Ferrari Mailing List: Virgin Galactic +Ferrari

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

Here a little fun fact for you guys. 
Virgin Galactic just launched today with the first fee paying passengers. One 
of those passengers is an 80 year old, former Olympian, from the UK. ( Jon 
Goodwin). 
Now I lived in the UK for 22 years and Jon was/is an active member of the 
Ferrari Owners Club West Midlands chapter along with his wife. I was area group 
organiser for the FOC for almost 10 years in the West Midlands. Jon owns a 275 
GTC and a Lusso amount other Ferraris. Jon has been waiting since 2005 to take 
a ride on Virgin Galactic, today he had his chance after almost 19 years. He 
has Parkinson’s but still wanted to go.  Below is a picture of John in his 
Lusso on a cold wet November night last year when the weather was horrible but 
he came out to the area group meeting ( I was attending the Classic and Sports 
Car show in Birmingham that weekend so I was in the UK visiting my old area 
group.
So there you go, a true Ferrari guy who drives in all weathers and now has made 
it to suborbital  space at the age of 80.
