    Has anyone else seen this short film on Hagay's experience in the 308?

    It is one of the handful of Ferrari short features that I continuously return to. It depicts the 308 beautifully and really captures what the car is about. His enthusiasm and description really get the car juices going.

    Thanks for posting;
    Though I already discovered it shortly after it was uploaded.
    One of the best 308 GTB movies on YT.

    Best Regards from Germany

    I love the Hebrew... He is so passionate you almost don't need the sub-titles. If we all felt that strongly about what we are driving, the roads would be a much cooler place :)

    Hi guys,

    Thank you so much, this is really exciting to learn people enjoying our little film.
    As discussed before with another member of this forum.
    Where I live, I mostly got a: "why is there no 0-60 times, or bhp or more specifics".
    And some - "this guy wouldn't know what to do with a Ferrari if he owned one" (It was not my car obviously).

    And in all fairness, I'm just an old-school kind of guy, who cares more for the feeling, passion and joy of driving than the average, more horsepower bigger this and that.

    And I mainly did this movie for myself.
    I had the car for 5 hours total, with 2 hours stationary in that car meeting (which gave me time to seat down and appreciate it more - most car test involves squeezing as much seat time as possible).

    So to get such great response globally, especially from 308 owners it's really exciting.

    So thank you, for commenting and sharing.

    Hagay

    I have watched your film several times.

    I feel a huge empathy to what you say in the film. The 308 is magic. Everything you observe in the film, I have thought to myself as well. Your film explains back to me why I love old classic cars.

    Wow! How neat to have you on the forum! I too have watched your video several times and it never gets old. The feelings you convey and the joy... Way beyond boring 0-60 times and dry specs. For me it is about how the car makes you feel. My cars are older and more mechanical and more engaging. They aren't the fastest - in fact, mostly entry level cars, but they all demand your attention and reward you for your participation.

    I also want to applaud your videography skills. It is very easy to watch with a great blend of visual, music and narration. Can't believe you had the car for such a short time. It plays like you you spent an enormous time prepping and setting up.

    Just as others have said, the best 308 and one of the best car videos out there!

    Thanks so much for sharing it.

    I saw this film a few weeks ago. It's the best film about a 308 I've ever seen, it explains why outright speed is not what makes these cars special.

    Thank you Hagay.

    And... more please.

    I agree with this 100%. Excellent job in visualization, concept, editing, sound, and most important - capturing what's special about these cars. Thanks!

    Just saw it for the first time. Thanks to the OP for mentioning it. Kudos to Hagay for excellent production values and, mainly, for doing such an excellent job conveying the passion Ferrari automobiles evoke.

    Absolutely! If you are ever in Colorado, you can have the pick of our litter to use in a movie!

    Great film Hagay, I've watched it a dozen times and it never gets old! One of the best films out there on our 308's! Thanks for posting it for everyone to enjoy! Cheers, Dennis

    Wow, it is a treat to have you drop in. Again, an incredible capturing of the essence and spirit of the car and a driver's connection, verbally, audibly, and visually. It really stands on its own as a great piece of short filmography, rather than your typical car review. I know that I would love to see your work and approach brought to other models that share that same old-school visceral makeup.
