He looked over and recognised me, (we used to be neighbors and he's a very friendly guy), and said something like, "we Italian car guys need to stick together". He then showed me the car and we sat and shot the bull, (yes, intended), about cars and his show. He was on his way home from work and just had to have some Mulberry St. pizza, me too. He told me to drive fast home and watch his show because Sean Penn was the guest and it was really good. I did.
That was a sweet summer night.

Denis - Cool story! He has two now. I was lucky to tour his collection in Burbank a few years ago and we spent a fair but of time talking Miuras....it is probably the few cars that I would sell everything I own to buy.
