Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / March 2007Today's Ride
After being stored in the garage for winter for the past 5 months, I took the 308 out today. It rained like a monsoon yesterday, so I figured the salt and sand washed away. The car ran great. Was out about two hours early, when there weren't many other people on the road. Mix of street (light to light) and highway driving. Very exhilirating, and the car loved it. It's been 5 years since my last major, I need to start planning for a belt change. Figured I'd actually post something about Ferrari here, as most of what I read on this ng is just drivel. What the hec happened during my absence? Where is everyone? Paul get's married, and the whole place goes to the lurkers. What ever happened to Speaker? Tiger, I saw you on FChat, welcome. NIce bunch over there. I rode with the NYC crew not too long ago, a bunch of guys with 360s - amazing car, a couple 308s, and a guy with a 355. To see all the cars lined up, and then drive through NYC, it was something. Anyway, Phil <<The car ran great. Was out about two hours early, when there weren't many other people on the road.

I still haven't taken care of the service on my car, so it's my own damn fault I haven't been able to drive it lately. <<Figured I'd actually post something about Ferrari here, as most of what I read on this ng is just drivel.>> We were just getting used to the drivel. Ferrari stuff will only confuse us. << What the hec happened during my absence?>> You were gone! We were grieving! What did you expect of us? <<Where is everyone? Paul get's married, and the whole place goes to the lurkers. What ever happened to Speaker?>> Good question. I'm sure it's EuroPaul's fault. <<Tiger, I saw you on FChat, welcome. NIce bunch over there.>> Thanx! There seems to be some good guys posting. There are, of course, the usual bunch of 14 yr old boys too. I weep for their wives and daughters. Speaking of which! How's your family? C. > <<Where is everyone? Paul get's married, and the whole place goes to > the lurkers. What ever happened to Speaker?>> > Good question. I'm sure it's EuroPaul's fault.

Still waiting on 4 more responses, so far he's 2 for 2 - Poly Tech Rennsalier and Binhampton. We'll see. Everone else is doing fine, Rosemary is looking for a new ride, torn between opposite ends of the spectrum, but at least they are both German - a new Beetle convertible and a Bimmer 3 series truck. We'll see what happens, I'm just happy we are out of the mini-van stage, 9 years of that is enough. Phil >After being stored in the garage for winter for the past 5 months, I >took the 308 out today.

Where are you, where are planning to have that done? I was out with a friend in his 308 yesterday, as well, banging around post-deluvian mid-eastern Westchester co. >Tiger, I saw you on FChat, welcome. NIce bunch over there.

I'm in the forgotten NYC burb - the Island Of Staten. I've brought the car to Onofrio (Frank) over at Classic Coach over the years. He's a nice guy and they have a cool shop, with all those cars in storage upstairs it's a sight. Plus that platinum colored F50 he has is just superb. I really liked Serio - his hop mgr, he helped me alot when I was sarting out, and even helped me search for a 308. But he's been gone for 5 years or so now, since my last major. This time, I am considering using Steve Arena, the guys on FChat speak highly of him. I spoke to him a few times and he seems like a real nice guy also. If you have other recommendations, let me know. > Some of those NY F-chatters are frightful in print. Yeah, they are a bit young, with too much money. And have the "bling" thing going between the watches and other gadgets. But when I met them, the few that were there were nice guys. > ...Did you meet the guy who posts pics of himself with the strippers > in Scores? Yes, I think he was on the run they invited me to on 9/11 about 2 years ago. Not sure if I am envious of him, or grateful I'm out of that "phase". Phil You american by chance? Then were not interested, everyone hate the americans... > After being stored in the garage for winter for the past 5 months, I > took the 308 out today.

'everyone hate the americans' ? try saying 'everyone hate the jews' or 'everyone hate the blacks' and see how that feels. Hold up... is that acually you Bert? do you have a BT account these days? or is this someone a little closer to home? Another quiet night in Harlow, perhaps? -Paul >> You american by chance? >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > -Paul I'm not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally! ;-) MH >> You american by chance? >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > or is this someone a little > closer to home? Freaky, I'm Bert Kanters not Kert Banters and never cross post harsh language to a dozen groups I don't participate in. > Freaky, I'm Bert Kanters not Kert Banters and never cross post harsh > language to a dozen groups I don't participate in. I thought not. Perhaps Mikal is back. I can only assume that he was to drunk to remember that we know his name and address... -Paul |
