Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308in08 first pictures

[MFORDHILL (mfordhill]

I didn't realize Charles had issues too. 

The list should realize that these tire issues occurred not only because the 
hotel failed to clean the lot but also because several owners ( Ric Rainbolt, 
Mike Charness, Robert Rehkopf ) were most generous on giving rides and or 
letting people drive their cars.  At the time the chosen route was up and down 
a huge unoccupied parking lot. I rode in Ric's beautiful 360 Berlinetta. What a 
machine! Each ended up with multiple punctures in their rear tires. I think 
Mike takes the record though with a total of 10 nails/screws in his rear tires 
with 7 punctures. Each of them deserves an Outstanding Owners Award for their 
generosity!

There were a rash of flats because although Harras promised to do so, the lot 
hadn't been swept of debris.  Lots of nails and screws - and they found their 
way into many tires.  Ric's right rear had three nails in the tread when he 
noticed that the tire was loosing air.  That's when we saw the screw in the 
right front, and the nail in the left rear! Charles Perry limped home with a 
nail in the sidewall and Robert also suffered a sidewall failure.  Don't know 
who else had problems.
