    Thanks!

    My wife picked the paint: Grigio Met Fer 700/C and the leather: Rosso 3171.

    I added the only options available at that time:
    - sunroof,
    - leather dashboard and
    - leather headliner.

    DavebDave and Soucorp this morning at Fair Lakes C&C in VA.
    I finally got to test drive Dave's t and he drove my 3.2. The t was more powerful indeed but had a more heavy clutch compared to my 3.2.
    Dave was surprised how easy my steering was without power steering using the bigger Nardi. The two cars do not drive the same was our conclusion, both unique its its own way even though they share similar looks.

    Cheers!

    Very interesting to see the difference in the fender flares of the two, I did not realize how pronounced they are on the 3.2 and I think I actually prefer them to the smooth sides of the T as it gives the car a bit more of a hot rod look.
    Of course everyone always mentions the larger air intake grill on the 3.2 but not much talk about the fender flares.
    Cheers.

    In the Mondial Racing thread car #13 is a t but has the 3.2 flared fenders I've noticed. Looks good.

    Your car looks nice Francois. Those wheels on a Ferraris makes a big difference. BTW will you be at the little cruise saturday for the Italian week of Montreal. I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be there. Not much cars to be there but I will.

    Hey Mike!
    I just realized that I never answered your question here...sorry about that!
    My interior is crema (almost white), a pain to keep clean!
    I love the color combo, it's quite striking against the black and carbon fibre...

    I've seen Lino's at our mechanic's place (Ralph), and I'd never seen the grey interior before.
    It took me a while to get me head around the grey but it is quite nice and quite unique for sure.

    Thanks...
    Running as sweet as it looks too. Installed the factory Euro pipes, changed spark plugs, power steering fluid, oil & filter, expansion tank cap, topped off coolant, clutch & t/o bearing replaced, K&N re-charged, fresh tires and new battery. Driving back and fourth to Monterey / Carmel It's spinning up real nice. I love this "Car Week" time of year.

    Thanks Claude. 18'' three piece wheels custom made for a Mondial by Forgeline.

    IMO the Mondial is a timeless design and needs lowered suspension and nice wheels to render it justice ...



    I would like to be part of the little cruise but unfortunately I have something else scheduled.

    It would be fun one day to meet and make a little spirited drive!!!

    That's a great looking Mondial. Is the color black or a very dark grey?
