Can you have a birthday when you have already died ? A memorial day would be more fitting. I salute the Godfather of the Italian supercar non the less. No disrespect intended by the way.

2008 also marks the 50th anniversary of Lotus in F1. They first appeared as a constructor at the Monco GP (http://www.forix.com/8w/lotus.html) where Cliff Allison drove a Lotus 12 to 6th place :s mokin:

Ahem! A Formula 1 Lotus 12 also appeared at the non-championship Daily Express International Trophy meeting two weeks before Monaco.

Enzo - A Legend

To quote the man himself in My Terrible Joys:
I was born in Modena, officially on the 20th February, 1898,although really it was on the 18th: the snow lay so deep that month, so my mother has told me, that it was only possible to get to the Registry Office two days after my birth

To quote the man himself in My Terrible Joys:

Cheers D'

I watched this documentary where he said: "What I enjoy the most is giving sound and shape to raw metal". Also I always loved his idea to keep his "luxury" cars to a bare minimum of......"luxury". No electric powered windows in my cars !!! You don't like it? Get yourself a Toyota, then!! :)

The first race after his death was the Italian GP, in which Ferrari teammates Gerhard Berger and Michele Alboreto managed to honor his memory by providing a 1-2 victory, Ferrari's only win in 1988. Which I found fitting as well as odd, considering how well team McLaren was galloping on.
