    I got this idea from another forum I'm a member of. I think this is a unique question to Ferrari folks who I assume are likely to hire others to the work for them. What did you do to your car today? Share photos!

    I was reminded of this idea when I was helping my dad troubleshoot an electrical issue on his Lusso. I didn't take photos but I promise it happened :)

    Let's see those greasy fingers!

    I looked at it, and opened the door to see if my bluetooth earbuds were in it.

    Hey Bob, looks like it's been 200,000 miles :) Good on you for doing it yourself. What's the next step?

    Nothing now - it's all done.
    A few weeks back, I finished rebuilding the entire suspension, making a new exhaust system, had the shocks rebuilt.
    Next step is to install cruise control, a new stereo and remote actuated door locks.

    I’d skip the stereo, cut the dash and add a gps.

    Clean work, good job!

    I see you're a metal worker (the tools in the background). How did you learn - school, trained or on your own?

    Life must be getting sad to consider fitting CRUISE CONTROL-- Maybe you need a Mercedes instead
