It stands out even more when it starts filling with smoke on the Motorway Simple fix though the chaps who had done the latest tweaking had fitted the exhaust to close to the underside of the fibreglass floor and it was begining to melt it

I though they might be in there, but didn't pop in to check I guessed they were parking in the Rarri Hospitality tent but obviously not

Cheers, hopefully we'll all be at Le Mans in one piece, only the Cerbie has dropped out our convoy so far still got the wedge and an S for company

Thanks Jay! I'd like to see that and it would be interesting to see if I looked as much of a knob as I felt.


When are you looking to purchase the 355, and I assume it will have the full tubi treatment?

The only reason I don't have one already is that I've not been able to focus on 355s recently. I want to enjoy it, not fit it in around work things. There are lots of ratty 355s about, and ultimately it'll depend on finding the right car at the right price. Did you look along that line of 355s? There were a surprising number of differences in the interiors of cars produced through the years. When I do get it, I think I'll leave it stock.













Only kidding!

Are you sure that wasn't the price in Euros? I've seen several on sale at continental dealers for around that much. Going rate in the UK is about £300K (advertised price).
