Nice car Jim but can you really fit in it? | ||

By the way Paul355, I am already jealous of you. You see, you have attained the 355 (evolution of the 308/328 series) which is my very next goal, that is if I don't just go right to the 360 first. One thing is for sure, I will keep the 308 for nostalgia's sake, as my very first ferrari. It's sentimental to me already. Besides, I never knew a car could make one feel a similar longing as one's first date with a fine woman. And everytime I get in this car the feeling is back! Verroooom. See ya later everyone, we're bye, bye. | ||

I agree about the tennis shoes. You see, I was simply so anxious to take her for a spin that day I just jumped in with what I had on - alas my sneakers! Getting ready (unfortunately) to put her down for the winter (no snow/salt on this baby, no sir!, not even rain!) Now I have to rely on a Nissan Pathfinder to get me through another NE Ohio Winter! Talk about going from two extremes! Zero acceleration in that Nissan too. Boy, the curse of these ferrari's. If only you could find that kind of acceleration elsewhere! | ||

Beautiful car Jim! I recently purchased an '84 Euro 308 QV (from Paul Prideaux who also responded to your post). I have mine out as much as possible, especially on these fall days! | ||

Why don't you post a photo of yourself and a photo of your car and ask this chat for an opinion? LOL One question: Did you use the hand brake? I guess not. It looks like you are holding back the car :-) Now let's talk seriously. I can not drive my 328 with tennis shoes. Not space enough between pedals.I have to put sailing shoes. | ||

I knew you guys would abuse me some. Actually, the car makes me look good! | ||

James, you sound so honestly enthusiastic about your passion. Beautiful car, welcome to Ferrarichat! The place for true enthusiasts. | ||

Jim, I agree with you SO much. You have a great car ! I too like the Euro front end. I just sold my Euro 1984 308QV last month and I miss it. I like my 355 but I have always thought the 308 is a more elegant car. Have fun ! | ||

Hey wuddaya know, it worked!!! I had my son shoot this on a fine fall day last year. We had just had it out for a nice run in the country with the leaves in our wake, stopped at this park. I have always loved the euro front end-shark-like and aggressive looking - also more room for the prancing horse emblem & fogs! I cannot tell all you guys how much I love this car - it is truly my passion. And the sound of that engine.... AVANTI !!!!!!!!!!! | ||

Ok, I'm going to try this again, if I end up like the 348 below me please, oh please do not make fun of me. Thank you Beddy much!  |
