COOL!
Thanks for the observations.
I have not driven my 308GTB for about 3 months!... but summer is here now so 
as soon as work allows I will get it out and road legal for the summer.
Walked past it just yesterday in the shed and even after almost 2 years 
ownwership I STILL shock my head at the sight of it sitting their and said 
out loud to myself something along the lines of "holy F^%#$@ hell" ... I 
still have to pinch myself that it's really their.

I will be back with a "first drive of summer" report in the next few weeks:)

Regards
Gavin
New Zealand
1978 308GTB red/tan, RHD on 16 inch Ferrari wheels, deep spoiler, full Euro 
spec from new.
