Thank you!!
To be able to drive the car worth so much with the duty it deserves is pure delight, and smile worthy...

oh my gawd, that sound. That's a very pretty piece of art. I love how long the gears are or was it that he didn't pin the pedal to the floor?

For those who love the sounds as much as the sights check out the Victory By Design series with Alain De Cadenet. The Ferrari and Maserati episodes in particular are really good.

The first event I worked with the SCCA was the 2011 Historics at Laguna Seca. I was blown away by the cars at the event. Couldn't believe it when this happened. 20 Ferrari 250 GTOs

Ferrari seating has always been interesting. Pedals close and steering wheel at least arm's length. Notice the driver's right knee. Me being somewhat short waisted and at 6' would see me bent in the same way.
Alas, no difference in the early Boxster except the steering wheel is somewhat adjustable. in length. |

Both legs splayed out and his knees are practically in the dashboard.

I really appreciate the driver's side windshield wiper giving us a visual speedometer.
