Default My Ferrari Feels Flaccid

Quote of the day...

We just had one of our customers drive his car here to our shop. He stepped out, took off his helmet (winter time here) and with a HUGE GRIN and exclaimed,

"My Ferrari Feels Flaccid!"

***EDIT*** I can see I need to explain this a little better...he was driving his Kirkham in the winter--not his new 430 Ferrari.

(He owns a new 430).

Reminds us all of why we own these beasts.

I'm trying to figure out why the owner would be wearing a helmet in an F430, unless Ferrari started making bicycles that I'm not aware of. Or may be it was a go-kart?

He drove up in the Kirkham (wearing a helmet I would guess) and after comparing the performance level to his Ferrari, well, we all know the outcome there. Ferraris are flacid...

Good story David.

Hey, ANY day is a GOOD day to drive a Kirkham! I know it puts a grin on my face every time I am behind the wheel.

David K.:

I can hardly wait to see the gentleman in question again. Man, is he going to take some guff over this! Flaccid, indeed.

On some tracks, even in coupes, you HAVE to wear a helmet! Shame, but there you go!
