the good news I can drive my car again! The bad news is I can't use the power key. I think I've tracked the problem down finally. Should have it fixed in a few weeks

the other good news is I remembered how much I love driving this car...would have been nice to be able to run with my buddies Testarossa though

BTDT x2! So, I feel your pain!

I lost an entire driving season while porting the heads and repairing a burnt valve. That was the bad news. The good news came indirectly by way of an oversight boo-boo by the shop doing the valve job: It lead to an article for the HOTB regarding verifying necessary pre-loading dimensions for the lifters.

Then there was last year's cockpit error just over a year ago resulting in my little crash. The bad new is I didn't have the car repaired until almost a year later. The good news was, at precisely 10:30 AM on May 10th this year, the car was fixed. 15 minutes later, Ami and I were on the road on our way to the Mountain Run 2! (Everyone needs to put the Mountain Run on their "BUCKET LIST"!)

Glad your Z is on the road. Like Pete told me once when I was getting depressed about the car being down: "Once you have it all together and you whack that throttle the first time, you'll forget about all the troubles it took to get you there!" He was SOOOO right about that!

While the Rossa is a very beautiful car there is no aspect of it that will compete with the ZR-1. Okay the 12 cyl exhaust note of the rossa is awesome.

the sensations the car sends to you, sound, the feel of the wheel flexing in your hands as you drive, the sound of the shifter pinging as you shift. I actually like his 328 more
