Ferrari Mailing List: Steve J's dilemma

[George P . (ygpz4re]

Well, I've been lurking back on the list for a few weeks now, and reading of 
poor Steve's dilemma of what car to buy, I just had to chime in.
 
I've been feeling really bad for Steve lately, what with this awful dilemma - 
kind of like Sophie in that movie (well, maybe not *that* bad) - that I thought 
I'd make the following sacrificial offer:
 
Steve, I've got a pretty nice, unrestored, '78 Triumph Spitfire that I'd let 
you have for a lot less than any of those other cars.  It's got a Weber carb 
(like a Ferrari), and Ansa muffler (like a Ferrari), and even a little horsie 
badge in the front grill (like a Ferrari).  [for the moment, we'll ignore the 
fact that it's missing about 8 cylinders!]  I'll even be sure it's all put back 
together for you before you come to get it!  Oh, and it's that classic color 
combo - red/tan!  I simply don't see how you can refuse!
 
Hahahahahahaha.......
 
Seriously, how about something really vintage, like a 4 cam 275?  A 250SWB?  Or 
find yourself a neat one-off from the 50's?  Classic front engine V-12, barely 
muffled, shiny chrome wires, classic egg-crate grille...  You've already got so 
much of the new stuff.....  Time for a change!
 
Good luck!
 
George P.
