It seems that my T/O bearing, or something related to the pressure plate/flywheel went out the day before the show. On the way back from the upholsterer, with the car all cleaned up, it started making a horriffic noise, sort of a loose fan belt from hell chatter, changing in pitch when I depressed the clutch. Some smoke from under the hood convinced me to pull over and call a flatbed. She would not even start later (ring gear?).
I will not be at the Concorso, so now you all are gonna think that I am the same idiot posting under badly faked aliases, and that I have no Ferrari at all. Until the next show, that is...
I could trailer it, but I happen to think that it would be lame.
As dissapointing as this is, this will be an opportunity to work out all the bugs before the next big trip, and to lighten my wallet further.
