Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What Should I Buy [Ferrari Digest, Vol 26, Issue 5]

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

Steve:
 
While, of course, you don't have a Fire Engine like mine, so that is always  
an alternative, but should you seek to avoid the curiosity-seekers that it  
attracts I'd have to recommend that you find yourself an earlier model MB  
G-wagen and do something new for a while, play on the trails. It will amaze you 
 
how much there is to explore, though you are considering an H1 that  might not 
be exactly correct, with a different type of vehicle.
 
And, when you get back into your Ferrari, you will just appreciate its  
different character even more.
 
A couple of years ago, during my last tour at Ft. Huachuca I got out the  GPS 
and decided to find the exact location where Geronimo surrendered the last  
of the Apache nation. Took a couple of trips but it was like one of those old  
fashioned road rallyes (pre-GPS) where things were done with time/distance  
calculations using stop watches and odometers. A lot of challenge with an  
interesting outcome.
 
And with a GPS backup, its pretty safe just in case. Next year we'll try  out 
some newly acquired skills navigating with a sextant. Longer distances and  
times, but more challenging as well. If I could ever finish healing I could go  
back to practicing no-gyro GCA's as well but that is another story for 
another  time.
 
Anyway, in the end free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it and  
you'll have to make up your own mind since it is your money, but sometimes a  
variety of capabilities in an automotive stable is an asset.
