    Thanks Carsten.
    Yes, this is a difficult time. At first I thought that it would not be a problem, but now I realize that I have to wait for another TWO months!!! I am happy that it is winter, although today would have been a wonderful day to drive the TR.
    Next week I leave for South Africa and when I return it is already almost December. It will be January before we know it. :)

    I am really looking forward to the next season.

    Ton - I sat in a Testa for about 15 minutes this afternoon. It felt WAY too confortable. Please don't tell my wife! ;)

    Ha ha! I might still be at the back though. But that is because you don't know that I am one round ahead of you. :)

    I'm scared that that will be the case! Debs says: "It's your money - you do what you want with it". Ouch... You know "that" tone of voice??

    @Ton,
    what is it you ordered at Leatherique?
    Paint for leather?

    Yes, as you can see on the earlier pictures there is a little bit of patina on the drivers seat. I want to treat this with some of the Leatherique products because I understand that the outcome is really nice. I also believe that you should treat the leather well to keep it in good shape. Unfortunately they will have to send a new package. It was quite a mess. :)

    Ah, I just heard that the chrome Cavallino for the rear grill and the Scuderia emblems for the fenders have arrived.
    Only one more loooooong month!

    No, no, I don't agree! :)
    Owning a Ferrari is better than desiring one!

    Ton - does that mean you're going to be taking the seats out, removing the old patina on the leather and starting again? If so, you're a brave man! It sounds like really hard work to me! maybe I should do some more reading and try to get my driver's seat into better shape.

    Cheers, MARK
