    Welcome to The Club, Martin.
    A fine looking steed! There is something about glancing down at that horn button and seeing the Cavallino Rampante. It makes you feel connected to an amazing part of automotive history. Though I see "Dino" in the center of my wheel now, I have had the pleasure of owning several 'Ferraris.' Whether vintage or exotic or elegant, twelve or eight or six cylinders, each made a statement and was a thrill to own!
    Enjoy yours in good health and happiness.
    Cheers,
    Coop

    Nice interior color combo. But why did you think you'd never own a Ferrari?

    Thanks for the replies. The car is beautiful....can't see me replacing it with anything else, except maybe another Ferrari.
    I was looking at prices, and in the UK it's about £25,000 or more for a 308/328. The GT4 starts cheaper but I couldn't find a good one. The Mondial seems a bargain, relatively speaking anyway, as you can still buy a really good one for under £20,000.
    I never thought I could afford it, but I owned a Porsche 928 and it was costing me £500 per month in repairs, and I thought maybe I CAN afford to run a Ferrari.
    So I went for it!
