    Thought I would introduce myself here as my only Ferrari is a 71 365 GTC/4. The car was originally purchased by my father at FAF in Atlanta now 36 years later I am the one keeping her in my stable. My father has always been a Ferrari enthusiast and I have soaked it up like a sponge. The car is Black with Black leather and grey suede dash, Black leather MOMO Prototipo wheel and Borani Wire wheels, a real head turner and possibly the best sounding car in the world! Ha ha ha maybe I am bias. I am also an avid BMW Ethusiast, I dirve a 05 325i sedan daily and also have a 73 2002ti (euro import). I am looking forward to the wealth of information on this site I use the BMW one regularly to help answer Q's I have. I am rather mechanically inclined and grew up working on the 365 from time to time as there was no Orlando Ferrari Dealer back then, so I hope I can answer Q's too.

    Welcome! Yes, bk/bk w/wire wheels definately sounds hot!

    Which BMW forum? I frequent the Z Series on bimmerforums & bimmerfest sites (99 & 01 M Rdstrs and 535xi in our garage). I do specialized work on M Coupe/Rdstrs.

    Make sure you also sign up at www.365gtc4.com
    Over there they have C4 experts who have taken these cars apart, AND put them back together again with no left over parts. So anything to do with C4s can be answered over there.

    Will definatly check out 365gtc4.com wish I new about that a few years ago! I will post up some photos later this week, had a great drive this weekend out of Orlando and up into Lakeland then all around, nothing in the world compares to the sound of this engine at full throttle. I am on bimmerforums and frequent the 2002 and E46 sections as those are my other cars.

    Sean,

    Another useful link is tomyang.net - much smaller thabn Fchat but you may find it useful as there are quite a few C4 owners there and a lot of the owners work on their own cars.

    Regards,

    Art S.
