The CS pops another Ferrari Cherry!
I seem to be becoming the official AZ Ferrari de-Flowerer of late.
This past weekend there was a group drive, involving several car clubs that involved one of my favorite Arizona roads. My object was to make as short a work as possible of the mountain switchbacks.... and the group for that matter!
In AZ we have a group of guys that we call the 'car-parazzi', as they seem to be at allot of car events with snapping cameras always at the ready.
Over the week leading up to the drive I got a PM from one of these exotic fans, asking if I had an open seat. He is one of the biggest posters on this site... I think somewhere over 18K posts, which boggles my mind!
As he takes his place in my right seat, somehow it came out (to my surprise), that with all his enthusiasm for Ferrari... for all his participation in this site, he had never been in a Ferrari! Another first!
Fortunately, he got to experience the CS and all its visceralness as his first Ferrari experience. He did let on that the 355 is #1 on his wish list. Hopefully, this drive put that goal a little further up his life's list.

That's awesome! It's things like this that keep the passion for these cars alive. Not everyone is able to afford a F car but by you taking the time to offer a ride will probably be instilled in his mind forever. I know my first ride will be
Props to you for sharing the passion!

Most massive posters on fchzt don't have a Ferrari or have a 308. Anyone over 10k posts anyway. Some large posters have several but the talkers arent the drivers.
