I am interested in a 308

i think everyone here will say buy the blue one...

as with any older car their reliability reflects their maintenance and use. general costs may be a little higher than standard cars, but deferred maintenance costs a lot more.

btw these are just general car notes, i've never even been in a magnum car, i just want consultant status like pap.

 

firstly, that blue one is a HOS

second, the reliability of these cars can be reflected in the use I just had of my 84 QV which I have driven from Melbourne to Gold Coast and recently from GC to Hobart and back including 2 trackdays and lots of sightseeing.

I used 6 litres of oil (PP uses no oil in his 355 for obvious reasons) no water and who cares about the fuel.

The car stopped once at the Wrestpoint casino and wouldn't start (this turned out to be a Bosch relay for the fuel pump - $12)

I have had the belts on my old GT4 changed twice by the Ferrari dealer in Qld for $750 each time and the second time I handed him the tensioner bearings which were $180 each to save the additional $800+ bill they would have stuck me with for the same bearings with a Ferrari wrapping

These engines are basically bulletproof and provided you get a 2v engine that has had the sodium valves replaced or a QV engine which does not have this problem all you need to remember is to have the plugs changed every 10k kms, oil changed every 5k kms, diff/gbox oil changed every year and run nothing but distilled water in the radiator.

Never skimp on the servicing, it WILL come back to haunt you but make sure you get the right mechanic to look after your car as a bad mechanic can make your Ferrari experience a nightmare and a good mechanic can make your dream enjoyable.

Send me a PM and I can help you out a little more if you want

 

I would say thats not the most exciting part of the experience

 

like anything if its abused (like moretti) then its stuffed, if its looked after, loved, pampered and adored (like me) then its great, thats not to say that the ferraris out there with 2km on the odomteter from new are any better, these things need to driven and on a regular basis, if going for a coffee with the latte set id driving then buy a WRX. if you want a spirited drive and want to know what life is about then buy a ferrari. it becomes a disease where by 1 is never enuf and you will always want more.........like me

 

how many diseases you got? are you the outbreak monkey?

 

I'd say allways buy a blue one.....

 

plenty and still looking................

 

So I've heard. Les let me in on a secret today. Very interesting....

 

i will email u

 

mmmmmmmmmmm

Much more important. How is 2/2 coming?

 

will start later this week. good news is i know my way around everything now so it will be much faster. that, and 2/2 is *much* more interesting than 1/2 so requires very little editing.

gf is over in dingoland playing state nutball at the mo so pray i get some done before tuesday when she gets back and all bets/clothes are off (eeew)

 

Are you sure you wanted Dingo to know that?

 

he's too busy chasing the K CC at the moment. he sent me a pic of the lower half of his better half this week and... phwoar it looks like good competition to mine.

don't put all your koenigseggs in one basket

 

Hell, I didn't get that email.

 

with any luck he'll post it here. or i'll just wait until copyright expires.

 

My ears were burning.....

I've given up the hunt of the Koenigsegg and am now looking for the Adelaide netball team.....got a few leads already.

As for these allegations that I emailed certain photos of a certain someone, let me just say she was clothed in the shots......I wouldn't dare otherwise. They won't be making an appearance on FChat though.

What a coincidence, my better half returns on Tues (31/10) aswell....maybe we are seeing the same person.

 

that main street starting with a B... i can't remember baxter brunswick or something but watch out, lots of huge feminazis and ***s play nutball. in fact my gf is probly the only one there who likes the little bit i got to offer... oh dear she has a black belt in karate though so watch out

what can i say.... apart from teh POS she was in front of she's my kinda girl (if i don't have to see her face or boobs)

oh that could be awkward... now i wonder how many dingos ate my baby...

 

could this be what SiFi saw at Goobers place last week but was sworn to secrecy?

 

Barrack St?

I just found her, she says hello.

it only gets better from the waist up.....part 2 of the picture series next week.

just one.....multiple times.
