"Too many notes", but that's what the idiotic regs dictate.

Poor form Mike...  FIAT have made some great cars over the years, and
have a long history with Ferrari, including building the engines of
the 206/246 [Ferrari] Dinos.

Since the '80s Ferraris have always carried a FIAT logo, they are,
after all, the bedrock of Ferrari's parent corporation.

Succumbing to the idiot anglo stereotyping is surely beneath you, no?

Not to mention the FIAT Dinos and Lancia's Strato's [sic] and Monte

What's up with that front wing? Does anyone have equivalent pics of
last year's car to compare to?

It is rather prominent, isn't it?

I like last year's better.

Is the overall car smaller this year?

<<Are you ever going to reply to my last e-mail?>>

Would you like my current list of excuses?

1. I'm working from home again due to health reasons.
2. My laptop has died a horrible death.
3. The computer I'm working from has no USB connection, so loading the
info I need onto it is a nightmare.
4. I'm not sure of the proper way to upgrade this computer without
risking losing all the info on it, too.

So, is the overall car smaller this year?

It's going to take some time to get used to seeing such an inferrior
marque as FIAT on the nose and sideposd.  I know FIAT has a generally
good reputation in Europe, but here in America FIAt is seen as a cheap
a.s car...which it really is.

FIAT signage on an F1 Ferrari is not new this year.

...Imbecile.

Mark, Mark, Mark.  There is nothing you love more than alienating
newcomers.  The man's had some good opinions and we can always use fresh
blood in here.  Unless he's been lurking for awhile and has thick enough
skin, why don't you give him a few weeks before whipping out the insult
dictionary?

It's getting so that if we ever meet I'll only be able to buy you
domestic beer.  (Though I admit that's a huge playing field.)

...Including FIAT is "a cheap a.s car"?  It's barely a reactionary
thought, much less a thoughtful and insightful opinion.

I never care to suffer fools gladly, and I fail to see why an
exception is warranted here.

...YMMV.

Well, one thing I've learned in this world is that if you never care to
suffer fools gladly, then you're probably going through life completely
alone, or nearly so ...

You will not sell me on the joys of sheepdom.

I thought that particular practice was limited to Welsh hill farmers
and New Zealanders.

Must be a tough pursuit in New York.
