M. Bayer in Cavallino

Our own Michael Bayer has a nice letter in the most recent issue of Cavallino. Mike points out an oversight and the powers that be have agreed to correct the errors of thier ways .Good job Mike! Lets hope that Mike will continue to be our friend as he scales new heights in the Ferrari kingdom. Mike M

Come on Tom S, you are going to ruin the game by just giving the ad price right off. What about all the give and take ,back and forth , the lies and deception we all love so much. I also was lead to believe that the DMV required a PPI prior to any Ferrari purchase. You really are quite the rebel ! M...

Zac, do you need to take certain precautions to avoid racking the body out of square while on the rotisseri or is that not a concern . Perhaps with a roadster? Just wondering. Mike
