    Gawd...don't give up your day job.

    Actually.....I think we know which one of us is spending his dad's money. You're spending your inheritance....pity it can't pick up the maintenance.

    Serious question....have you had a stroke or something?

    You've turned into a bit of a nut case.

    Actually my mum is doing a great job of spending my inheritance..
    But my car is perfectly maintained by me,,
    unlike you l don’t need to pay people to fix my car..
    no wonder the receipts tallied up to $47k on that poor GT4..

    I can see you've already spent too much time stroking.

    Oh really? It 'costed' you $15k to rebuild your GT4 engine with you doing it?? You really ripped yourself off.

    Judge Judy always says that if you stick to the truth, you don't need a good memory.

    Try to stay consistent, if you can.

    Umm,since when does rebuilding an engine fall into the category of maintenance?
    But l did participate in the rebuilding process to
    a)learn the how’s and what’s of the 308 engine..
    b)speed up the process as it took forever..
    PS:l won’t be replying to anymore of your comments in this ‘tread’..
    Apparently we have our own..

    Great....I knew that would happen eventually.

    So, you're angry about a number of things.

    1. You paid $45k for a GT4 that needed a $15k engine rebuild because, like the rest of the car, it was stuffed, whereas I paid $35k for a car that DIDN'T need an engine rebuild. You can't differentiate between HAVING to spend money, like you did, and WANTING to spend money, like I did. That's because you're a journeyman car badge chaser, but I'm an enthusiast.
    2. You sold that GT4 and bought a non aussie spec 328GTS, and you're angry that I don't like them. It seems to hurt your feelings.
    3. You're annoyed that I bought a 328GTB which on the one hand shows (in your mind) that I like them, but angry that I sold it because I found it soulless, relatively speaking, and made a profit on it, even though you don't actually know why I bought it and have the details wrong anyway. The fact that you've referred to it as a UK spec, just shines a light on your blind hate of my opinion and your ignorance.
    4. You're angry that I bought a fully restored 308GTB and spent money on it, despite needing nothing. It appears to be beyond your comprehension why I'd do that, but it's ok...my money, my car.

    I think what annoys you the most is that you actually can't get any of the 'facts' straight because you really don't know them, and because your ego is tied to the way your car if viewed, you feel belittled and ridiculed by anyone saying they're not a fan of 328s. Stiff!

    What, the carbies are in a box in the boot ?
    Surely you aren't implying that your GTB is now running on the original Weber downdraught carbies

    Absolutely, they are one of the most beautiful Ferrari's and as I've said before performance isn't everything. You could always throw a Motec on if desired. IMO its hard to fall in love with a car if you don't thinks its beautiful.

    Spot on.

    That’s why 720S drivers will spend all their time telling everyone how their car is faster than a Ferrari, but everyone will just nod politely while thinking it’s as ugly as a hat full of arseholes.

    And the owner will secretly know it’s true.

    Let's get something absolutely straight....it's the last on the list of FERRARIS....so no, you shouldn't GAF. It's not anyone said I'd rather drive a ute.

    and trying AND SUCCEEDING, but it serves him right for being a knob. You're not taking it personally, because you don't have a personality disorder. It's not a personal insult if I say I don't like a car ffs!!!

    exactly right on all points.

    Maurice could do the same with his 328 and give it some personality. Actually, he should MoTec himself for the same reason
