    Over a month after purchase, my car was finally delivered yesterday, it came in very dirty from outside transport, gave it a good wash today and had some quality bonding time with it!
    Loving it!
    Would like to thank Sammyb for all the great advice,
    And Steve Fordham of Boardwalk Ferrari Plano TX for the PPI, great job!
    Now, lets rock n roll!!
    Bring on the spring!
    Stefano.

    Thanks Dan,
    Oh you bet I will drive it!
    The only problem is I'm a drummer and have 4 gigs this weekend!!
    I'll just have to be patient!

    Beautiful colour (that's how we spell color up here :) ) inside and out! As much as I like red, that certainly suits the car very nicely. My 328 is sitting at the dealers waiting for me to come and pick it up.....as I'm looking at it snowing outside again.

    Congratulations on acquiring your 328. Looks stunning.
    When my car arrived, it was one of the happiest days of my life. But in Ferrari ownership, it was also the most relaxing.
    The reason being is, I hadn't been able to drive it to find any faults yet. I realized that the more I drove it, the more frequent idiosyncrasies would appear.
    What I'm trying to say is to enjoy this moment to the fullest. This is the time where you'll find yourself not stressed about anything with the car. (Ie; weird sounds and such)
    But remember that the more you drive the car, the more in touch you'll become. Enjoy how she speaks to you and respect her.

    Yeah, all cars have there own quirks and after all this is is a 26 year old car, I'm just getting to know it.
    I owned my old car a DinoGT4 for 28 years, lost it to hurricane Sandy.
    But I feel the same way I felt when I got my first car!
    Oh and um...
    where's the gas cap?
    LOL

    Congrats. The 328 is a great car. And no doubt, you will never see one in this color at your local car events.

    I hope you have a great experience with this car, Stefano! I'm sure the whole experience has been somewhat bittersweet, after losing your car of 28 years, then discovering something really amazing about it's history that you never knew the whole time you owned it! It reminded me of the time, many years ago, that I learned my '69 Z28 was one of 209 factory four wheel disk brake cars built... Oh well!

    Enjoy this one!

    PS: Your comment about the fuel filler made me think of the '56 Fleetwood that I once owned... It took quite awhile to discover that pushing one of the rear reflectors opened the tail light, exposing the gas cap!

    I get a lot of strange looks when I use the key to open the window louver and take off the gas cap!

    Stefano, no need to thank me for the help. It was my pleasure. You're a great guy and your great attitude has been rewarded with a wonderful car. Enjoy it.

    Nice looking car. I'm partial to blue cars anyway, but this hue looks great plus it's a rare color for any Ferrari even more so for a 328; you won't get lost in a sea of red Ferrari's.

    How many miles on this puppy? Have the wheels been chromed? Good luck with it and enjoy it. 328's are great cars.

    Thanks Alberto!
    I looked at a bunch of cars but this is the one I'd keep going back to, I love the color. I had a red Ferrari for 28 years so I felt like getting something different.
    This 328 has been driven, its got 58,000 miles on it, and I sure will be driving it!!
    In general I'm not a fan of chrome wheels but I think these look good on this car.Too bad its still so cold here in NY, cant wait to take the top off!
