    seriously, though, how many times have you driven the 308 in the wet since the work was done....and over how many years? i don't remember when it was done.

    When does FF get his ban revoked. Surely enough is enough. Irrespective of peoples personal opinions, removing someone with his wealth of knowledge from this discussion forum isn't right.

    Between him and his Dad they have spent a lot of time under the hoods of some of the Worlds best.

    Anyone heard from Phil lately. I been needing him to do the SRF flush and braided lines on the Testa.

    I think he *may* be in a position to return now.The question is does he want to?

    I agree 100%, its silly not to have on hand a person who works on said vehicles on a daily basis.That type of knowledge you cannot buy, if others here dont like his workshop, dont go, pretty simple really.

    When i had a RR [Thats RangeRover NOT the other *British* one] i learned more from the RR Club than all the dealers in Melb. combined, only dealer in Vic. with any brains or know how was/is Les Richmond's in Thomastown, all the others are thieves and frankly have NFI!

    Looking foward to FF's return

    Ciao

    I think there might be a few cars around like that from web shots that I have seen. The wheels look like they have been ball polished rather than chromed?

    I am going to have a small update on mine soon, annual service with some more renovation.

    Cool cool. I had to recharge a fire suppression system today at work, on an Atlas Copco drill rig. :rolleyes: Operator came over and said the gauge is reading low and needs more nitrogen to charge the system back up to specs. As soon as I put the charging chuck on the valve, the whole system discharged.........doh!! :(:( I had to refill the entire system again and add the foaming solution into the 45L bottle. I then charged the system back to 1200kpa. No worries this time because I replaced the faulty charging valve, so this wont happen again. Took me all of 1 hour. :)

    That was pretty much all I did today too............:eek::eek:

    yeah, i recall reading in the F50 tech manual something about ensuring the longevity of Ferrari service centres by having it serviced every 100km

    What a ridiculous comment. Read the service manual of ANY exotic and it will indicate an annual service regardless of mileage. Do a bit of research and see what happens when a car sits for 10yrs without use.

    Your under handed digs at Phil are quite tiresome.
    Further work was requested by ME !
