stopped by an old friends house today to see his new miata [don't ask] and he had his 1965 ferrari 275 gts out in the driveway for a bit of airing out.. as i sat in the nicely worn leather drivers seat,gripping the willowy nardi wheel and fingering the alloy shift knob[noting the massive exposed shift gate] i was suddenly cruising the italian coastline with a jackie kennedy clone beside me....sighting down the long,long hood and listening to the snarl of the weber loaded v12...jeezus what a sweet thing!!!he promised me a ride as soon as he has the clutch sorted ...[a typical dual plate italian unit, most suited for a gorilla to operate]..i'm ready!..when i got home i jumped in the s2k,grabbed the wheel,looked around, and...well, it came up a bit short.damn those italians!!!!

btw...you want pipes? this thing has four drainpipes sticking easily a foot beyond the rear bumper...woohoo!
