My Dear Friend,

This is the reason I keep a 35 mm film camera in the glovebox at all times. I would of love to of seen that.

On another note I had a nice guy in a BMW Z8 wave at me the other day. Of course he got a prompt thumb's up from me :smile:
And people wonder why we are fanatic about these cars.

Interesting. Were they all in the same group or was the MCS just having some fun. Maybe the Ferrari mechanic was trailing in the MCS as backup.
Maybe the MCS owner was moving up to a Ferrari and a spouse was driving the MCS?

It's like those commercials where Lance Armstrong is riding around and being trailed by a bunch of people.
