Ferrari Mailing List: the lines are just perfect 3x8 evolution

[Michel Savard (mysavard]

Good day mate,

I know exactly how you feel. In 1975 when the 308 came out I was 17
years old. I NEVER NEVER EVER  stopped dreaming about owning one. Then,
came Magnum P.I., then came Christy Brinkley driving one in a movie ( I
forgot the title), well........

In 2001, at the age of 43, I bought a 1981 GTSi (red on black). You're
right when you say the lines are just perfect. My favorite architect is
Frank Lloyd Wright. His best designs are a great mixture of very sharp
straight lines and curves. The 308 IS THAT.

When I finally bought it, my favorite reaction from all the different
reactions I got from friends was, "finally you'll have to find a
different subject to talk about now that you have it".

I'm a teacher, I teach English as a second language in a primary school.
I don't have the salary for a Ferrari. Somehow, I manage.

That's what dreams are all about. Money, time, energy are never a
problem.

Michel

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 :)
