Why isn't there 348/355 technical videos

Hmmmmmmmm..............you just gave Pappy a GREAT idea.

 

Just kidding mate.

I love the idea though. Sounds cool.

If I were to make something like this, I would probably just share it with the Brotherhood for free.

But thats just me and how I was brought up.

 

Funny you mention this----I need to remove my door panels again and was going to do a video step by step on how. Would seem to be much easier than stopping and taking pics and then a write up...I was going to have the GF run the vidcam while I took everything apart and explained what I was doing. Then maybe uploading it to video google and sending the link to anyone who needed to know how to do it... If we can get a bunch of vids like this---Would there be a way to combine all them and burn to a dvd?

 

Sounds good mate!!

 

Just noticed you are an F1 World Champ Rob!

Congrats mate!!

 

Thanks----Finally crossed the 10k post last week!!

 

This is a great idea, I think the only reason it hasn't been done yet is the editing time. To be useful we need to just highlight the main steps. Although watching me swearing trying to get the clutch housing back on would be good entertainment

 

I know somebody who can edit and make DVD's with menu options.

Let's do it : )

 

You've probably never heard my voice. I sound like a squeaky mouse that has been drinking Tequilla from a helium balloon.

 

Aren't. Why aren't there.

 

Are you now the official Fchat school marm? It fits you well, friend!

I only do horror or porn movies these days..........

 

I still like the pic/write up format as there is no need to rewind or pause and can easily be printed . Though there are some vids that I've been collecting for future editing... ....... I think it is a great idea and anyone can contribute clips as they do work on their cars??

 

Because there is nothing technical about 348/355 cars. They're a bucket of nuts 'n bolts wrapped in a little Italian gift box.

 

I'd be interesting in participating in something along these lines too. I'd prefer to see a single manual though, as it's nice to print it out and then bring it to the shop with pics and specs. I created a (very simple) writeup at http://trentonline.com/pdfs/FerrariF355DIY.pdf that I posted a while ago. I was thinking of scanning the forums for good writeups and followup comments and adding them here, but I was afraid someone would take offense to their work being swiped. I'd love to see a "front-to-back" DIY manual that starts with a buyer's guide and ends with a detailed workshop manual for the weekend warriors. I also have the workshop manuals as PDFs and it claims that the contents are public domain (??). I'd really love to help demystify the Ferrari and show avid owners that it's still "just a car"... albeit a special one. I can start and host a wiki where everyone could post/edit writeups and then add them to the pdf.

 

Since everybody is online these days why don't we just make a website with all the movie guides and write-up's we can find? I think that we could collect alot of good stuff realy fast! Anyone in for that project?

 

I was just joking with Carbon about the school marm thing.

Regarding the video thing, y'all might want to round up with Sy @ www.fgear.tv. He has spoken to me at length about this kind of project, and might be a good resource for professional development of the idea.

 

+1. I think that printing and being able to discuss a static pic on the forum where you can circle things to point them out is the way to go. On the otherhand, videos would be great to show a technique like how to properly polish a car or something like that.
