Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Dear Mr. Ecclestone:

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

When der Frau and I were long-distance dating (She in Little Rock and me in 
Tucson), she drove out to visit one time, arriving on a Sunday morning in 
March. I told her that I wouldn't be home when she arrived as I would be at the 
F1 race in Phoenix that weekend to cheer my beloved Ferrari on to victory. The 
key would be under the door mat. Beer in the frig, and the pool was warm. When 
I finally got home late Sunday night, she confronted me and asked me whether 
SHE or a "stupid car race" was more important to me? All I could answer was the 
old Jack Benny line when the robber pointed a gun at him and asked, "Your money 
or your life, which will it be?" Both Mr. Benny and I said the same thing, "I'm 
thinking, I'm thinking ... " After we were married, she thought I was nutz to 
get up at 4:30 on Sunday mornings and go sit, watching F1 on a TV that I had 
set up in our 'genuine' Navaho sweat lodge by the pool. Later she got hooked on 
Nigel Mansel (The Red5 in my e-mail address) and became as big a Tifosi as I 
was. We used to go to all the CART races on the West Coast to see Nigel drive, 
starting with his 1st year over here. From there it was Montreal, Indy, Belgium 
and Monza Italy. After Nigel, it was Jacques, then Alex Zanardi, and frinally 
Michael. (No, not Andretti, who we found to be almost as big an ass as his then 
wife Sandy was.) Our Michael. End of Story.
 
Forza Ferrari! yer pal Bubba

with two reheated slices of BBQ chicken pizza, wrapped in a ratty old  
Linus-quilt, thinking "My God! It's 3:30 AM! How am I supposed to  
sleep now....":
