New BDR owner from Italy

[madmaxx]

I visited Rome a couple years back. I took a cab ride, he entered the opposite lane, cutting individuals off, it was scary to say the least, yet everyone seams to do it and they all mesh. He kept saying it's ok and laughing!!!

I will never forget Ferraris and other exotics getting pushed back and forth while people parallel parked in Paris and it appeared to be an accepted practice.

Paolo,
I checked your gallery and Backdraft 435 has a strong resemblence to my BDR 473, Titanium with Black stripes. Is it the same colors? In many photos, titanium takes on a yellow tint that is indicative of titanium metal in many cases. Check my gallery. I picked up my car from Boyton Beach in May 2007 and have 1260 miles on it now. The engines also have some similarities. What are the details? Best regards and enjoy a great car.

William, I checked your gallery and was very difficult for me to find something different than in my car. The build seems really the same... My engine is a 351W rated at 435hp while the trans is a TKO600. The only exterior difference could be the oil cooler tubes on the front radiator side of my car.

At moment I'm waiting for the registration process ending, so I've not yet driven it.

The engine seems very affordable. It started at first try after about 2 months of stop due to shipping/import process.

Bye,
Paolo.
