Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What should I buy?

(continued)

One more suggestion - I have been smitten by the 250GT-SWB since seeing one 

in Rivera Blue paint in the Tour de France a few years ago,  Seeing it 

rolling thru country lanes with the nose slightly up as he accelerated thru 

the gears and the carbureted V12 sang it's special song. ;-D

ok, I'd better stop the heavy breathing now .....before this qualifies as an 

obscene phone call --

I know a dream like this isn't usually as titilating as the reality is and 

unless the right lottery numbers hit it'll still be a dream for me next 

year.  But I'd dearly love to drive on thru France, Italy and Austria with 

an unlimited gas card. ;-) and an Amex card with the bill going to George 

Soros.--

Actually that dream has several cars that I;d love to have with me -- did I 

mention the timing would be such that I could see the 24H of LeMans 

including the Classic 24H, the F1's at Spa and Monza and the historic Millie 

Miglia and Targa Florio.  ahhhhh... i'd better stop... the Stelvio is 

calling  ...

Larry:

The story about F50s only being leased is untrue.

The "F60" 60th anniversary car - was the Enzo.

and , your math is off - 1947+50 = 1997 (F50 was released in '95).

Hey Ya'll -
2 Questions -

I've heard the F50 is never sold, only leased for 2 year periods 

assuming

the leasee is approved.  True?

The F40 and F50 were to commemorate the 40th and 50th Anniv of  Ferrari - 

was

there a 60th Anniv edition - was there even a celebration?  I'm  assuming 

the

60th is past --  but only because I don't recall any mention of a
celebration --

Perhaps I just missed it?  What's the starting point?  1947?  no,  that 

can't

be right =- that would make the 50th in 2007 - I *know* it was not  last
year --  but it was not long after the end of WW2 I think -

YMMV -

Take Care,

Keep you young?  It will make your head spin - - - - literally.  I  was 

a

hanger on with a OB/Gyn who was a hell of an SCCA Group B racer.   So 

when

Jody Scheckter's Formula 5000 came up for sale he bought it and  raced 

it.

Long Beach first ever on the streets race there and Riverside and oh
Laguna
Seca.  Sez John when he was trying to heat up the tires - none of  this
wobble back and forth then - just accel and brake - ol John said he  did
that
a few times and he couldn't see.  My my.

Give me a break!  The 333SP will keep you young!  You can pamper
yourself

when you turn 70, although I know several racers who kept things 

lively

well

past that age.  Paul Newman into his 80's and John Fitch, who is  now 

91

and a
challenge to keep up with on the road even now.

You will NEVER sit in your rocking chair saying that you regretted 

buying

the 333SP.

Trust me on that!  :-)

On a  track, agreed. But I'm not sure if I want a track car, or a

years. I need to pamper myself. Hehehe.  ;)

Hey Steve: No contest. The  333SP wins in a breeze.

Well... I've got it down to two VERY different cars:

575M  or 333SP

So,  Steve-

After your mention of the shortlist (and your  invitation for  listers 

to

make it longer) on September 4th, have you  decided what to buy  yet? 

Or

at
least which ones previously mentioned that  didn't make the cut?
