Dutch spot

How's that, I spotted myself on Instagram today. I think I recall this drive, it was a few weeks back when I got it out again for the first time this year. Just a short check drive, of course all was fine. The next weekend I drove it to the 400 meeting.

Enthusiasts Say This Ferrari Is the Ugliest and Worst: They’re Wrong!

An article that was published last week but only caught my radar by today. A surprising article nevertheless. I never realized it's the last Ferrari model having a tubular chassis.

Japan Car Magazine 348 - FUN and REAL : Maserati Indy 4900, Ferrari 400i, Aston Martin V8 Vantage

I spotted this magazine on Ebay but it's a bit pricey and the shipping costs too:

 I'm hoping one of the Japanese readers can provide me a digital scan (and a English translation).
