"Is that the same GTB that you had at the track?" Yep, the same one. It was bare-metal repainted in Glassurit Silver. We powder coated all the black trim. The new owner refurb'd the bumpers and we replaced the turn lamps and taillights. It's a 10 externally, and the interior currently is being restored. The new owner has since installed 16" OEM wheels. I have regretted selling it, but didn't have the room for all of them. :-| "I think I saw you going down feeder to toll road last week in the euro 308" Nope, wasn't me. Haven't owned the euro 308 for about a year. "How does the Testarossa compare to the 348 overall." Overall, IMHO, I'd say the 348. The TR wins in the crowd appeal and power categories, but the 348 is a better daily car. The TR can't hold a candle to the 348's handling and braking. | ||

Ric...you're one lucky guy -- I love you're collection! It must be hard trying to decide which one to drive on a given day  How does the Testarossa compare to the 348 overall -- just curious -- would love to own an 85 Testarossa one day, but have heard that the 348 was a better choice (?). | ||

Ric, I think I saw you going down feeder to toll road last week in the euro 308. I was in my daily and didn't bother beeping. Nice GTB, Drop me a line I have seen your web site (the old "stables") and would love to see the car. | ||

Ric, Is that the same GTB that you had at the track? I was riding with you when you had the front bank go dead. What a car!!!! It really moved. It looks like it was repainted? Looks great. Jeremy | ||

Awesome collection! Is the pranching horse on the front grill of the 348 standard? | ||
