I have always been a huge fan of MPI, but have not seen the show in years...just switched to Verison FIOS in March and was able to get MPI. This got me thinking of the 308 and to look it up on the internet...and yadda yadda yadda...it's being delivered to my house tomorrow morning! NO JOKE!

In that case, would you mind if I had unrestricted access to it--just as long as I continue to offer my periodic assessment of your estate's security?

Congratulations on the Ferrari! You'll have to post pics and let us know how it drives. I'm planning on getting one as well, but it's a long while off.

Congrats and start saving up for the maintenance costs! The 308 has always been one of my favorite Ferrari's!

I still think the 308 and 328's are the best looking Ferrari's made. Congratulations and hope you post some pic's........

and I felt guilty on spending the money I did on the DVD's.

Are you going to get a "Robin 1" vanity plate for the car?

So, how was the first weekend in your 308?

zplate, how about filling us in on how the 308 is driving?

I just got the car back from the shop to get all fluids/filters/hoses change and/or checked.

I did not want to get on it and drive it that much until I did all of that... the car is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. I would love to upload some pics, but it's not the easiest thing to do on this site.

It's pretty simple to upload the pix. James just put detailed instructions on the Magnum Mania! Talk thread.

How's the Ferrari driving, zplate?

I'm living vicariously.
