Hello!! Well I am enjoying my new Italia more than I should..... but never enough. I have a couple of very tiny road chips that went trough the paint, exposed the metal. No dings fortunately and they are extremely small, I would say between 10 to 15 mils each..... They are close to the fuel filler cap, on top of the flat metal sheet that creates the beautiful waist that leads to the air intake. I am thinking of a simple touch up during my next dealer visit. But wanted to hear ideas and recommendations. I did pay the dealer to wrap the car in clear coat but this unlikely to get chips area is exposed!!!! I appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Hi All On Sunday, local motoring journalist Thimas Falkiner published an article on my 308. The article was aimed at general public rather than enthusiasts but it was nice to see my car in the paper anyhow. I have attached a pdf of the article.

Just a quick question...........................0pinions please..... I am seriously thinking about an F40 purchase. The car would be a non adjust car bought in the UK, with around 10 - 15k miles. I have never owned or even driven a 40 , but have a major itch that needs sorting. I have put it off for years, but now is the time. I would probably drive 2 - 3 k miles a year. I currently drive a Scud, (owned most V8 F cars over the past 25yrs) which I will sell. Will the 40 feel scary or slow after the Scud ? Apart from routine maintenance, what sort of budget should I allow for the unforeseen. Is a sorted car reliable, and did it / does it live up to expectation. I also run a Dino, so am used to the foibles of older cars (but small cars !!). Has anyone bought one having only driven one for the first time when buying it, and if so do you really get on with it. Did anyone buy one then not like it ? Was it what you imagined ? I do like extreme cars, so I would expect to love it. I also wonder what they are like to get out of when one wishes to sell. Any thoughts appreciated, I am in a real dilemma, it's a shed load of hard earned money as well , so I don't want to mess up (plus my wife wants me to keep the Scud !) Thanks.

The highest price I've seen so far, in Europe. Nice car, asking price is a bit insane though. Then again, it might be correct in a couple of months.... FERRARI F40 F 40 ORIGINAL LOW MILEAGE SUPERCAR 1560 MILES FROM NEW | eBay Onno

I have been having a few problems with my 430. One that has always been there since I got it I have noticed allot of people have the same issue. Sometimes while shifting it will go into neutral or just skip from like 2 second to 5th. Sometime, I will even get stuck in neutral and cant go into first. I get the amber slow down at the same time. Seems to be worse on hotter days for some reason. Anyway, now today for some reason I noticed I smelled coolant, and I see it coming out of my car. Noticed it was running pretty hot. Not even a hot day. My car has had some Novitec upgrades, including cat bypass. So I know that is causing some issues, most likely thinking its overheating even though I don't even had cats. I am thinking maybe all the issues are connected but not sure. Ok here is the weird one though. I noticed some weird residue on one side of my engine. Looks almost like a buildup of fiberglass? Other side is perfectly clean, so is entire engine bay other than that one spot. Anyway, at the moment I am charging my battery all night. I will turn it off in the morning for 30 minutes and hopefully restart the system after I put in some new coolant. In case my cats or something else just caused some issues while I was racing my friends GTR the other day. I also noticed something unplugged, im thinking its something for the cat bypass, here is a pic. Anyone have any clues about any of my issues or pics? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi All - My shop used Valvoline (synth) 20w50 during my last fluid service a few weeks ago. After driving it 2,000 miles (not a typo) since the fluid service, I figured I better check to see if she had burned off a quart (or more). After a 30 minute drive, I checked the oil with the engine idling and I was very surprised to see the dipstick covered in coffee colored foam. :yikes: I normally use Redline (synth) 10w40 and the shop agreed to change the oil out to see if that cures the foaming. What causes the oil to foam? 1) Over-filling with engine oil. Possible (nobody's perfect). 2) Condensation from disuse. Not possible in my case. 3) Contaminants in the system. Possible. 4) Wrong engine oil weight/viscosity for the conditions. Possible. 5) Other? The first 3 I'm fairly certain of...it's #4 that I'm wondering about (hence the post). Could 20w50 be THAT different from 10w40 and cause foaming? PS Temps and pressures throughout the 2,000 miles were spot on. Car drove normally and did not seem to be down on power. Fingers crossed it wasn't 'foaming' the entire drive but I have no way of knowing for sure.
