here is another msft employee and ferrari fan: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9971066-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-5 :) I think I gave him his ID card / dashplacard at the Ferrari Nationals the other year. I made sure I walked backwards after I did so...Nothing but respect for that so...

Being Polish....I might bring the GTE back to the old hood one day...A continental rally would be cool with my kids. Economy in Poland is doing really well, but we also have the dubious distinction of the highest per capita road fatality rate in the EU. I will wait until some more high speed roads a...

last two sold at auction for over $200K (UK-see Keith Martin's mag), so it might not be that silly. Although the market has slowed down a little bit, so that could have been the top for a very nice car... I am keeping my GTE, as I did not take on a mortgage I could not afford, and locked it at a goo...

not my car, looks to belong to a CT dealer, but trend spotters might be interested in checking it out:

Looks to be a pretty straight driver, but with no tools or books.

Change of plans ! I just got a letter from a luxury vacation resort in Carmel. The offer was a 2 night stay at an alluring $119 each, and I get a $100 gift cert for any restaurant after I attend the 1 hour presentation. That is exactly how I went to Hawaii a couple of years ago (I did not like the t...

I have a picture from Quail...In the background is my car and a couple of empty chairs....in the foreground...my kids making a pyramid out of empty martini glasses (about 18 of them!). The parents are nowhere to be seen....That was my spa experience a few years ago. PS. Kids are trained not to touch...

Regrettably...I will not be coming this year. Kinda burnt out and I just spent my "car event" budget on Formula 1 tickets and travel (Montreal). I am making a resolution to instead drive my GTE more often. Wife and I talked about staging our own private rally...on the way to a spa in Utah. I have be...

.....when my kids are off to college...I am getting a little more life insurance and purchasing a Ducati....!!!! I will drive across the country, or something stupid like that, perhaps recreating one of Peter Egan's stories from the Leanings book. I do like Testarossas, but I am mostly bummed that I...

Happy birthday, Tom ! All the best and congrats on the accomplishments so far. The second forty will fly twice as fast, now that you have a fam and a completed resto ! I reached the same, ahem...milestone this summer. Instead of a celebration I went for an age defying bike ride (100 miles in the hil...

1. Minor issues will turn out to be: windows, major service, parking lot crasheroo, title in someone else's name....
2. Or You will get an e-mail back asking to use an escrow service and pre-wire the cost of shipping from Volgaria.

Merry XMas and Happy Holidays everyone.

I regret every car I have ever sold. I regret every girlfriend I ever broke up with. There was something cool about every job, even bartending.... Keep the car, Tom. Once you get out, you might not be able to get back in (unexpected circumstances, family, work, other priority shifts...) I have thoug...

It is not mine, but I thought it would be fun for the others to follow the price, and where it ends up...

I am making a day trip on Friday. I signed up to be a volunteer at Concorso, and I will set off from the house around 4.30am. A free shirt, and not having to pay $100 is worth it, not to mention that I like driving to meet the sunrise. Gotta clear the deposits in that Maserati V8, too. The Ferrari n...

Mea culpa. I bought 4 from ebay, kept one, and selling the remaining 3 (only needed one). While on the topic of things for sale...Did you guys see the prototype GTE for sale at Fantasy Junction? I was just there, so this one is brand new. It looks like a decent driver. In black...it would be easy to...

Unless a cheap room turns up.....I might be staying out this year, for the first time in 10 years. I am oversubscribed this summer with other car events, family, business, and a recent volunteer gig... The events have also become the victims of their own success. I tend to get stuck in traffic jams,...
