Ferrari Mailing List: Re: The wait

[Clarence Romero Jr. (clyderomero]

I raced Ferrari slot cars in the early 60 John Surtees etc.
Followed F-1 back then as well
Saw the cars at the New York auto show and got hooked!
Said to my self 
What kind of job do I need to buy that car?
The rest is history
Bought my first one in 86 a 308 GTB QV 
Sold it in 96 and bought a 512 TR the same year a 93 
Going to buy a 575 as a retirement car and keep the 512TR 
Sorry I sold the 308 GTB they did not make many of those only 500 or so
Buy the car and drive the car 
Washing and waxing is for the queer crowd( yep standing by for the HIT!)
Paint chips are like medals
Get as many as you can before you die!
Drive hard and fast !
Tomorrow is promised to NO ONE!

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.

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?
