Martinbo, that was a beautiful story and vivid imaging. I appreciatte your delight in the 911, i too had a similar situation, when the new F430 first arrived, and it had to be one of the first in the US for sure it was about a year (maybe a bit less) ago or so.

My friend delivers highline cars like so from the airports, and delivery docks in NJ, i went with him once and there are rooms where these cars are stored (locked and private). Anyways he was picking up a Bentley Gt or something when in the next room i heard a psychotic, ear piercing sharp sound of an ehaust that sounded familiar, yet unfamiliar. As i open the door to the room next door, sitting there running is a Red Ferrari F430, most beautiful thing to me i had seen. I got to touch it, walk around and view it, and even open the door, when at that moment the security walked in from another entrance and yelled at me for bieng there and told me to leave . Sadly, i did just so, my friend later had told me the car was there for testing and was one of the first in the states.

As much love i have for Ferrari, i had that much more passion that day for it. Maybe its faster or not as fast as its competitors, i dont care, too me there is nothing more exotic, nor more beautiful than the 360/430's, that is my feelings towards that machine, obviously being sucha ferrari lover yourself, once upon a time, im sure you can appreciatte the feeling yourself. Probably just so you feel about the 911.
