Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / June 2004Ferrari shirts on eBay
I selling off my collection of vintage Ferrari shirts. Mostly stuff from the early '90s including a couple of 1991 USGP shirts. A list of my auctions is at: <http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=ra certodd> Todd Seattle,WA '86 GTI, Red of course. (exciting racey car) 257,000 miles '87 Golf, Polar Silver. (boring work car) 475,000 miles <- Yeah, baby! http://www.pureluckdesign.com <-Ferrari & VW stuff http://www.pureluckdesign.com/rallyyank <-Rally Videos <<I selling off my collection of vintage Ferrari shirts. >> How can something be *new* and *vintage* at the same time? C. ><<I selling off my collection of vintage Ferrari shirts. >> > >How can something be *new* and *vintage* at the same time? They were bought back in the early '90s and never worn thus they are brand new. They're old enough to be considered vintage. Kind of like New Old Stock. I used NEW and VINTAGE in my titles to get more hits on the ebay search engine. Also NEW and VINTAGE helps distinguish them from cheap unauthorized knock-offs that many others sell.

(Sorry if it makes you go "aargh" - and if you already mentioned something here and I didn't catch it). I watched the coverage and saw you DNS'd. Those Audis look pretty tough now that they kind of de-balled the CTS-Vs ... MC <<Hey there, C - what happened at Lime Rock?>> Not much. <<Sorry if it makes you go "aargh" >> It's not the highlight of my racing career. <<I watched the coverage and saw you DNS'd.>> But you missed the part where I DNQ? I have to remember to take Tom Hnatiw, the World Challenge announcer, a beer at the next race. When he introduced the field, instead of saying that I DNQ, he said that my car wouldn't start the race because my Crew Chief broke the car during the warm-up. That was true and not true, but was about the nicest way that he could say it. At least, nicest for me. <g> I DNQ, but we were talking about the car starting with my Crew Chief driving. He took the car out in the warm up, but it wasn't his fault that it broke. He was coming down the Diving Turn onto the front straight when the left, rear control arm broke. He was lucky to keep it off the wall. Funny thing was, he didn't realize at first what had happened. He figured that he'd just made a mistake and gone off track. He almost finished another lap before the bad handling and the smoke from the tires rubbing on the body work had filled the cockpit and convinced him that something was wrong. We spent two days testing at Mid-Ohio last week and the car is at Ford right now having a new clutch and diff installed. Hopefully we'll be able to get more power down and I'll have a chance at the next race. <<Those Audis look pretty tough now that they kind of de-balled the CTS-Vs ...>> You didn't see the sand trickling out the back of Angelelli and Pilgrim's cars? There's no telling what would have happened if the race hadn't ended under yellow, but I'd bet a month's worth of Diet Coke that GM was planning on having both Caddie drivers on podium. They began their march thru the field about 15 laps before the end of the race. Once they began their move, they just started slipping by the other cars like they were standing still. Lime Rock is known for being a very difficult track to pass on, but the Caddies managed to BOTH pass McClure in one corner. Expect more of that at Mid-Ohio. C.

Anyone else going? -Matt- :::blew a tire on his CB350 yesterday::: <<<raises hand> I'll be there. Anyone else going?>> Cool. Sorry I can't add you to our crew list, but we've got a number of people from Ford and Tremec coming to this race and we're full up. I'm checking to see if we can use a few spots on someone else's list. If we can, I'll let you know. Or have you already bought tickets? <<-Matt- :::blew a tire on his CB350 yesterday:::>> That's almost never good. Am I safe in assuming that you're not posting from a hospital bed?

Already bought tickets, which reminds me... Gotta find 'em. > <<-Matt- :::blew a tire on his CB350 yesterday:::>> > > That's almost never good.

I'm okay, displayed my fine detective skills riding along at 60mph thinking "gosh it sure is windy now, bike's all over the place..." Eventually I realized as my wobbles worsened that my back tire was probably going flat. Slower, slower, slower still with the bike wanting to fishtail I limped it to a nearby elementary school. By that point the rear tire was off the bead, with maybe ten pounds of air in the tube. After a three hour ordeal in 89 degree heat I got the thing back home in a borrowed truck. She needed tires anyway. -Matt- "..." <<I'm okay, displayed my fine detective skills riding along at 60mph thinking "gosh it sure is windy now, bike's all over the place...">> You and my Crew Chief can share tales of your respectively brilliant observation skills over a beer at Mid-Ohio.

Sounds like a plan to me! -Matt- "..." |
