    OMG, my 1983QV has 46k on it! That must mean someone drove it 1700 miles a year for the last 27 years. It must be done now - clearly that many miles a year will take it's toll on a car you know...LMAO!!! :p

    That's the magic number. Sorry about your resale options now.


    BTW, did the belts self destruct?

    Next time you get the urge Dave let me know as it would be an honor, if the passenger seat is available, to ride along and possibly have lunch. Yah I'm sucking up but show me someone who loves Ferrari and is NOT willing to suckup for a ride LOL!! I have never had the pleasure of experienceing a GT4 firsthand thus I beg or digress depending upon how this request is taken. Oh yah I forgot to mention that I am local, Hwy6 & Westheimer wink wink!!!!!!!

    Frankly I've been a bit ashamed to tell you guys this or show you the following photo. I want to be a good member of the community and take care of my cars. I want to be worthy but........
    So to add to the horror not only is it now totally burned up, used up, and worn out but look what happened to it last fall.......

    :D

    Considering water has touched it and the high mileage, I 'll give you $100.00 for it. Keep in mind this is a cash offer. :)

    You are obviously abusing this innocent car. I, as a representative of the Chat Police, will be over immediately to take possession of this vehicle and rectify the situation!!

    ;-) May you have 30K more happy miles with the Dino, and I still want first dibs if you decide to sell!!

    Total junk! ;-)

    Think the 308 that was here turned 70k while at Watkins Glen International doing slowish 2:24 lap times. Total POS ;-)

    Since I am not a member of the GT4 club, just had a question for those "experts"
    Since these cars don't melt when you get them wet, maybe I can have one in Oregon? I was wondering, what years did they carry the dino badge on the car and instruments?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    1974 for sure. Some in early '75 until they were largely swapped for the little horsey badges. ;) All the instruments say DINO as far as I know.....

    I hope this thread will be around for another 100 years so my Great Great grandsons can post the 30,000 & 60,000miles on my cars.
