Saving one of my FTE wheel raided Ferrari 458's. I dig the black wheels.

Did that 458 come blue? Don't think I've seen a blue one...or did you put Ferrari decals back on after paint?

Last color issue was blue last year with the FTE's. I have tons of them if you want/need one let me know.

They are now being issued in white with red/green strip at the bottom and I think there is another color coming out soon.

I got one of the red/green stripe ones...very Italian. I don't need a blue one really, thanks though. I've really started to curb my variation collecting. Unless it's a car I really love then I have been skipping alt colors and stuff...I'm just running out of space!

Picked this one up yesterday and then got to thinking that Martha needs a team of Lightweights too.

Has Martha set the presedent ?
Shall we see the Gentler Gender, grab the wheel, smash the pedal, and pop the clutch,
while challenging the boys as to who will be the Boss / Bossette ?

I get a Saturday off and it's raining all day!
Lucky for me there were wheels to be changed.

I just had to make Follmer's Trans-Am Mustang "Moore" better (some of you might get this! )

i certainly get the "boss 302" baby !
20 years ago a buddy and i were clipping along on the Maine Turnpike, 70ish, in a fenderless, bossed, duece cabriolet, and he says to me, watch this, jabbs the throttle and broke both rear wheels loose...made it home... but, i never ever sat in that car again ! ! !

Those are some SWEET cars...I need to find me some of them! Was that a mainline Boss? Still need to find me one of those NIssan cars. A trip outside of my neighborhood might be in order.

Thanks! The Mustang is from the "Vintage Racing" series. It's the Trans-Am car built by Bud Moore Engineering and driven by George Follmer. Lots of detail!
