    long time lurker..
    but,i think i have read almost every post on this site and have met a couple of great ferrari owners off of this site during my search. i paid off our house in january and started seriosly looking for a carbed 308. we found a nice red '79 and just brought it home this weekend. i havent had time to take many pics yet so here is a quick one out in front of the shop.

    Congrats! Beautiful 308. How did you locate this car and how long did it take to find? I hope to start the process sometimes in the next 12 months.

    Enjoy,
    Bob

    Thanks John. I think that pic is from the 2003 Concourso. It was taken right before Franco's dog started "humping" his leg when he got out of the F1 car!

    i had actually looked at several cars and talked to several people on here over the last year. i met several really cool ferrari owners. and i got invited to a show or two to come see the cars. i met a really nice f-chatter on here took me and my wife for our first drive and even let me drive his car. after that i was hooked more than i ever thought possible. the owner of that car and i talked on a couple of occations about the car and maybe him selling it. as much as i loved the car and wanted it, my wife and i were in the middle of selling a house and relocating and on top of that we had just started a bussiness and the timing wasnt quite right. as much as i hated it, i had to let that car pass by .
    so over the next year we worked really hard and had several good breaks that allowed us to pay off our house in full. not two months after paying off our house this car popped up and everything fell right into place.
