Thanks to all of you for the replies!
Sorry Chuck, I didn't mean to scare you!
And to Joelafives;
As much as I like 289 FIA's I'm not married to the idea of owning only a FIA. As nice as this one may be, the bidding is rapidly approaching a figure where the car competes head-on with LOTS of other nice cars.
If you're REALLY interested in the car tell me. I'll cheerfully pull the plug. Currently there are a lot of ringside seats at the rodeo. If I don't get this one, honestly it's no big whoop. I'll find me another.
Best regards,
Doug
