Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 458 Italia

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

I'm really curious what happened to Allie Ash (or was it Ashe?).  He loved all 
things Ferrari - vintage-raced that 250 SWB, Ferrari Challenge, drove that F-40 
everywhere.....what happened?  He just 'sell' and quit?

Wow, that is an amazing looking car.  Sort of a 308 (some angles) coupled with 
a 360 (some curves) all updated for the 21st Century.



Regarding "off the street deals" and cLyDe's comment about FoW (what I presume 
he meant by "Ferrari of DCA") almost going under, I respectfully disagree with 
that comment.  Yes, they changed ownership, yes many of the staff were let go 
and/or replaced, but from what I heard talking to the folks I know on the 
inside (remember, I spent nearly 9 years working with their race team), "going 
under" was never really a threat.  Do you have other info to support this 
comment?  Or maybe FoW was not who you meant at all, in which case, "Never 
Mind."  :-)



Thanks.
