    Interesting that they sold Benny's FXX back then and bought another now. Understandable considering how amazing the FXX sounds.

    It appeared to have some (minor?) work done at a prominent race shop in Florida. I saw some photos of it on a lift with the wheels off.

    I’m not sure why it’s where it is. It seems to me that Al Roberts took great care of it for many years.

    Perhaps Al retired?

    I remember shooting the car at Preston's house while he and Al fussed on another car like it was yesterday....it was over twenty years ago:eek:

    No, Al still goes to the shop at Ferrari Ft. Lauderdale every day and he’ll be 81 this year!

    “were” ...? Apparently Amelia Island needs a proof reader. That’s just embarrassing.
