Morning Wolfgang, Happy Birthday to you. I know I`m late, but better to late as never I think. How are you? Anja ( my Anja ) has lost her Job, so it`s not so good at the moment for us, but the hours with the 308 ( I named him ROBIN, you know why ?! ) let us forget it for a little time. I hope the sun comes out at the weekend, at the moment we have snow. See you Frank

some info about the Magnum Ferrari: The 1980s TV series Magnum P.I., starring Tom Selleck, took the already popular Ferrari 308 and turned it into an icon. The Magnum Ferraris are undoubtably responsible for much of the mystique and desire for Ferraris starting in the 80s. This is demonstrated by the fact that the Ferrari 308 (and its decendant, the 328) are still commonly referred to by casual admirers as "the Magnum P.I. car." Throughout its history, the show featured three distinct types of Ferrari 308: 1979 308 GTS 1981 308 GTSi 1984 308 GTS QV Between 3-5 examples of each car were used during filming, employing different cars for various types of shots. Cars in pristine condition were used for close-ups, and less cared for cars were used for action scenes and stunts. Some sources claim that the car used for stunts was not a real Ferrari, but a kit car. Universal Studios has a 308 GTS on their backlot that they claim was used on the series, but various sources claim that this example is actually one of the kit cars used for stunts. A picture of this car can be seen here and here (I have no idea who the lady in the picture is). Because of Tom Selleck's large stature, certain modifications were made to the cars for the show. Padding was removed from the seat so that he would sit lower in the car, the seat was bolted in the furthest position possible from the steering wheel to provide maximum room, and rarely (if ever) was Tom seen driving the car with the roof on. Known serial numbers for cars used in the show are as follows: #29109, 1979 308 GTS #34567, 1981 308 GTSi #57685, 1984 308 GTS QV On an interview on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1997, Tom Selleck talked about the cars used in the series. He claimed that 5 different cars were used, and that they were all auctioned off at the end of the series for outrageous prices. Selleck stated that the first car used on the series had a modified racing clutch, which described as very stiff. He said that when he released the clutch, the camera crew almost got run over a few times! From time to time, the cars that were used in the series are offered for sale. Larry Manetti, who played Rick "Orville" Wright on the show, bought one of the early cars from Universal at the end of one of the seasons and later sold it. In August of 1996, S/N 57685 was offered for sale by Algar Ferrari of Philadephia for $53,000. Contributions to this FAQ by: Steve Jenkins
@Frank, for sure I know Magnum!!! I think that I have seen all series Too stupid of me not to think about Robin/Magnum. I remember also the days when somebody asked us which Ferrari we drive and we just answered "the magnum" one `cause most people don`t know what a 308 is @Waldo, wow, wow, wow seems like you know everything about the 308`s from Magnum...incl. the (as usual for you) VIN Thanks for all this great infos!!!!!! Wolfarossa FORZA FERRARI
Tnx for the credits...but I have to admit, that I myself don't know everything about it...I just know how to search the internet very well When you know the right ways, you can find (almost) everything
Waldo, I know. Its not a trick, its "google" Indeed a very usefull help; but you did it for all of us!!!! Wolfarossa FORZA FERRARI
I think it is because of Magnum that the 308/328 shape is burned into my subconscious! I really WANTED that car with all my might when I was 16-18!!! And 23 years later that dream became a reality. F*uck it - I'm a lucky person!!! ....and I love my old car. Thanks Hollywood! Cheers, MARK
Yes, of course But ALL threads in the Euopean section are getting hijacked...sooner or later and thats o.k. Wolfarossa FORZA FERRARI
yes...you are a lucky person. It was also always my dream...the Magnum car (what little boy don't want it...) but my dream is not (yet) the truth but it will be...it must be!! once!!!
Happy birthday Wolfgang me old mucka. Hope you had a great day..sorry I'm a bit late with the good wishes, but I've only just got to a computer and would you believe it, its on a beach up on the Mozambique boarder. So just thought I'd say hello to all on Fchat and wish Wolgang a happy birthday. @Mark aka Malfark...I've got a few tales about Kruger, one day 41degrees the next 275mm of rain in 8 hours...we had to walk 20kms to get out of the trail camp as all the roads were washed out...but I'll write more when I get back. See ya Simon
Hi "bushman" Simon, thanks a lot for the birthday wishes....no never too late;-) Hope you are doing well and you enjoy Moambique. I have sadly never been there but Mark is well used of this country Take care, enjoy your time and come well back! Wolfarossa FORZA FERRARI
On top of my mind, after 15 years after I saw the\last episode, is "ROBIN 02". As you can see, I was not a Fan.... My situation is almost identical to Mark's one: I lovedthe car, and now I drive a 328..... To Malfark: Look at my profile: just days between ours birthdays. To Wolfarossa: Ashamingly late: BUON COMPLEANNO! Ciao Eugenio
Alfredo & Eugenio, thanks a lot for the birthday congrats! No, you are not to late....I`m still celebrating & party my birthday since 1 week now Thanks Wolfarossa FORZA FERRARI
