WOW :BE


. . . but first the "back story" . . .

I am a Ferrari Fanatic!

I have been since I was a little boy. My "Matchbox" cars came from England with names like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, etc.

All of this was due to my Grandmother's emigration to the US in 1945 from England. Her influence (British) was felt on many levels, but one that has lasted forever was my appreciation for European automobiles.

To this end, I go to the local Ferrari and Lamborghini dealerships about every 6-8 weeks, just to "browse."

However, I have turned one spare bedroom into what I call my "Exotic Racing Room". I figure this is as close to owning any "exotic" car as I'll ever come! :%


Here's what you'll find in there [see all pics here . . . http://public.fotki.com/dustbuster4/ferrari-model/]

So . . .

CJ sends me a PM several days ago, telling me to keep an eye out for the mail.


Hmmmmmmm . . . wonder what it could be?????? :b:wf


Well . . .

It arrived today . . .

[see all pics here . . . ]http://public.fotki.com/dustbuster4/ferrari-model/]

I am soooo blown away by CJ's generosity, I can't even begin to verbalize it.

A wonderful gift from a great guy!

Thanks, CJ! :c

It's fantastic! I've already sent an e-mail to my Uncle (who's more like my Brother) to show him the Enzo! It's his Mom, that is my Grandmother). He has the same Interest in Cars.

I just love it!

This Enzo will get "center Stage" in the "Exotic Racing Room", without a doubt!

CJ, I cut away the platic straps, and one screw (underneath) that holds the car to it's base, and voila . . . the doors, trunk and hood opened right up!!

The steering ACTUALLY WORKS and turns the front wheels!!!!

I'm going to install a nice RC motor in this and go for a cruise . . . Wanna come along?!?!?! :%:%:%:%:%:%:%

When I saw the lint . . . a dilemma emerged. Should I photo edit the pics and make them look purdy, or share the love of lint! :%:%:%:lol:lol:lol:lol

Thanks . . . there's a few more I didn't take pics of.

Also, my garage is set up like a game room and is full of NASCAR stuff (die-cast cars, posters, pics, signs, etc.)


Here's a few pics . . .
