Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GTB running again,, heart rate up!!

[Gavin Bedggood (gavinnz]

Dry sump, single distributor, full power RHD UK spec model with low front 
spolier.... in red and tan with 16 inch wheels....
The car I dreamed about since I was 12.
I think if I do ever get in it and "just drive it" and I don't feel a real 
buzz,..... THEN I would consider selling it.

Yes I think you are right.. the lowered heart rate was indeed the correct 
responce to the RR running:)

Regards
Gavin
PS now I have to find out why the horn on the 308 is not going.....
