Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

2 thoughts, watches are like ferraris as they are fine example of machinery. I 
was given a watch catalog by a friend once and it had 30 pages and not one 
watch was below $400K.

I actually bought a couple of MOMO watches on ebay about 250 each. I like them 
as they go with my other stuff. I am sure if I had a bit more cash i would have 
more watches......

I have a very rare MOMO jacket that I wore to work once. Some of my staff 
thought it was funny and made an H just like the M stuck it on there and I 
walked around for about a week with it like that.
I even thought that was funny!

The very rich have so much money that after a while it is like a contest to see 
who can buy the most expensive things, I understand this feeling I just dont 
have the$$$! and if I did you guys
know what i would buy.... :-)


Oh yea I pulled through my heater hose, by myself, today, if anyone ever does 
this please read my write up on Fchat it was easy, once I screwed it up the 
first time!!! next vacuum hose, Did you know the nipples on the engine and
the brake booster are different size, a real challenge to get this part right!!!


I still have not figured how to post pics here. FG just did the boxer is there 
some trick , every post i make with an attachment gets tossed????
