Yeah, I wish i was able to repair my own, but unfortunately I have no idea how to. I get all my work done at Graypauls and rely on them to charge me a fair price. I wish I could tell what goes wrong and have an idea about engines but, my trade is pubs and beer and that is all I know. But if anyone knows of where to learn about Ferrari engines i am all ears.

I know what you mean.

On basic cars, I can change oils, air filters, that sort of level of work, but if i had a Countache, a car i have always liked and i would like to get some time, i would panic if anything major wanted doing.
I wouldn't dare take the cylinder head off, for example!

I had the same jeering when my 355 spider blew a slave cylinder seal in Nottingham 4 months ago.

I saw you looking concerned as they nearly ripped the bottom off it putting it on the back of the truck...

I'd have stopped to help by the way mate, but you looked as if you had it sorted.

I was jeered at by everyone on the thousands of buses that went past.



I wouldn't worry about it, you've got a Ferrari and they're on a bus. I would have mooned them just to annoy them

Wasn't home on Friday.

Next time, grab your PDA/mobile and put out a shout .... coffee n cake is easily provided to motorists in distress awaiting recovery.

Bugger, not had anything through. I really don't know why. I've had other emails through PH so I don't know what the problem is. Send me a mail to: . Let me know when you've done it so I can delete my mail from this post.

emailed you now direct, it's funny as I didn't get the usual copy email from PH that one normally receives when emailing through PH...confused
