Nick T. drove one, no? He had nothing but great things to say about the
Ghibli.

Islero you should aim for S, not only because of the extra power, but
because they supposedly were built better too.

But what about Ralph's comment that the classic car market may still be in a
state of limbo? He said the Maserati Indy went from 20k - 65k in three
years...isn't everything exotic appreciating?

I've never seen a C4 before. It'd be interesting for my 1st time to be on

The Jarama "Bob" was a good effort at making the car cool looking. Orange
paint, better rims, hot rod motor...

Of course, I believe there was only 1 made, LOL.

Interestingly enough, I think our boy NT drove this too! What a resume that
guy has...
So what's the definitive word on Boxers? Are they out of the price range or
are you not interested?

Remember the formula you learned in junior high school:

Carbed Flat 12 > Injected Flat 12.

you engaged in...
