- I have a good job, a lovely apartment, I go out with very nice men to the best places; the theatre, finest restaurants… [_exasperated_]What am I missing? [

But our last lap… we clocked 218 miles an hour down the Mulsanne Straight. Now, in all his years of racing… old Enzo ain’t never seen anything move that fast. And now he knows, without a doubt, we’re faster than he is. Even with the wrong driver… and all the committees. And that’s what he’s thinking about while he’s sitting in Modena, Italy, right now. That man is scared to death.

Oh, but not all the love stories of France begin in Paris. Oh, no, no, no, no. There was one, for example, a quite unusual one that began in the hot sun-drenched region in the south of France in the province known as Provence.

For fifty weeks of the year, Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a small corner of tropical heaven, basking contentedly in the warm sun. During the other two weeks, as colleges all over the country disgorge their students for Easter vacation, a change comes over the scene. The students swarm to these peaceful shores in droves, twenty thousand strong. They turn night into day, and a small corner of heaven into a sizeable chunk of bedlam. The boys come to soak up the sun, and a few carloads of beer. The girls come, very simply, because this is where the boys are.
