Holy crap!!
An S-Fest with 3 Prancing Horses including a Lusso? In Denver you won't
usually see a Lusso out at a Ferrari meet let alone another marque.

Sure...  why not???  Heh heh heh...

Ah yes, the '63 250GTL Lusso.  24k miles, original (mint) interior.  98
point car.  One of ~ 330 imported '62-'63.

I for once exercised better judgment and spared the list of my
"whoooooooooaaaamygawwwwwwwwwd!!!!!!!" report after I flogged her for 40
miles last month.  Figured there was no measurable Audi content as the owner
Bob only seems to own Ferrari's...  oh, and a 996tt (his beater / commuter
he says, in shop during //SFest unfortunately).  Since that's AWD, I guess
that's close enough for a report...

Best description of that car...  catch the Alain DeCadenet - Victory By
Design series on the Ferrari marque somewhere (Speedvision) sometime (all of
us owe it to ourselves to catch each one of those really).  While a Lusso is
not specifically featured, damn does that show do SUCH good justice to what
those Weber'd V12's sound like.  

Not only at idle / rev, but wow under full load full 6,500rpm.
_OH_MY_FREAKING_GAWSH_.  The hair on my neck stood on end repeatedly during
the adventure, esp. once up on cam an past 4k...  actually I'm getting
goosebumps & T.H.O.'S just now from the mere thought.  Nearly as special as
sitting in one of the ~ 35 priceless 250GTO's @ LRP last month...

I digress...  sorry... couldn't resist 8-).  Anyone who wants a bunch of
detailed pics and / or some quick vid (large files) shoot me an email.

-Paul NAC'd you all with F355 Spider and GT2 reports in the past don't want
to sicken you further with F550M and 250GTL reports now K.
