AJ, found these in my phone. They're pictures from Keels and Wheels back in 2011. Is this your car?

I was literally JUST thinking about taking the kids to Keels and Wheels. I believe it's next weekend. You going, Dave?

I'll be hooning around Big Bend next week so unfortunetely will miss the show, which I love.

Hot rumour for next year's KnW is that it will include vintage races: i believe the plan is to use the vast open parking facilities of NASA just down the road, and run a full complement of vintage classes. Hope my engine builder has finally finished the motor for the GT350R by then!

This is my all-time favorite Italian! Congratulations!!!

Not my car, but similar. This KnW car in your pics is a Miura S. My car is an earlier P400. My car has been upgraded to S spec brakes and the motor is rebuilt SV spec now.

So you're saying these cars are actually as common as dirt?

Actually, about as common as the new Ford GT!

Frankie and his nephew came up to DFW for the Ferrari dealership concorso. I crashed the party with the pistachio machine. Nice visit and thanks for the pic Dr. Frank,

Please note the headlights are up. Be glad I didn't send your wife the pics with all the women.

I traded one of my vintage V12 Ferrari's in a private deal for this iconic 2 seater. This car won best in show at Concorso Italiano in the early 2000's. It was best Lambo there 3 times. 4000 hr. restoration over 3.5 years. The restoration has held up well over the last decade. The paint is immaculate. It's a 1967 P400 but has upgraded S spec suspension and brakes, and has a split sump conversion of the matching numbers motor to SV specs. This car evokes the same emotions as a FGT or CGT. The engine note is visceral. One can see the design elements of the GT40 that were used by Gandini at Bertone.

Miura is a beauty, Congratulations. I would however say that the Duesenburg was the 1st Supercar.

Nice morning drive down the PCH. Went to Big Sur. Doubled back and crashed the soirée at Casa Ferrari. Ran into fellow FGTForum members John Gourley and Tom Turner. Then on to Carmel to see the Tour cars at lunch.

When I was working at Brown and Root in Houston there was an oil tool salesman that used to visit my office periodically. He usually came in his dark blue Lusso, beautiful to see and so awesome that he actually drove it
