Bravo, meraviglioso!

I met Michael at his in-laws house, and us being two car guys, one thing led to another...super nice guy. Turned out he had read some of my articles on the pelicanparts site.

Hey Bobby-

Glad you liked the car, and great pics! It was sadly sold to a new owner in Flordia, but a incredible 599GTB took its place. For all wondering, the pads under the tires are to keep tire dressing off the floor, and they also help hot tires from tearing up the shop floor- Highly recomended for everyone!

Thanks for the pics. I see what you're saying about every option possible. Even comes with the velour seats.

Hi Michael,

Good to hear from you. Do you have any pix of the 599GTB yet? Did it show at the PB Concours? You have probably been quite busy the past few weeks ramping up to that event.

We are off on a Rhine River cruise on the 9th, but we will see Roman and Leslie tomorrow for dinner.

Hope all is well with you guys.

Is that a quilt pattern on the seats? I have had the ferrari bug for over a year now since I drove a 360 spider, I have it pretty bad, and was only able to get rid of it for 1 month back in May!

Bobby,

Imelda, I don't understand that word... Tried to look it up and it says..
Imelda can refer to:

Persons:

Imelda De-Perez[verification needed], a famous Mexican-American teacher. b.1972
Imelda Lambertini, 14th-century Dominican novice
Imelda Marcos, former first lady of the Philippines.
Imelda Staunton, British actress.
Other:

Imelda, Zamboanga Sibugay, a municipality in the Philippines.
Imelda (butterfly), a genus of metalmark butterflies.
Imelda is the 2nd track on the Mark Knopfler 1996 album, Golden Heart.


I am confused...
