    Just got back my 360 Modena from the dealership today. Took it out for a spin in Manhattan and New Jersey. Missed the engine roar the past 2 weeks! Damn it feels good to have the baby back! :)

    Wish i could take my car out i miss driving it. The roads are still so salty and my drive is to steep/icy to get any kind of traction.

    My TR is out getting the major service. Service manager at Autosport e-mailed me pics of the car with the engine out, and all the work they've already done. Bummed me out that even if I wanted to go for a drive on the sandy roads, I couldn't. Better weather is coming fellas... Hang in there!!!
    Hubert - Rock on you bad ass mo fo!!! Takes a big set of nads to drive a 360... especially on NYC roads in the middle of winter after a snow storm!!!

    Hi Dwight,
    great to see another `91 Testarossa. You own a real beautiful Testa, saw the pic in you attach.
    Well, I have also done a big motor inspection, gear box repair (2nd & 5th gear replaced) just a few weeks ago.
    The Testarossa without the engine looks fascinating & cruel...it hurts.
    I got tears in my eyes when I saw my testa, without the engine, the first time; after the bill the second time:D

    Regards from cold & snowy white Germany

    Yo Wolfgang!!! Post up your e-mail, I'll forward the pics Autosport sent me of my TR apart. As for the bill, well I gave Autosport a check when I dropped her off. I know I'll have to write another check to get her back...
    Reagrds from snowy Connecticut!!!

    Hi Hutch,

    (sorry for hijacking your thread Hubert888)

    Yes, maybe you need a second check;-(
    Same happened to me. I brought my testa to the garage for the big service and gear box repair. They called after a while and told me that the differencial is also dead;-((((...another 3.5K. At least I payed around $12.5K (€uro: 10K)
    Anyway, this "beast" realy worth it!!!! I`m very happy and proud and enjoy each mile with a bright smiling. After driven a 308GTSi QV for several years B4 I bought my testa....its just another world and dimension!!!! 5 liter, 12 cylinder, tubi exhaust w/testpipes....amazing power!
    Hope your baby ist getting well soon!
