    Beautifull, congrats.

    With a nick like that, will you carve the local roads like Gilles did?

    I usually lurk here because getting a 308 is a goal of mine, but seeing the nick and the Ferrari factory... couldn't resist lol.

    Congratulations on your new purchase, and thank you for the cool pictures. I have a red 89, with similar interior (red carpeting, though).

    To make them jealous, I may take one of your pictures in front of the Ferrari building, and tell people that it's mine!

    Best regards,

    Tim

    NICE!
    Doesn't get any better than returning home.
    I both love & hate the fact that my car has visited the factory in Maranello while I have NOT!

    Congratulations!! Very Cool to have the 328 in front of the Factory.. Awesome.

    Can you take her on the track? I understand that if you own a Ferrari in Italy that you have privileges to track your personal car. True?

    Thanks to all for the compliments :)

    I have had the possibility to drive my other vintage car in Pista di Fiorano during a vintage car meeting, I hope to do it again this year with my 328 :)

    Here the photos in Pista di Fiorano with my Mercedes 230 SL Pagoda (1966) :)

    I don't think so, but I know some people that work there, so I will ask them if is possible to buy parts for 328

    Great pictures. A great town to live in with great roads around there. Was there in 07, other than the hotel near the factory, a very neat town.

    Absolutely stunning pictures! I know many parts of italy very well but never visited Maranello. Someday I will, its only 5 hours faraway (maybe 4 with the Ferrari;)).

    Congrats to your new car! It was the right choice.
