    Many many years ago when I first started looking for Ferrari info on the new-fangled WWW, I ran across a website dedicated to the 308GT4.

    The url is http://members.tripod.com/~ferrari308gt4/ferrari.html

    It was the site that made me realize that even a guy like me could afford to drive a V8. The site hasn't been updated for a while, and I was wondering if anyone knew whether the designer still has his GT4.

    In any case, if you happen to read this Mr. Perry, thanks for the inspiration!

    Hey, I was googling some things and found someone that wondered if I was upright and breathing.

    Contrary to other reports I have a pulse.

    Glad to see I provided some inspiration to someone!

    Hi Robert!

    Man....just found this thread.

    Jim Perry passed away about 18 months ago at 59. He was a friend of mine from my time on an IMSA racing team (met him around 2009). Well after I was back to normal life, I'd talk to him periodically, I told him once I was looking for a GT4, and he says "You know I have one, right?" (never once mentioned in the 3 years I saw him daily). I contacted his wife early this year, and bought the car from them and will put it back on the road.

    His website still lives on... https://ferrari.jimperry.net/ferrari.html

    @GrigioGuy @robertgarven

    Miss you, Jim.
