    I have always dreamed of a Ferrari and now I can proudly say that I have my first one. My 1988 3.2 Mondial is the right Ferrari for my current family needs.

    My personalized license plates and my forum login will be Enzo 88 for three reasons:
    1) In honor of the year Enzo Ferrari died;
    2) The year of my Ferrari;
    3) My name is also Enzo.

    This Ferrrari now resides in West Vancouver, BC, Canada.

    PS. I would appreciate any words of wisdom on how to properly maintain my dream car.

    Congratulations! She's a beauty!

    I purchased a maintenance manual from eBay for my (to be delivered) Mondial QV. I think that's a good way to start as there's lots to learn about these cars. That and finding a trusty mechanic in your area.

    Congrats again!

    I am looking forward to having a great summer with my Ferrari and my family. The Mondial was a fantastic idea and it drives like a dream. Thanks for all your support.

    Congratulations. She looks stunning! Very clean.

    I imagine she drives very similarly to my brother's ex 328GTS (also 1988), which was just a dream.

    I just bought my first F (a 550) this week as well, so I know how you feel! Congrats again!

    Nice car! You could not have chosen a better year than 1988.

    That is a gorgeous car! A Mondial Cab will be my next Ferrari. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best one. There's no other convertible Ferrari that'll fit the whole family....

    Plus you got that whole Scent of a Woman thing going for you...

    Mine was a garage queen before I got her. I've now done 7000 km in 5 months, and she drives sooooo much better now. Gone are the hard cold starts, the morning temper (rough running when cold). Sweet as a dream now!
