Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Digest, Vol 95, Issue 9

[Doug & Terri (dnt]

Hah hah - I would imagine.  10 or 15 years ago, out at Willow Springs
Raceway, the Ferrari Club had invited the owners of F1 cars to Com'on Down!
Pretty cool.  But even the 1995 or so car needed a bevy of techs just to
keep the motor together during warm up.  Ohhhh, that sounds like
SOOOooooOOOO much fun. (rolling eyes)

Yep, I have a friend that has a 333SP. Can't drive it on the street & needs
a Ferrari Technician along to get it started!
