Barbara’s Christmas was not all she had hoped since 7 or 8 of you did not send the USD 50,000, or JPY 5,554,000, or BP 24,336 or EUR 35,677 each needed to buy her the Ferrari 599 (See earlier post below). You have a chance to be redeemed – she also likes this model which just showed up on the Park Avenue display floor. Same number of donors, and same amount each will do it.

Hasn't Barbara got furry ears?

Stuart,

You're asking too much, but that's a really nice car magnificently captured.
IMO, the bear's ears add a nice touch too.

Andy - Actually, Barbara has the full set of 14 colors of clip-on bear ears, so I think it's time to move on to the 430 Scuderia.

Ivan - Thank you, but we can hope.

Stuart,

Something tells me that Barbara is not going to drive it if all the donations start pouring in ...

Marco -

Oh, she'll drive it if it has the F1 transmission (which I think is the only way it comes as the Scuderia) AND she'll be kind enough to let me drive it, too. Problem is, all 350 for 2008 coming to the US are spoken for.

Wish that one of the ' spoken for ' was mine

Looks a bit like a Hyundai Coupe doesn't it.

That's what I like about Steve: down to earth. Mazda, Ferrari, all look the same. And in a way he's right. i mean you CAN get a red Mazda

Steve: no intention of "dissing" you!

No problem at all Marco, my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I made the original comment <grin>.
