Max,

Years ago a guy called and asked if I could build a rally computer for the Italian Mille Miglia. I agreed and when it was ready, I invited him to run in a local rally to test the clock in his car before shipping it (the car) to Italy. He agreed and on rally day, he came by my house to pick me up. When I walked outside, this is what I saw.

It was a 1951 Ferrari 212 Vignali, easily worth $300K. I felt strange sitting in the left seat without a steering wheel, but the glorious sound from the V12 engine was shear music. Steve is quite a driver, too. He slid the narrow tires around many a tight curve on the mountain roads. As the miles past, the car seemed to run better and smoother. Steve said the engine was breaking in after a rebuild.

It's funny, I am used to getting looks and thumbs up and comments in the Cobra. In the Ferrari, people just stare. I don't think he was really impressed with the $5 trophy we won, but it was a day I'll remember forever.......
