What a lovely stable of cars.

I think I'd call myself smugmug too if I owned any of those.....apart from the Fiat!

Young'un and granny together.

That was weird; just scanning through the thread and the first thing I thought was "Wow! That was brave, parking them that close to a swimming pool." paperbag I really need to stop putting off that trip to the opticians. Gorgeous cars, BTW

Glorious car and looks great in blue but if it was mine I would remove the Ferrari badges.

It's a personal choice, but chances are that the badges were added by the dealership/Maranello Concessionaires when the car was brand new.

In this day and age, hardly anyone really cares if a Dino 246 has Ferrari badges on the rear end or not - Unlike in the past, when it was far more of an issue due to the cars not being accepted by everyone as being a "real" Ferrari.

It's the cavallino leaning forward too much that would get to me... Haha

First day of nice weather here in Scotland yesterday so I finally got the Pug out of the garage after six months and gave the old girl a really good clean, hoover and a light service.

A pic of the other side explains all. Front drivers wheel in a dirty great hole.

That is a niggle - You would think that whoever did fit the badge would have ensured it was at the correct angle!

The trouble is, the badge is bolted through the bodywork so you'd either have to fill and re-drill the holes, or slot and fill the previous holes to correct it.

And if you take the badges off, you still have to fill the holes and repaint the rear panel.

Does the gear lever cause any loss of skin on the knuckles it looks very close to the dash.
Wonderful looking car though

You can only change gear by grabbing it like a stick. It is impossible to hold it from the top. Sitting so low and resting your elbow on the transmission tunnel, it is quite natural to change gears like that.

That was great - did you use go pro? I am doing an early morning run through central London down to the FOS and I would like to capture it.
