308 GTB # 21027

Is that Adrian H's car in the Ferrari spotters thread #5257?

 

Please ignore, missed your answer in the other thread.

 

come around and you can take the blue one for a lap around the block...

You are SO wrong it's not funny...

An Aus 308QV and even a 328 is a gutless slug in comparison to a 2V Euro car with sports silencer...

just come and drive the blue one... or I'll take you round the block, whichever you prefer...

wrong wrong wrong...........

 

Bar humbug.

 

i MIGHT be wrong (but i doubt it) but i can remember when the GTSi came out it was considered a joke. It sounded terrible and had about 215hp...so down about 40hp and up in weight.

it was not a very popular car.

all was forgiven with the QV though.

 

You MIGHT have been wrong in the past and you MAY be wrong in the future, but for NOW you are correct.

 

which bit of what i wrote about ferraris do you MOST agree with?

 

*cue pic of annoying pensioners insurance woman*

 

I agree with EVERYTHING that you wrote in that post. ( ff will now think I'm on YOUR side again)

 

I guess comparing a Euro 2Vi with sports exhaust isn't apples/apples... but I still haven't driven, or even seen an AUS 2Vi for comparison...

I do know without doubt, that the blue Euro one Graheme Fletcher is selling is NOT gutless at all.... and would easily out drag an Aus QV and probably an Aus 328, up to, and well beyond the legal limit.

Anyone seriously interested can contact me or him directly.

I've driven dozens of examples of almost every model, and of course you get good ones and bad ones, and ones with problems, and modified ones, so driving ONE car once, might not give a good statistical test.

hey, maybe this blue one even has Hi comp pistons fitted... I haven't checked (but I could, I guess), but it drives that well it might have. There are cars that have been hi comped before without records....

 

And I just saw a pig flying in to the sunset

 

you can come and drive it too GM...... I know you'd be impressed... seriously, it drives very well....

plus, this one has got the right colour carpets in it....

 

I, and thousands of others, believe you

 

im sceptical...

 

i'm spartacus

 

like I said. You're welcome to drive it yourself.

Do you like sauce on your humble pie sir?

 

you would be, youngun... you're brainwashed from HSV marketing... you still think a Holden is a sports car... it'll fade eventually.... so long as you escape before initiation is complete.......

 

and so is his wife...

oh no, that was Brian...

 

I'll be over next week, might give it a try.
OTOH, I really don't need to bother, do I?

You can buy me lunch - the sauce I prefer on my pie is Coulis aux tomates jaunes - can you arrange that?

GM

 

you can tell me if it was worth it AFTER you've driven it....

sauce... err no, far to ceremonious for me... how does some HP sound?

 

few months ago i used to listen to pommy radio, i just got sooooo sick of their dam HP sauce ads, my god they want you to wership the stuff.

fwiw the marketing werked on me, i bought a bottle of it, thought it tasted like bbq sauce with worsesctershshirrsechire sauce added and that was it, i give it 6/10, and also don't listen anymore (also somewhat to do with some stupid football song they'd play 6 times per hour - this was about werld cup season). soooo, they earned some money from their marketing, but their radio station lost a customer.

 

strange... I don't think I've ever seen (or heard) an ad for the stuff... absolutely love it though....

Quick lunch favourite of mine that I can prepare cook and eat in about 4 minutes flat (not pretty sight).... multi grain toast, scrambled eggs with extra mature grated cheddar, cracked pepper and lashings of HP suace...

YEAH BABY....

 

think it's called Virgin Radio... linky: http://www.smgradio.com/core/audio/mp3/live.pls?service=vrbb

all i remember was after every 3 songs a stoopid ad talking about how to get the amazing smokey bbq taste without having a bbq blah blah yeah it was annoying so i stopped listening.

good station otherwise.

 

Very interesting history.

Not ony that of your car and restoration, but F-Chat.
