Ferrari Mailing List: Re: FerrariList when joined?

[Peter Rychel (dino308gt4]

Nice. Is it F1 or a full automatic?

 

Years ago, when they first came out, I was at the dealer and in their garage. One of the salesmen were showing this guy a Q-Porte and he revved the thing to redline. Inside the building. It sounded glorious!

 

Great news you’re feeling better.

I sold my 308GT4 a couple of years back.  Why?  1. The prices hit a
level that I thought was unsustainable.  2.  I was beginning to worry
about parts availability.  3.  But mostly  --  I was experiencing some
weakness and paralysis in my legs making it difficult to drive, let
alone walk.

So it went bye-bye.  I'm not exactly happy with where it went, as I
would have liked to have seen it go to a caring owner.  It was sold to
a dealer.  But at least I got very close to the going retail price for
it.

As for me, happy ending.  Earlier this year a neurologist identified
my problems as a benign tumor that had just about severed my spinal
cord.  Surgery in February, and I'm nearly back to normal.

As for cars, I've gone old fogey.  Big 4 door sedan.  Maserati
Quattroporte Sport GTS.  It's one of the last ones with the naturally
aspirated V8s.  Years ago, I watched them build these V8s in the
Ferrari factory in Maranello.  Even sat in Philippe Massa's
Quattroporte when it was in for service.
