Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Daily driver divorce

[Gavin (gavinnz]

I have to admit to finding it bloody hard to sell one of my bikes (a blue 
and silver 1978 900SS Ducati on wire wheels).. I had to deliver it in my van 
200 miles and I had to put a cover over it to stop it "looking at me" lol...
The good news is I bought it back 4 years later and still have it:)

Selling my Ferrari will be easy..... as I will be dead and buried when it 
happens.
