    Good afternoon everyone,

    does anyone have this issue of Forza magazine and would he or she be so kind to scan or take a picture of the pages where the 208 GT4 and GTB are compared and share them with me, please?

    I live in Italy and would order the back issue, but I need to check it with some urgency to take a quick purchase decision.

    Thank you very much, for whatever you can do.

    All the best,
    Nic

    When I get home late tonight I'll see if I have it.

    I have them all with the exception of one back in 08, believe it or not.

    If it's on the shelf, I'll photograph the article and post it for you.

    Consult your attorney before you run afoul of copyright laws.

    Not enough meat on my bones for some lawyer to fool with over this.

    Especially since I am making zero dollars and zero cents on the deal. Just helping a guy buy a car and promoting their nice magazine

    Then by all means post. Copyright attorneys always show compassion to these type of arguments. Poor Ferrari owner has nothing of value.

    My FORZAs seem to be buried under piles of junk, but at daybreak (in Houston) I will dive in to find it.

    I quit buying it by issue but I may well have that one!
    Dr. Tommy may beat me..

    Buy the car, whatever you are looking at!
    :D :D

    The GT4 is considered the better handling, but it's the ugly sister to the GTB!
    GT4s are coming up in the market right behind the early "B"s though...
    :D :D

    Are you one of these attorneys that you speak of?

    Saving the world from illicit car magazine articles from decades ago?

    I think I may be able to help you. This is shelf #14 and #15. Started my library back in 1981 when I was 13.
    I need a ladder to get to half of it now.

    I don't think that is what you are doing. I think you are bitter over something else and just do not like me.

    Put me on your ignore list and try to have a better day

    Thank you very much Tommy!
    If you can be of any help, I will deeply appreciate.
    Personally, I do not think that sharing a couple of pages from a 13-year old magazine with a friend for no profit should send us to jail, but please feel free to behave as you wish.
    P.s. I'd be curious to know what's happening to all those who share millions of books for free on 1lib - just to share a great link! ;-)
    Thank you very much!

    Good morning...let me move some junk here......

    I can jump in and save Tommy, as I not only have an extensive Record, I have some great lawyers on Speed Dial, although Racehorse Haynes and Joe Jamail have "gone on ahead"...
    :D :D :D

    That reminds me I actually do have some follow up in Austin and a Parking ticket here...Houston Texas

    Having had my copyright work illegally used I am sinsitive to people caveliarly stealing others work and thinking it’s no big deal. So yeah, I don’t like you or your interpretation of obsconding with other peoples property.

    You're too late.

    And I don't give a damn how you feel. Man up and let it go.

    This thread is about helping a guy out getting a 208, not what hurts your feelings.

    If you want to play adolescent games and get personal, shoot me a PM and we can play in private.

    Hi mate,

    I cannot tell you all how I feel sorry for having created all this friction in such a paradise land for privileged people like Ferrarichat.

    I believe that written messages can be more easily misinterpreted than spoken language, and I trust that you and kind TC are both very nice persons who accidentally got engaged in a verbal fight - or that maybe you can even become friends someday :)

    I believe that the two of you have different opinions, and I respect both.

    I must say that TC was extremely kind and helpful with me, especially because I was in a hurry for a decision, as I explained.

    Personally I don't think I stole anything, or at least I do not feel too guilty, and that the few pages he sent me were no different at all than if he had shown me in person... if I just got on an intercontinental flight and went to his place. In my work I have familiarity with copyright and intellectual property, but honestly I don't think that sharing 6 pages of a 13 year old magazine with a friend in a hurry and in private for no profit should be considered such an shameful act. Luckily, life is full of coloured shades between black and white, isn't it?

    But this is just my opinion and you are free to embrace or reject it, and I will not think good or bad about you either way.

    All this said, if you want to share with me anything about your Ferrari ownership experience (do you have a QV or a Turbo? It isn't clear from the profile info) I will deeply appreciate because I love all the 208/308 models.

    All the best and a big ciao from Rimini, Italy,

    Nic
