    Is Forristall's still in business? I used to see ads for them all over. I seem to remember several ads for them in the FML in the 1980s.

    Your car ran in the Ferrari 60th Anniversary Rally? From where to where? Don't lose those decals!

    It was only a short distance in Denmark - about 90 Danish Ferraris was in this rally, and the rally was compelted in the afternoon when about 60 Ferraris from Sweden join us on a little island between Denmark and Sweden called Peberholmen - the biggest Ferrari Event ever in Denmark

    The tyres is from 1988 - I found my Dino at the "Old Timer Grand Prix" in Núrburgring in Germany in August 1988 - the same day Enzo Ferrari died.
    I only drive between 5 - 10 times in my Dino a year.

    WELCOME!!!

    Great car.

    Time for new tires!!

    20 year old rubber is a great formula for disaster.

    Again, welcome.

    The tipoff was that Goodyear has not made high speed tires in 205/70 for ages. I know, I used to have some. They were great on the track and I wore them out in two years. I tried to get more and they were out of production.

    Definitely replace them - old rubber is an recipe for an expensive disaster.

    I've had Goodyears and find they are overly lively in bump steer and in worn road troughs.
    The new Vredsteins are quite good.
