I'm thinking red, the yellow car already rides on the 16" Etoiles....they had gold in them too I reshot it silver centers, and it looks pretty good.. The blue one is stranded .....over in Austin, needing $10K for a clutch and major service!
Those on the red car were powdered coated and looked nice "for awhile" but I have hit enough curbs, they are all due for some love.... I blame the women drivers....LOL! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Certainly not. The 308 came in the GTB, Gran Turismo Berlinetta, with the solid top, and the GTS, Gran Turismo Saratoga (NOT "Sport"), with the removable "Targa-" type roof. The presence of a sunroof (as well as the gasoline filler door) is one of the obvious indications of a 308 "replica," usually built on a Pontiac Fiero frame. The GTO, which outwardly appears similar to the GTB, was actually a very different animal: The body panels were aluminum and Kevlar, the wheelbase was longer, and the engine was longitudinally mounted, with twin IHI turbochargers. The GTO was a unique car in its own right and should not be considered as part of the 308 series. The 308 cars, while not "fast" by today's standards, are true iconic Ferraris, which many (including me) consider the most beautiful car of all time - Ferrari or other. It is not possible to "turn a 308 into a GTO," as one poster announced his intention of doing. The wheelbase on the 308, as I mentioned, is too short, so with the more muscular body of the GTO, it looks too tall in proportion to the car's length. The rear vent windows and the rear deck are also entirely different. Most of all, turning the engine 90 degrees is an extremely difficult and expensive proposition (though I know of at least one case in which it was done.) I feel very strongly that 308s must be respected and cherished for what they are, and that it is nothing short of a travesty to turn any genuine Ferrari into a kit car.

"What is the passenger trying to do? " It seems to be more than one passenger in that seat, she is probably sitting in som ones lap. Still, if she is trying to do something i don´t know what it is!
I've used up my quota of photographs here on F-Chat, but here are a few photos of my beloved silver 308 GTB: http://s280.photobucket.com/albums/kk185/racedriver308/My%20308/?albumview=slideshow
