    Why not go directly for the 296 ?   More nimble and even more precise 

    I think he has one on order too  Smiley

    Yes on order even though I hate the front end, but I hated the pista front end back in '19.....  And if you love the sporty Fs - Strads, Scuds, Speciales and Pistas, it's hard to stay away

    Whilst the black pista is aesthetically perfect - even black wheel centres -  THE ARGENTO. has some fun features:

    The wheels are carbon and grey not blackSmiley

    The engine signatures are Charles LeClerc, Seb Vettel and Piero Ferrari.

    The car is sick with options - $495 window!  And the interior is acceptable, and only 900 miles.

    Blu Scuro does not print blue, more grey.

    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    Definitely more my gig than the Super Fast - the engine development is shocking -"none of the 488 Pista’s predecessors – the 360 CS, 430 Scuderia and 458 Speciale, and before those the 348 GT Competizione of 1993 – represented such a titanic leap in performance as this."

    This vintage of Ferrari race buckets are the best seats in the world, way better than Porsche.  And please note, never have to get upset about centre locksSmiley

    Watt, I love it. You’re in the fourth quarter of your life and your living life at break neck speed. Although we have our differences politically, I admire your approach to life. Don’t leave anything on the table.👍

    Definitely something many of us can learn from. Smiley 

    Watt is an inspiration, I enjoy his pics and storytelling every single day.

    I wish my kids had a grandfather like him, to share his stories and experience but my father passed away at 93 and my kids were too small to listen to his (quite impressive and sometimes shocking) stories about the war and the time after. 

    A positive approach to life is very important nowadays and even if it is difficult for me to be always positive, I try my best and always think about what Watt would do. Seriously. Smiley

    Haha, thanks Nick!  I hope there is a quarter left, it depends on not falling, but we're vertical and out in the mountains every day.

    I'd like to say one thing in Naila's memory.  Sabre and BoomBoom deeply appreciated her best wishes and those of Jackson when they were near death with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever back in September 2020.  God Bless you Naila.

    Haha Nick,

    I forgot to note that "breakneck speed" is literally correct in my case, and pedal continues to metal - within certain newly restricted bounds...   unless the surgeon decides he can build some safety in maybe next year -- we might be back up there!!!!!!..SmileySmileySmileySmiley

    Fabulous! 

    is the Roma still in your garage? If so, how long do you plan to keep it considering your incoming.?

    The Roma is gone, a good car with plenty of power for reality, but without the pizzazz of the sporting Ferraris.

    This is very interestingly opined car. And looks good !  kiss But best of all, the signature, worth 10 s on the Ring smiley


    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    Are the stripes blue or is that one picture just showing a weird reflection?

    If you look at the option list above - Blu America.  Colour varies with light and shadow almost to black.

    Haha Eric,

    With those 10 seconds, I'll only be 25 s slower than youSmiley Of course I'd do better than my poor signature gentleman at the Spanish Grand Prix whose Ferrari motor sadly, most depressingly let him down.  He's my co driver so when he comes to the ring with me you better watch out!Smiley
