Enzo was born on this date in 1898...
His refusal to sell out to Ford was the event that spurred Ford to pursue his defeat, so perhaps we do owe him a debt of gratitude.
He also produced many of the most beautiful cars ever made, and his namesake company continues to occupy a highly regarded position in the world of exotic cars.
I know that for me his 246 Dino was the car that created my first interest in the mid-engine design.
Without Enzo the events that brought about the GT40 and even this forum may never have occurred, so in that respect I say "Cheers to you, Enzo, and I, for one, will tip a glass of limoncello in your honor tonight."
