Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Time for change (Sold my Ferrari)

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Hi Jim,

Hope your next is also a Ferrari or that it at least gives you a lot of
pleasure.

I've had my 308gt4 for nearly 19 years - often wonder what I'd get next. But
this old girl and I have had a few adventures together, so I think I will
keep her even when I get another, possibly in the next 12 months. For me, I
have found that when you bend the body work but then repair it to better
than before, when you blow up the motor but make it better than it ever was,
when you work on this bit and that and hopefully make each bit better than
it was, you feel really bonded - totally irrational but who said life has to
be totally rational!

Cheers,

Grahame in Sydney

P.S. I will be visiting USA and Canada from next week for a couple of weeks
and then Europe after that. Would love to meet some of you if that could
work out.  (California next week, then British Columbia, then New York and
Philadelphia, then London....)

Hans, you actually talked me out of a GT4 that I had a deposit on. ;)    I
was intent on a Platinum Award Winning GT4 and backed out after our
discussion, which made me realize that what I really desired was a perfect
Driver, not a Perfect Show Car!    I recall that conversation well!

I had no idea that it had been that long.  I remember that we chatted
briefly one evening before you bought it, but I thought that was only maybe
2 years ago..............  Time flies, yada, yada.

4 years and 22 days.   Ownership of my little GT4 (affectionately referred
to as "Ethel" by my Daughters) has been amazing, however, the time has come
for change.   If the pic attaches to this message, you'll see that she
headed to her new home (YES Rick, I refer to the car as "her" ...LOL!). Back
to California it goes.   The new owner is going to take over right where I
left off....motor is coming out an the car will be painted it's original
Dino Metallico Blu color according to him.    In the meantime, I'll be
saving for the next Ferrari......Change is good!
