    I remember being confused about BB's and 308's. The 288 REALLY confused me; I thought it was a 308 too. I also remember thinking a 246 was a 308. The door scoop you see; looked the same in my mind.

    But then, at 6 years old I wasn't a sophisticated car guy like now!

    So someone stops and compliments you on your car and you not only get angry, but can tell his sexual preference? Doesn't make sense.

    edit-- Sorry, I reread your post. Your "fun spin" was you spinning on your gearshift knob. Never mind, makes sense now.

    You weren't angry? Then what? Embarrassed? Smugly superior?

    I guess I missed the point of your post, unless it is 1) you want everyone to know you have a BB and not a "lesser" ferrari, and 2) you hate gays.

    I'm not gay or offended. I do think you are a bigot.

    Newman's profile suggests he also has a "lesser" ferrari so it can't be 1). My wife had a TT and I drove it from time to time. Now I'm worried that she might be a lesbian, or worse, I might be! Her plate was TWO A T, but if you read it as one word................

    Mark,

    See this thread from earlier this year:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56693

    Here are some pictures of the Budweiser 308 GTB prepared by Ray Ramsey Racing for Paul Newman. Gene Hackman is listed on the van as the team manager.

    Sorry for going off topic here.

    Hey ecnal, take a pill, it was meant to be a little funny but you cant please everyone so I dont try to. I love my lesser ferrari as well, I wouldnt be busting my nuts to restore it if thought it wasnt worthy.

    4RE Bob, I like the plate, I took it as the latter.

    Barry, thanks for the link to the Newman 308 car. I had missed that thread earlier in the year. There is a picture of the Ramsey racing van on an earlier thread which I cant locate right now, but it shows Clint Eastwoods name on it along with Hackman and Newman.

    Regards,
    Mark

    Hmm... maybe you should check the Audi forums to see if HE called you a homo there to his fellow TT-ers! LOL ;) ;)
