Ferrari Mailing List: Re: I could not have even changed a oil filter without you guys and the originalF-list Thank YOU

I put that link there on purpose to reinforce what I was saying. :-) I'm at the Rolls/Bentley meet here in California, and although I'm pretty sure I drove the farthest (3,898 miles in a 72 year old car), I'm not the only one doing stuff like this. Someone else brought their Silver Ghost (86 years old) over 2,900 miles. Another fellow brought his Phantom-II from Alberta and I think he said he put almost 1,400 miles on it. And we all still have to get home, too!!! :-)

So yes, like you, I enjoy working on the car. But the prize, the reward, is DRIVING it! :-)

Rob,

It looks outstanding, and sounds like it's running great. Do me a favor though and don't let the pristine condition of it now prevent you from thrashing it out!!!

My Dear Friends,

I just want to thank all of you who put up with me for that last two years, during my extended service. My first drive was today and it was perfect. The car starts instantly, idles at 900 rpm's, pulls cleanly in each gear, no stumbles, no hesitation, no smoke.

I want thank each of you for you help, support, parts, advice and comfort. There are few that love Ferrari more than I do. It is my passion, and the stuff of my dreams. Since I was 12 when I wrote Enzo, all I have thought about was Ferrari. I have always dreamed of owning this special vehicle and for me it was a dream come true. I have been lucky enough to have had this car for 17 years now and it looks and drives like a dream. I could not have done it without your help....I feel truly blessed to care for this special vehicle and will love it and care for it until it finds its way to its next caretaker.

Sincerely,

Rob Garven
