Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No Longer Looking to Buy a Ferrari

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

In the Rolls club, I know a lot of folks who actually name their cars.
 These cars often have more interesting pedigrees than an 80s Ferrari,
for instance they are coachbuilt cars built precisely to order due to
the whims of some weird rich guy.  Some people name their cars after
the original owner.  My car (a Phantom-III) is named "The Vantom"
because that's what my kids called it when they were younger, I mean
it's a limo, but to them it's like a big van (we have taken the family
camping with it multiple times), so when they hear 'Phantom' they must
have thought we were calling it 'Vantom,' so therefore that's its
name!
