A Whale of a Tale

[fest]

as an Italian (OK 1/2 Itatalian, but my better half just ask my Mom)
I take great umbrage to the contention
that the lubrication used on the 400i Window Gearbox
was substandard simply because of it's Italian origin

Sperm Whale Oil indeed!

I have it on great authority
that per Enzo's personal edict
only the Finest Tuscan Extra Virgin OLIVE OIL
was used to lubricate the window motor gear boxes

Wow, if it does the same thing to your arteries as it does to the window mechanism I'm never touching the stuff again :D

hey Art -

thanks for wondering about me...

we have been investing in Real Estate of late
and just can't seem to swing the 'toy' as yet

just had to pass up on a Mondial
which sold for $13.5;
very painful letting THAT one go, believe me
car was bought by a friend (who I passed it on to)
and it has turned out to be a pretty good car, actually

plan is to purchase Ferrari in a 'couple' years
(but man the wait is KILLING ME)

Did you see the 400 5-speed that sold for $11+K on ebay about a month ago? It seemed right up your alley.

Hopefully passion will overcome reason soon.

Art You need to alert the group when such deals materialize. Someone here is always looking for another project! M

Speaking of whale tales, there is an interesting Queen on ebay. A tad shoddy yet appears unmolested and fixable. I have a soft spot for these neglected troopers. Too nice means not driven. By the way, I really appreciated the soiled shots of Tom's car. That's the spirit! Besides, it'll all clean up anyways.
