Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 3x8 evolution

[robert_h_bowser [at] juno.com (robert_h_bowser]

Mostly lurking also...but still have my old shitbox 308GTS.  Bought in late 
1997.  Almost ten years now.  Driven daily (almost).  Errand runner, grocery 
getter.

Now that I am retired, I've had the time to do a 30K service (belts, tensioner 
bearings, valve adjustment, etc.), rebuild the front end (new A-arm bushings, 
ball joints, rotors, etc.).  Although it looks stock, I've done a bunch of mods 
to mitigate some of the cooling and electrical deficiencies of the standard 
308.  No concourse car, but it sure runs great, starts right up, doesn't 
overheat, shifts right into second when cold (w/throttle blip).  All around 
great car....unless it rains!  

There is nothing like the sound of a carby 308.

Hey Gang,
   I have been lurking (mostly) for the past year or
two.  Not much to say really except perhaps when a
nerve is tweaked.  The thing I have noticed is that
when I joined the list in '96, the talk was all about
308s.  Of course, many of the new V8 cars were hardly
ideas then.  But since then, the list has grown and
evolved and the road going GT cars have also changed. 
Today I find it rare to see a post concerning a 308. 
Hell, some days its rare to see a post about Ferraris!
 Still, the recent thread on 355 tires has me
thinking, "Have we forgotten the 308s?"  I now wonder
about the model distribution within the marque, of
list member Ferrari owners.  What fraction of
FerrariList Ferrari owners do the 308 owners make up?

   Happy Tuesday!
