Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: Speeding Story

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Ed; Reminds me of a horse that ran at both Santa Anita and Hollywood Park 
back in the late 1960's. Shining Count was the name. Only the o in Count never 
appeared in the paper. Finally the Publisher, George Hearst Jr. came 
running?down to composing room, waving the race page in his shaking hand?and 
said that if she EVER ran again, we not only be fired on the spot, but be 
blackballed?from every newspaper in the U.S.A. Needless to say ... she was sold 
to a glue factory that very day. And then there was my idol, Walli Slamm, a 
BOAC pilot from Beruit who won the Grand Prix of Gibralter, driving the 
experimental 16-cylinder, 4-wheel drive Porsche. But that's another story.

All the news, we print.? Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba?

Just like a good Irishman Larry; never let the truth get in the way of a
good story. hee hee ;-)  Hey, it brought a smile to my face when I read it
this morning, true or not. :-)
