    what concerns me is that we're bidding against each other.

    Are you saying that Birdman's activities are the "Pitts"?

    Absolutely! We all need one of those.

    Please tell me you didn't buy up the LAST one!

    I have a Ferrari Mondial 3.2 poster in my office that I got on Ebay.

    Poster = $30

    Custom Framing = $300

    Do I win???

    I do need those engineering drawings, though.

    Where can I feed the monkey???

    H

    PS - people think I got the Ferrari watch because the face was so big I could see the hands!!

    (My son's teacher thought it was a Mickey Mouse watch because of the 3 dials...)

    hi,

    May be it is now in the right section to ask :
    - a turn signal white/orange for my 328 from 1989
    - the front horse emblem because mine lost his queue !!!

    I do the same but i don't buy !!! (i just have my car for 2 months !)...but when i read the tread, it will be difficult to win an auction !

    Best from Paris.

    LOL!! D'oh!!

    Hence the title of the thread!

    There was a dude in singapore selling them on eBay a couple years ago cheap. That's where mine came from. I think Ferrari shut him down. It was a blatant violation of their trademark.

    No! I'm hording them!! :)

    I think we should develop a "wanted" thread, sorta like the "cheap 308s for sale" thread. You have a part you are trying to locate--we have one thread where we can post this stuff. I know there are a lot of parts sitting around. And while I'm not motivated enough to sell stuff on eBay that I'm not using, I would certainly sell it to fellow brother in need on fchat. Probably cheap too!

    I too have an ebay habit for Ferrari parts. I'll buy stuff I might need for my car, or anything that looks cheap and marketable.

    So far I've bought:
    400i V12 Engine (fire damaged)
    612 driver's seat
    Set of 308 GT4 Wheels
    Pair of 308 GT4 leather seats

    Made a 100% profit reselling the V12 engine and 612 seat.

    Rent a POD! It will look GREAT sitting on your front lawn. I've been thinking about having a couple of them plopped in my side yard to store the cars over the winter so I can get my SUV in out of the rain and snow for a change. I know, it's a sickness, but one I'm glad to suffer from. ;-)

    Critters can get into the POD. Don't put a car in there is you care about it! Don't under estimate the damage that mice can do.

    Bought a hoist so I could stack the projects 2 deep. Ran out of room there and bought a trailer, full now. Rented a semi trailer and filled that with stuff. Started hanging the projects from the ceiling and walls and ran out of room there. Time to build a proper barn with a big hay loft..."its for the horses dear". Wonder how long it will take her to notice there are no stalls

    I love the "wanted" thread idea.

    Any other ideas about how we might communicate with one another so that we don't all end up bidding on something just because it's cool, or we "might" need it in future - thus driving up the price for the fellow F-Chatter who REALLY needs it?

    At the very least we 308 owners should stick together, don't you think? :)

    Didn't your Mother teach you to share!


    Fantastic idea. Which one of you "old" timers can get the mods to put one up in the 3x8 section?!

    Dude, put in the stalls! How cool would it be to have Ferraris in there instead of horses?!

    I love the idea of a thread where we can communicate our need for parts. I only have a few because they have to be small enough that they can be hidden from my better half. (Maybe in all those empty shoe boxes) :)

    Guys I am all for it. Like right now I need that silly little rounded cover for the screw on my Driver's side door mirror. I found one somewhere but the guy wants $50! Can you imagine paying that much for a little cover to hide the screw in a mirror? Ridiculous if you ask me.

    LOL! Welcome to Ferrari! Try TRutlands or FerrParts for a used one. Otherwise you need to get the one from Verrell. It is made quite well. (I know, I bought one!)

    LOL! Great minds think alike. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me build a "carriage house" with an "in-law apartment" for her mom when she needs to live with us. Carriage house of course, means "another garage just for the Ferraris".

    I'll start the thread, and maybe we can convince one of our mods to stickify it.
