Re: [VintageLambo] Ferraris vs. Lambos

Jack Riddell

Hi Steve, I don"t know that either one of them cares a whit about our opinions and they probably aren"t legally bound to reveal their associations with other makes of cars or related industries. I think what is important is that we continue on lists like this one to counter-balance some of what is reported in his and other magazines. Remember the article about Brian"s 400GT Interim (the one that said is was actually a 350 - totally bogus story!). The truth made it to this site in no time. That is another one of the great values of lists like this one. I plan to make it to the San Antonio Winery next month. The only thing I am waiting on is for my machine shop to finish re-manufacturing my emergency brake lever. Mine was completely shot, so he used it and a drawing from my manual to virtually recreate one for my car (much stronger than the original, with chrome moly plate). After I install that, I will take the car to my friendly muffler shop and have the new stainless exhaust system installed. It is all flow-through, so the exhaust note might not be as "civilized" as it used to be.

Being a subscriber to SCM for a number of years, i must say, in thinking about it, i don"t know that Mr. Sheehan has ever disclosed his personal business in any of his columns. It would certainly gives the reader a better understanding of statements and positions he takes in his articles. And i"m sure its not just Michael, i bet others have day to day jobs in automobile related industries. The only disclosure i found in the latest issue was from the Legal files and the attorney"s brief disclaimer about being a collector in Oregon and to consult your own attorney for an individual"s problem. P.S. Will we be seeing you at the San Antonio Winery in March?
