Back from Ct.
I saw the car , at the body shop , George started it up and ran it for a few minutes . In all hon3esty it will be the end of the month before I get the car as Nick G has to get the ECU back to him in Florida and do some adjustments as the car is running a little rich.Then he will have to fly up to do the final tune.George just hired a new person , his name is George also , that has been a mater technician for different Ferrari dealerships for a total of 18 years .George is going to be the one that makes the final details to my car and that makes me feel comfortable as he is real picky and anal. I shot some video and a couple of pictures of the car.

Hey David,

Nice pictures! The exhaust video loaded, but couldn't get to the second video for some reason. I hear the sweet sound of a T-Trim...
