Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 3x8 evolution

[Gavin (gavinnz]

My 1978 308 GTB has just tuned over 60,000 miles.. and with all the service 
docs and paper work I got with the car I have followed the milage over the 
years increasing slowly but surely.  Which is nice as it's been a "driver" 
all it's life and longest it spent without a drive was 12 months when the 
owner went to the UK for a year.   I think the contact use is one of the 
reasons that so far I have has a pretty good run with it so far.

I spent 27 years dreaming about having one.
I really consider my self lucky to have the GTB.  It has always been my 
dream Ferrari.  The lines are just so "right" on that car, they really are 
timeless.

When I am protective of it (not parking it in silly places etc) one friend 
said "hell it's only a CAR!"
My responce was "no it's bloody NOT, it's the colmination of a 27 year long 
dream mate"

After 8 months of ownership I still walk into my wharehouse every time and 
shake my head at the sight of the car sitting their :)
I have no plans to "upgrade" to another Ferrari, as anything else in my mind 
would be a down grade :)
