Ahh, that explains it.  Late Sunday afternoon I was out in a farmer's field
north of Waller helping retrieve a sailplane that had landed out when a pack
of four Ferraris came zipping 'round the bend.  There was a Testarossa and a
512 and I'm not sure what the other two were.  One of the guys I was with was
driving a Porsche 928.  I kidded him about having been one-upped.  I made a
mental note to check out that road in the direction they came from when I get
a chance :).  I wondered if something special was going on or if they were
just enjoying the backroads like we do.  Apparently both.  I also noted that
one of them had a taillight out.  Now if that isn't begging to get pulled
over by a Johnny Law, I don't know what is.
