Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Digest, Vol 29, Issue 43

Give it time,  you're not done yet :-)

It worked with my oldest (now 36),  failed with my next (now 31,  she 
was/is very headstrong and manipulative),  does not work at all with my 
son (8 yo,  it just gets his back up),  and works with my youngest (6) 
for now,  but she's just too sweet to say no to :-). 

Some semi-Ferrari content - My newest car purchase (American I might add 
),  a FFR Type 65 Daytona Coupe,  was modeled after the one that kicked 
Enzo's butt. :-)  I know a lot here on the list will turn their noses up 
but it's  been a load of fun building my own.  We head to the dyno this 
Thursday to break it in.
