Ferrari Mailing List: Re: She has arrived!!!

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi George,
   Congratulations!!  I'm sure the love affair will be long and intense! 
;-)

   There's an advertisement for Porsche that says, "It's impossible not to 
turn around and have another look after parking."  I think it applies 
perfectly to Ferrari's as well.

   The only Ferrari I was fortunate enough to  know personally belonged to 
my former boss - a 87 328GTSi in red and tan (of course) which he called his 
"amusement park ride on wheels"  - a nice way to put it I think - especially 
after my 1st ride on it.

;-)

   BTW, There's a wax that is put on without any sponges or pads -- they 
suggest you use your hands to massage the wax into the paint.  Don't know if 
it works any better as a wax, but I'll bet that's a *very* sensual way to 
apply wax - there are some body panels that are so,.. so..... so something.. 
that simply demands they be touched  ;-)

Gotta go - take care -
