Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NCC (No Camaro Content): Ferrari F40 Trophy Rally

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Boy Willi.  2 strikes for you today, ya'll better get back to coon hunting 
there in AR with WJC.  :)  First strike, it's not "Ferrari's" it's "Ferraris".  
As an old newsie, you should know that.  2nd, I didn't say that, I gave credit 
to John for a line he used in a post of his which was a reply to one from cLyDe.
Go back to bed,  tomorrow will be better.

Best,
TulsaTom

  Hey Tom: GET SERIOUS! There is no "Worst model Ferrari."  For the love of God 
... They're all Ferrari's. That's like asking, "Which model Yugo is the best." 
Just my 2 pesos.

  Yer pal, Shitbox Bubba

I think John's sentence "The worst model Ferrari is still better than 95% of
the cars out there." should be added to the coffee mug.  Or have another one
started, whatever.
Best regards,
