Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Looking to buy a Ferrari

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Having driven Rick's car with grandson Jerry I can vouch for the statement
he made.  I'D rather have Rick's car!
And grandson Jerry still has the pictures from our visit on the wall in his
room.  Even though he always is enthusiastic about "Porsche 911 turbo" I
think he secretly lusts for a Ferrari.  :)
