    As an analogy to the current steering-wheel-hole post, has anyone else noticed how grille shape, bumper type and wiper arrangement seem to exist in numerous combinations? I imagine that some of this is due to accident repair (for example, the newer grille surround and front pan or newer-style two-strut front bumpers, or US parking lights on a Euro car). However, some of the variations are probably the result of that Ferrari "what's-in-the-bin?" mentality. Usually, parallel wipers are found on cars with the newer US bumpers and front pan, but not always. I believe that all RHD Dinos have the "stacked" wiper arrangement, perhaps because Ferrari didn't want to invest the extra money needed to reverse the layout of the parallel wipers. Just an observation on what seems to be Ferrari's penchant for confusing owners and defying predictability. Fred
