    I've been absent from here for a couple of weeks… I was in Monterey for car week, then got home and immediately went under contract for a new home, got slammed at work, and only just now am I able to come up for a breath of air.

    That being said, my 308 GT4 took the "gold" award for its class at Concorso this year, volunteered at the Quail this year, and then got Tyler (Hoovie's Garage) to drive my car. I was in Monterey all week with a friend who has a Dino 246 GTS, we connected with Hoovie as he wanted to do a segment on the 246 (but you can see my green 308 in there a few times). But he did drive my car and we put it on our channel.

    Fun times for sure! And I'll be doing a separate video on the Oil Pressure Sender Unit later.

    Congratulations on taking Gold Chris! It MUST have been those "new" black carpets you installed. :) Pete.

    Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

    Tyler is going through it with the personal stuff at the moment. Glad he found a nice farm to sort of reboot what he does on his channel. Plenty of content to play with there for the foreseeable future.

    Tyler, if you’re reading this, for crying out loud stop with your in-video advertisements for ambulance chasing plaintiff lawyers.

    I think that helped me get the gold! The only improvements I made over last year (when I took silver) was replace the heavily worn carpet and get the interior lights working. Eventually, I'll get a whole new carpet kit as the car needs it, but your set has really helped me be able to put that off a little bit longer. Thank you again!

    If you haven't replaced the sender, you need to look into this.

    It is so nice to have a gauge that actually works!

    I've heard of these, and definitely interested. Unfortunately, don't have time for that right now. But I'll probably get this kit and save it for a rainy day. It looks like something more involved than I'd normally do on my car… but worth it!

    I saw that in the backgroud of Hoovies video and wondered if it was the same car - now I know it is. Nice to see it in action too.

    He’s ‘way off as to the number of 308GT4s in verde pino. Perhaps there is only one in RHD (doubtful) but there are several known in LHD.

    I wonder if we'll see Hoovie buy a 308 GT4? He's just sold off a load of cars.

    There were only 500-odd RHD total. I have seen and heard of a few, but never one in green.

    He didn't seem massively impressed in the video with this 308 GT4, so I'm guessing he won't be buying one any time soon ;)

    (It actually came across as he felt an obligation to drive the 308 GT4, as a part of the deal to drive the 246, rather than a desire to drive the 308 GT4)
