To get the steering moving! Martin (Miami348ts) Intermediate Member Username: Miami348ts Post Number: 1993 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 9:11 am:    What a beauty. This is a great color! Awesome car! ONce a week until operating temps. Just tell her to drive it around the block. Ah, wait, you probably do not have tags. Darn it!

Starting the car and letting it run for 5 minutes probably does more damage that not starting it at all as a result of condensation that needs to dried out and fluids that need to get up to temp....Norm Andrew (Mrrou) Junior Member Username: Mrrou Post Number: 218 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:29 pm:    id stay start it up about 3 times a week..maybe let ur wife drive it for a day or 2 each week..should keep it fine Dane Sander (Dane_sander) New member Username: Dane_sander Post Number: 8 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 9:59 pm:    Hi folks, I just purchased my first Ferrari (and a long-time coming), a 1977 308GTB w/25,466M. Unfortunately, it's going to be in VA and I'm in Hawaii until 5 Sep 02. My wife will be with the car (not as a daily driver) and is plenty competent mechanically; she's an assault helicopter pilot. We're storing it in a 10' by 20' "locker" with Shurgard and would like to gather some advice for the storage. How often should she run it? Good starting and warming procedures? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Dane
