Last time I was in Milano, I was working a deal on a CSL &quot;Bat&quot; Car, but prices have moved a bit on those cars.

Your not going to be very comfortable in many of the Ferrari

Stefano -

Gorgeous car, but CSL's are a different breed altogether and well out of my price range. An E9 would make more sense if we head to Germany for our next tour although they may be more expensive there. Was surprised to see that folks were buying 633's and 635's in the U.S. and shipping them to Germany to sell; they're more affordable stateside.

As for the interior size, good point. I have done some research and looks like I will fit in a 208/308 GT4, but not the later 308 GTB/GTS, which are out of my price range, anyway. I should be able to fit in a 348, too, but these don't really fire me up, and start out at $30k. For those not familiar with the 308 GT4, designed by Bertone, click here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_GT4 - they're not the same car as the Pininfarina styled 308 GTB/GTS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_308_GTB/GTS

Will keep y'all posted. Working on renting a house now. Was worried about finding something with a decent garage, but we've managed to find several with large basement garages (easily fit 2 cars + a LOT of tools) within a few miles of work.

Once we nail down the house I can shift my focus to the car search. One bit of bad news -- appears that I/we can only have three vehicle registrations while I'm here. Already have one pending on the 99 318i beater that I picked up, next will be the wife's SUV, which is on it's way here from Korea. And that leaves one more for my play car. Only way you get another registration is if you have written permission, and that's usually only if one of your cars was stolen or totaled. So I may be up sh*t creek without a paddle when that barn find Iso Griffo shows up for $5,000...
