Ferrari Mailing List: FERRARI - Legends & Passion

   Just caught the beginning of an episide I haven't seen yet - Oh, My God! 
My new dream car just went by!!    An early 60's 250GT Berlinetta - what a 
gorgeous car - and when the V-12 gets wound up the sound was amazing  - 
well, as good as my surround sound can make it - I can only try to imagine 
what it would sound like in person!

   I know the new F430s and 550s/575s are amazing cars - but there's 
something about the older cars that pull my heart strings.  Dennis Liu is 
going to say I'm living in the past - perhaps.  Of course, if I were to 
drive a new F430 or a 360 then jump into a 250GT I may not believe how 
ancient the 250GT is - or how luxurious the 430/360 is and decide I want all 
those creature comforts.  I may be wrong but I don't think so - my 66/67 
(built as a 66 but registered as a 67) MGB is made in the old fashioned way 
of building sports cars - nothing added that doesn't make it faster (all 
being relative) - even the radio & heater were options many people didn't 
buy.

   Sorry - having a nostalgic moment and wanted to share it. ;-)

Have a nice week ya'll --
