Thanks for all the great replies. Dirk, I can't say I'm sorry. For you Tennessee guys, email me our phone numbers and I'll set up an event.

Several asked on the wheels- they are 16 inch chrome speedlines.

Hate to bring the mood down, but I'm the poor guy who let this one go. Congrats to Lee, but I miss her already. Can I come visit her?

Reading this thread is like seeing your ex-girlfriend in the new Victoria Secret catalog.

Should East Tennessee Ferrari-owners plan some get togethers? I'm awaiting the sale of our house in Washington so I can bring our TR out to our new house in Kingston (once we close). I hope to have it out here (sorry, I still think I live on the west coast) in May. Anybody doing anything for the Italian events planned as part of the Dogwood Festival???

Best-
Steve

Wait a minute. My name is Lee. I live in East Tennessee. I just got a 308 GTS. Eerie!

Congrats, Lee! Black is such a stunning color on these cars, and I love the wheels! What size are they?

We should take our 308's up to the Smokies or Big South Fork sometime and freak the locals out! Or Deal's Gap...how many curves is that?

Oh, and thanks...after 4 months on this site, your site finally told me what Tifosi means!

Good God...I just saw your Cobra. Awesome!

Another very nice day here in Germany!
Guess I will do as Ton proposes and drive around a bit! Wish I could put my top down :-)
Ton,
How about a long term swap of cars just for the summer? :-)

Lee,
Congratulation on your 308! Really looks to be in a very good shape. Nice commentary by the way. If you love cars I guess you will never ever regret to have bought a Ferrari...



Con saluti cordialissimi,

I bought a fellow ferrarichatter's 308GTS this past Sunday, and I'd giddy! Its my first Ferrari. I've been on Ferrarichat for more than a year. I know I not saying anything new, and am really just eating up ferrarichat's bandwidth. But... its one of those "dance in the streets" moments for me.
Here's a pic:
