Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Car and watch guide

[LarryT (l02turner]

   Ahhh,..good old Harry.  It was such a shock when he passed away a couple 
of years ago.   He & I traded emails talking about our mutual time spent in 
the nuke construction industry.  He was a huge character.  Now that he has 
passed away his books have skyrocketed in price - I only hope his family is 
receiving the increased funding.

   He once told a story about Seinfield showing up at his doorstep with a 
terribly running Speedster which he had just had rebuilt.  The builder used 
substandard parts, mis-matched parts - you get the picture.  The Maestro 
ended up using a 356 industrial engine (one of a number he had bought for 
this situation) rebuilding it properly and JS said it ran perfectly - where 
before he was afraid to drive more than a few miles from his home now he was 
able to explore as far as he wished - with confidence he would make it home 
without the assistance of a tow truck.

   He wrote about many of his experiences and I have some of them on Word 
document - but it's approx 200 pages. (887kb) which I'll be happy to send - 
but its a little large to attach -  ;-)

He certainly is missed -
