    Nice photos Furman. I see you got my 348 on the lift. Hopefully she is done soon. It was great to see everybody and the beautiful cars that were brought. Now, when's that next drive?

    Did Dave finally expand into the space next door (West) from the shop ? Looks like he has a little "showroom" space now :)

    Do I spy a Lusso? :)

    What's up with the 430? Looks like a Challenge?

    Yes, he has expanded and yes there's a bit of a showroom.

    Yes, that is a Lusso, a very nice one. I'm not sure the exact connection with Dave. If he is working on it or checking it out or storing it or brokering it or selling it.

    The 360 is a Challenge car that is getting an engine overhaul.

    One thing I came away is Dave is really diving deep into the electronic side of Ferrari's which of course have become very complex over the years.

    Nice work on the photos Furmano.

    While Dave is a true mechanical master, sure seems like he and his team are electrical experts too! I sure learned some interesting things -- and i can i personally say my 308 has never run better since Jenni crimped all my gold connectors on!

    Furman,
    Sorry I missed you. I wanted to ask about the Bridgestones on your 328. I need some all season tires that will have some life in them. Since I didn't know what you look like, I wasn't able to track you down.

    NO, the BBi is NOT for sale. Kris, Jenni and I have told Dave that he'd better be wearing two cups if he sells it because the three of us will all be waiting in the jimmy-kicking line to see if we can double him over. So if anyone makes an offer, just know that they are putting Dave's jewels in jeopardy.

    Totally, I was looking for you too but I had to bailout early. Your GTB looks great!

    As far as the Bridgestones, so far, so good. I only have about 100 miles on them. They look a little puffy for my taste but they seem to ride well and have a progressive feel in the corners.

    Ha ha, good to know.

    One more picture from the drive up. What's that saying, something like driving a Ferrari on a road under construction is better than driving something else on a perfectly good road. :)

    Yeah, until you blast a giant ball of asphalt! I have no idea how my bumper survived unscathed. She's a tough lady!
