Ferrari Mailing List: Re: eBay Advice Sought

Doug:
 
You would not believe the comments I get when I take Blackhawk out in the  
Silver Spur or the Corniche let alone Silver Cloud III. Folks, even Rolls Royce 
 
Owners Club, can't understand "how I could let him in such an expensive car". 
 Hey, I worked for the money to pay for it, and besides, they let their kids 
ride  in their RR's so why shouldn't I let mine do the same.
 
I do have to say that the hearse has become the ideal car for his park  
trips, though. And if he has to do a domestic, why not a Cadillac or a Lincoln  
<g>? In any event, it has big rubber stall mats covering the casket table,  and 
it is nice and flat, no seats to have to hold on to en route, easy enough  for 
him to get in and out of with his ramp and I can leave his water bowl out  for 
him to drink out of on the road if he gets thirsty.
 
My first Mastiff was a female Apricot Fawn. I guess she is the reason why  
I've never had another apricot one as it would just have too much to live up to 
 
and it wouldn't be fair to him. Same reason why I only have males now, and I  
never neuter them, I guess I can't figure out how you are "fixing" a dog by  
breaking the parts he was created with, except for medical necessity. That was 
 1967 and I've had nothing but Mastiffs ever since. Blackhawk is my first  
Brindle. The one I had before him was a Fawn and I just wasn't ready to have  
another one that looked the same. In fact, it took me almost two years after he 
 
passed on to even be able to be ready to have another Mastiff. Lots of really 
 fond memories of each of them and more stories about them than I could put 
in a  book the size of Black's Law Dictionary.
 
To be honest about it, if I could figure out a tactful way to get Audrey to  
ride in the trunk of my Ferrari I'd pull the right seat out of it so Blackhawk 
 could ride in it. That is my only frustration with the Ferrari, and why I 
may  eventually buy a Mondial as well. I don't get to take many road trips in 
the  Ferrari because I won't ever even consider leaving him home on any travel 
except  when I am going to be in trial and I wouldn't really have the time to 
pay proper  attention to him.
 
But, my guess is that you are one of the few that understand how I am about  
that.
