Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 08140 is in da HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

[jim (jimshadow]

I STAND CORRECTED!!!
Rob has an amazing eye!    The side markers are actually reflectors stuck on
over the original round EURO lights!!!   I'll get brave one of these days
and take them off so it's back to the stock EURO look. I'll send pics when I
do. 
Good eyes Rob!

Damn!  I hate seeing a car nicer than mine!!  :-)

I have a feeling your life has just changed for the better!!!! If you  
need any help
give a shout!  Are those front and rear side reflectors cut in or  
just stuck on???

Congratulations!  I remember my first ride, your experience brings  
back a flood of emotions.

And yes move everything in your garage over to your wifes side!!  :-P
