Right now, this article is a series of stubs. It's need to be expanded. I removed the stub tag though. --Woohookitty 06:16, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. This was such an important line, and lasted for so long with so many variations, I could see it exploding into a dozen articles with proper content. I'll continue to work on expanding it. --SFoskett 13:08, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
And I keep on working on it. There are a multitude of 250 cars, some sharing very little with others... --SFoskett 19:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - three mentions?

Is it necessary to mention three times that a replica of the 250 California Spyder appeared in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Was it a replica of the SWB or the LWB? The mention should be removed from the section describing whichever one it was not a replica of. Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 01:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Cantle! Much appreciatied! Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 14:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The MM stands for Mille Miglia, folks!

Someone with more zeal for SI than for general understanding had decided that the 250 MM designation of the Ferrari 250 MM (Mille Miglia) model really meant two hundred and fifty millimetres and changed the designations accordingly. This went so far as someone setting up conversions for this mythical "250 mm" length.

Will editors note in future that the use of 250 MM in this context is the model designation for that particular Ferrari 250 and that it is not a badly formatted statement of length?

Thank you.
