    Does anyone know where to find a good quality log books to track travel and miles? I recall a log book from Ferrari some time ago but cannot find anything.

    Yes, I have found generic log books online. I'm looking for something of high quality like a pilots log book not a cheap "Office Max" notebook. Would like to document road trips, rallies, etc,

    Also, if anyone has photos of the old Rally logs Ferrari used please share. I'm thinking I may have to create my own if I can't find something.

    Thanks!

    In ages long past, there was for Construction Superintendents a bound Daily Log.
    It was a quality piece and quite durable, basically a manly Diary.
    Would hold a least a year's entries, maybe two??

    But on big jobs they became a legal item into managing the Contract.

    I want to find the equivalent, not some cheap, thin paper, spiral notebook you can get at the office supply store!

    :)

    See if Browns Bookstore still sells them here in Houston.

    A Surveyors Log Book would also be nicely bound, and somewhat smaller than the one I first posted about.

    Office Depot actually has some nicely bound notebooks but I think my last one had flowers on the front!!
    I was secure in that....LOL!

    I really like your desert adventures man you post great photos on your FB...

    That trip was epic! I'll post a few more on my IG at DRYL8K since FB has become a political CF and not fun to look at these days.

    We need to plan an F-Chat Reunion, it's long overdue! ;)

    It may take some looking but search for vintage or antique stores in the UK that specialize in luggage, writing accessories or touring gear. If you don’t see it in their web site, inquire, as they are sometimes slow to update their inventory. If they don’t have what you want they can often point you to another source as they tend to know who the specialists are.
