Picture this - August 1979, Tibor and I are at
the Ferrari factory and its empty 'cause this is the first day of national
vacation.
We have been told by sign language a fellow will
be here at 1:00 who speaks English.
We poke about the small, waiting room with a
yellow & cavallino tiled checkerboard wall and take pictures of
Giles and Jody's car - one car with different numbers and name on each
side.
A door opens and a striking figure in a gazillion
dollar suit approaches us.
May I help you?
We would like to see a little of the Ferrari
factory.
Hmmm, I see. Do you work for Ferrari?
Uh, no.
Do you work for an independent work shop?
Uh, no.
Do you own a Ferrari? Uh, no
Well - - - - then you have seen (arm sweeping the
area) a little of the Ferrari factory.
Wait - we both own Porsches and in the minds of a
Porsche owner the last car to own is a Ferrari.
I see - well, uh, I could give you about 45
minutes - - -
May I take my camera?
Sure -
And off we went.
