Looks like it has been a great year. Hoping 2024 is even better! For myself, I already have a trip planned, RADwood @ Amelia in the NSX. Hopefully I'll get the Ferrari out to some good driving, as well before summer hits.
Beautiful cars indeed! Thanks for sharing. Few people are aware of the responsibility driving a valuable car of a customer. I never had problems except once. I was driving a very basic Alfa Romeo 164 that we had worked on for a lesser minded neighbour back to his house. Imagine: I was Fourty years old, had two kids and I have driven everything from ancient Fiat 500, late Fourties vehicles to heavy trucks and had three different driver's licences. When the guy found out that I had driven his silly old car he nearly flipped out. For a reason completely inexplicable he thought I was not able to drive this car savely. I did drive it less than one mile inside our village! Things like that never happened to me before or ever after. I was driving really valuable classics for customers and sometimes I even even got paid for doing that. I heard a terrible story of a stupid mechanic that wrecked a million $ Ferrari. He had taken it home for the weekend and did drive much to fast and was not able to handle the car! Somehow the car was fixed with tons of effort and labour. This summer I had to source nearly unobtainable car parts in Canada: A mechanic had made a test drive in an old and rare muscle car he had worked on for a customer, did not keep enough distance and hit the guy in front of him. Then the car sat in a body shop for over one year. I was able to source some second hand body parts that no one succeded finding. It took me one week and many, many emails. I think if I had been the owner of this car I might have got more than boiling mad.
Driving my customer cars is an occupational hazard. I'm fortunate to share the experience with YT, but I try my best to be as careful as possible (even when passing!). I don't take the responsibility lightly. I am also fortunate to have good customers who trust me. If that relationship didn't exist, I wouldn't be working on their cars! Thanks for your stories.

I'll be at Ameila Island too. I'll look for your NSX at the Radwood event.
Very cool, will keep an eye out for you.
Love those driving roads! Glad the F40 got to enjoy them... maybe I can one day in the 330!
I'm hoping you'll see a video of your 330 this year!
Happy New Year! Check out the Ferrari flick.
I hope to catch that movie soon. Thanks!

Felice Anno Nuovo dott.
Happy New Year and thanks for watching!
I think you were delayed by the same pickup in two different sequences... :^)
A lot of pick ups in my area, certainly more than Ferraris!
Yea, but that ONE... :^) @@tomyangnet
