Ferrari Mailing List: Re: The wait

[Jason Polzer (jason]

   Great story "Bubba"!
   I fell for Ferrari's during a vacation in Monaco.  Every time a
   Ferrari barked to life and settled into it's burble all the hairs on
   my arms stood on end.  It never got old.   I was hearing them all day
   every day.  Ask my wife how many meals I casually left the table to
   peer outside nonchalantly.  I had tingles the whole time there.  My
   wife wanted to rent us a 360 spider for the day so we could drive the
   F1 track.  I convinced her that the money would be better spent on my
   OWN Ferrari, so we kept circling the city in our diesel Puegeot.  Even
   redlining a four-banger in 2nd gear that tunnel is great.  Needless to
   say the Casino did not offer to park our car out front so we always
   walked to the Cafe de Paris (along the circuit of course).
   Best regards,
   Jason Polzer

   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
   ros es, and a huge flower Cavallino on a stand 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?
