Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Tulsa area auto event

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

I took a ride in one that had been imported from Europe almost a year ago
(the importation, not the ride).  I'd be afraid to get hit by a semi, or
even maybe a Buick Electra 225, but his diesel version seemed to have at
least adequate pep around town.  SMG gearshift, convertible, all the bells
and whistles see www.members.cox.net/kjtar for pics.  I just want to go and
take a test drive in one, hopefully there'll be one with a stick shift.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Or lost, I suppose.  Thanks for the
details, Dan.  Oh, and Ken...you better not get one then.
:)
Best regards,
Tom
