Ferrari Mailing List: One more thrill! ( heart rate up!!)

[philville dejazzd.com (philville]

   If you have had the opportunity, you know what I mean...if not, hope
   that you get the opportunity just once.

   Get in the seat of an F-40........sit there, think about where you
   are.......reach for the key....turn the ignition on.....now, hit the
   start button..........every time I have done this, it is like a shot
   of electricity has been sent through my body from the start button to
   my right foot....

   I can only say, what a thrill....you don't even need to drive it.
   Phil
