    Was sorting up some old photos and found this photo of my 308 GT4 from Winton.
    Taken during an AFR meeting 1993(?).
    Hope to find more photo soon.

    I lived in Melbourne 1988-1997.
    Bought the Ferrari 1991 or so.
    Had a great time with it.
    It was sold when I left for the Middle East and Saudi Arabia.
    I am looking for more photos and hope to post them soon.
    Ferrari days, Maserati days at Sandown aso.
    Have called Carl but we have missed each other on the phone.

    Cool! Any idea where the car is now? Do you have the VIN, someone maybe able to check where it is. Just interests me how cars/ people/ places intersect in unimagned ways...

    Funny you should say that...

    Only time I've ever been to Winton and every lap I'd get a different corner wrong.

    Except for ONE.

    *Cue PP*

    ;)

    ok...that's what I thought. Poor Horse :) he'd have been another 3 seconds faster on the right line.

    Only my pride.
