    Almost a year on the Mondial 8, never planning on selling that one either.

    My first is a 1999, 456mgt. I have owned it for three years, and am very fond of it. I like the 355b, but my three Bouviers would not fit.

    Back in the 60's, I bought my first Ferrari.

    It was a 330GT 2+2; don't remember how long I owned it.

    I've never been without F-cars(plural) since.

    Next question; who's been a continuous owner of F-cars the longest?

    I'm at about 36 years now.

    Sheesh, I'm dating myself! :(

    In 1976 I bought the first 308GTS on the West Coast. We picked it up in Reno NV (then the west coast distributor) and drove it back to LA. We had a 308 GTS before Magnum PI.
