Ferrari Mailing List: Re: First 1000 miles done in the 308 :)

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Wonderful Peter - this is a great day.  A long time ago there were a whole 
bunch of folks from Australia and New Zealand that have GT4s and raced them 
and what not.  That was 1999 or so.  That was when the List had hundreds of 
hits a day - gawd help you if went on vacation for two weeks.  But as with 
many of the others - they have dropped off active listing, if they are there 
at all.  I poked about but two computers later I have lost their addresses. 
If they are there - they will reply - nice fellows.  One guy unfortunately 
burned his car to the ground - only time I have now is check check check for 
fuel leaks - the gift that keeps on giving.
DOUG
enjoy the day - it will be a blur to you in a year.  System overload.  heh 
heh
