That record held for more than a decade, until the car culture swept the U.S. Hot-rodders and drag racers built and souped up racers using car engines, piston aircraft engines and, eventually, jet engines. For this determined and dedicated group, the LSR was no longer an honor to be held by rich aristocrats with industrial backing -- it was brought stateside.

Ferrari, the very sound of the name conjures up mental images of exciting and stylish sports cars being driven at great speed - add in the fabulous sound of the V8's exhaust and you are very close to motoring nirvana. With the arrival of the F355 - a descendant from the marvelous little Dino 246 - Ferrari was raising the stakes considerably in their quest for supremacy in their chosen market niche and sales of the F355 and its replacement, the 360 have risen dramatically. Not entirely coincidentally with this rise in popularity of the sports car side of the business has been Ferrari's dominance in the Formula One arena. With these mid-engine sports coupes Ferrari has also embraced new technology with electronic engine management, F1-style paddle shifts on the steering wheel, together with high-technology aluminum frame construction of the chassis all helping to give a storming performance that buyers of these sports car demand.

Wayne Caldwell Simmons

Wayne Simmons leads a charmed life. Still he maintains a relentless, unfulfilled dream?that of owning a truly exceptional hunting dog. At last, the bird dog of his dreams arrives, but instead of greatness and majesty, the man discovers a skinny foundling of questionable pedigree to agonize over. The Story of Jules Verne is a story for dog lovers. It is a true story?the experiences, the characters, even the rocky start of a very special relationship. The story, with paintings and illustrations by the author, recounts a young man's journey with his hunting dog over a ten-year span. In many ways, the book is a compilation of closely related short stories, written in sequence, about an ordinary guy and his "once in a lifetime" hunting dog.
