Ferrari Mailing List: Re: The wait

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Jason: I saw my first Ferrari race at Paramount Ranch in 1956 (Bruce Kessler 
driving). From that moment on...I was hooked and promised myself that some day 
I'd drive my own. From there it was Shelby in John Edgar's car, John von 
Neuman, Ritchie Ginther, Phil Hill and John's Daughter, Josie race in the 
1950's. I even saw Dan Gurney's first Ferrari test in an old clap-trap 4.9 at 
Riverside Raceway. Dan had been driving Cal Bailey's Corvette up until then. 
So, from the summer of 1956 til June, 1999 appears to be 43 years. I always 
said that once I drove my own Ferrari (Sorry cLyDe if it's only a Shitbox, but 
it's registered as a Ferrari), I could die feeling I had done something 
positive in my life, and die satisfied. I had a good friend in Tucson who owned 
a Euro 308. He died in 2003 and his funeral was all Ferrari, His red 308 parked 
beside his open grave, his plain unpainted wooden coffin decorated with a large 
red and gold spray of roses, and a huge flower Cavallino on a sta
 nd beside the coffin. His wife said that they got the idea before he died from 
pictures of the von Tripps funeral after his crash at Monza in 1961. To me, he 
couldn't have had a better exit from this world.

Subject: [Ferrari] The wait


We're moving in Dec!

Content:  With this move everything above "Ferrari" has been scratched 
off the list.  The F-car seems just around the corner now, even if still 
years away.

Who has the record for waiting the longest?  Any 100-year-old's running 
out and purchasing their first exotic?
