Tell me about TTO!  My first time on a track in a Porsche 911 GT3 at the Jonathan Palmer school in England and I lifted going through a fast left hand sweeper. Looped it 3 times before coming to a rest without hitting anything. Instructor said "Shoulda kept your foot in it mate!"

Hey Rob, of all people who fuss over detail, you forgot to glue on a cotton beard onto Santa Enzo's face!


Merry Christmas to everyone else on the Ferrarilist!


I first joined back around 2000/2001, stayed on for a couple of years, somehow lost the subscription, stayed off for a while and then got back on earlier this year, thanks to Rob. If I remember correctly, probably both Dave Handa and Rob recommended I join first time around.

Gentlemen:
I think I inadvertently found the Ferrari List about 2005, as I was actively searching for an "affordable Ferrari." I initially thought that the Ferrari List was just that; a list of Ferrari cars for sale. Little did I realize the caliber of people involved with the list or the wealth of knowledge that I would gain over the past 10 or so years.
I have always remained reticent to introducing myself to the list, and have basically maintained my status as a "lurker." This is mainly because the people who post here are far and above my socioeconomic status or my level of education and professional expertise.
So, to celebrate the season and the longevity of the list, please allow me to formally introduce myself.
My name is Dennis C. Burleson, a native of Rutherford County in the Piedmont of western North Carolina. I have lived in the same place for the entirety of my nearly 60 years of life. I attended Wofford College for two years (1974-76) before dropping out to pursue a career as an automotive mechanic. I spent 30 years as a mechanic, working in independent garages, being self employed, and working as a line technician in various dealerships. I eventually tired of the constant struggle between advancing technology and the art of trying to satisfy customers. After making a career change a few years ago, I was forced to take early retirement due to an on-the-job injury. That's when the childhood dream of owning a Ferrari took precedence. After 20 years of chasing Ferrari cars in magazine ads and online searches, I finally found "an affordable Ferrari." 

I have a 1985 308 Qv. I bought it cheap, as it was maintenance deferred, devoid of documentation, tool and jack kits, books, and all the other stuff that Ferrari owners seem to value. In 2013, I scraped up enough funds to remove the engine and try to do a thorough service to get the car back to a sufficient state of repair. Along the way, the Ferrari List members always supplied me with information, or sources of information, that have helped me complete this project. Paul Bennett provided me with wiring schematics, Clyde provided me with his lucid, no holds barred, acrimonious opinions of Ferrari cars in general. Many others, whom I have found to be consummate, articulate, and highly educated world travelers and Ferrari connoisseurs, have shown me and taught me many things about Ferrari and the world which I have never seen nor experienced. To all of you, I tip my hat. I have gained an inordinate amount of knowledge and information that I would have never been exposed to had I not
 s
tumbled onto "the list."
My sincere thanks and gratitude to all of you that post, and continue to post on Ferrari List. Your insight, experience, world travel, opinions, and personal experiences have deeply enriched my life. To you gentlemen, I say, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
Sincerely,
Dennis C. Burleson? 

PS: There's no such thing as a cheap Ferrari.

Always great to have another 308 QV owner in the group. Thanks for posting and a Merry Christmas.
