Good story 240dog.

I sold Fiats around 1980, had a Triumph TR6, ... hmm, do I know you LOL.

The spyders especially (now a 2liter twin-cam) would carbon up, piss all over the spark plugs and stuff, and basically wouldn't start/run well after sitting. The GM knew that I could get them to run properly, toss me a set of keys and off I'd go, down the beltline with it floored until it cleared up.

Would sometimes be kind of funny to bring them back with the undercoating smoking.

Sorry for getting off tracked, I just had a realization that in one of my favorite movies – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off… The Ferrari in the movie actually benefited from the joy ride the parking attendants gave it!

Movie Quotes..
Cameron Frye: “The 1961 Ferrari, two-fifty GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion . . .”
Ferris Bueller: “It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.”

Nah, the Ferrari in FBDO didn't benefit from catching air in slow-mo... that was prolly hard on the suspension... but a good run thru the gears catching some revs and engine load, that's fine. Every car I've ever owned has been ran to redline at least weekly. Heck, the Audi probably exceeds 100MPH 3-4 times/wk...

Oh, and I'm Italian, that term is far from offensive, IMO...
