Hey thanks for the comments. Interestingly I know that if you want to buy a 
456GT (which here in the UK now sell for substantially LESS than 355s, you need 
to have 10,000 pounds (not dollars) set aside for anything that crops up. I 
know a bunch of guys with these cars which are nice cars but every time 
something breaks it is very expensive!
