    Sadly after over 33 years with Ferrari / Maranello I have been made redundant, bit gutted, but life will go on.

    Just want to say that it's been a pleasure dealing with you guys and have met quite a few of you in person, either here in the UK or when I came over to Monterey a couple of years ago.

    Any parts queries will still be followed up and should anyone have any problems please e-mail Stuart direct on [email protected]

    Cheers

    Malcolm

    Adnaan,

    You don't know how close to the truth you are, last year came close to buying a 328 off one of the guys from the "othe forum" - didn't work out, but could have been a problem now.

    Wow, thats my ideal job, I would be absolutely gutted, being there that long you were part of the furniture, you can now start your own independent servicing business for us older car owners with that much experience ;-)

    Good luck, Malcolm. Someone with your knowledge and experience shouldn't have a problem landing something good there in the UK. Please let us know where you land!

    Thanks Malcolm. Last year you helped me w/ a "GTB", it arrived quickly at a fair price. Sorry to hear you're leaving Ferrari UK, but I have a feeling we'll be in touch again!

    Regards,
    Greg in Texas
