Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mauro Forghieri on Ferrari book and the 348 (Clyde Romero)

[mysavard (mysavard]

I mentioned that paragraph because it's the only time Forghieri writes about a Ferrari road car in his book. It comes at the end when he's frustrating by what is happening all around him. If he had said something like that about MY 308, I still would have written about it to the Ferrari List. I jst wanted to see what the List had to say.

Among its many defects, was a chassis that deformed to the point where the metal sunroof wouldn't even return to its housing."
