Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Impressions

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

I am laughing at this whole thread because my house, my garage , my  
work, my clothing, my life is dedicated to Ferrari and I have gone out  
with a
Michael Schumacher t shirt, a Ferrari shirt and a Ferrari jacket on. I  
am only missing the tattoo!  Of course I take pride in the fact that  
most of my Ferrari stuff is
not the run of the mill junk. My mother in law was in Maranello last  
year and for Christmas I got a whole bunch of stuff  from there all  
made in China!  Oh the Pain!!!

Rob

I have a jacket just like the one on the left!  :-)
