Thanks for posting. Would have preferred hearing the cars to the soundtrack, though.

The Stratos' predecessor, the Fulvia, is one of my favorite cars of all time. Too bad they're so rare.

I remember seeing photos of a Stratos for the first time in a magazine in the mid 70's... sooooo cool and different. British Top Gear had a great piece on the Stratos recently.

Love the Dino vid -- automotive heaven.

Of course, in heaven the Ferraris don't break down and you can find parts for them. Until then, I'm content running through the gears with the old M10 ...

Believe it or not in 4 years not one break down and most parts aren't hard to find. Not cheap, but available.

Ah, so that's your car -- nice! Nothing quite sounds like a Ferrari ...

For awhile now I've been half-seriously thinking about getting a Mondial or 308, but it sounds like one needs rockstar $$ to maintain them properly and/or superior mechanical skills. It does put all my BMW expenses into perspective, though, not all that expensive a hobby!

Actually, 308 GTB/GTS and Mondi are very solid reliable cars, easy to work on and reasonably cost wise to maintain.

Yes, they are more than a TR6 or a Fiat 124, but not crazy expensive. further, they are simple and easy for a talented home mechanic to take care of.

Now, I don't have rose colored glasses; the vintage cars , Dino included, can be very costly. Like wise the newer cars, esp the 348 and 355 can be costly, but the 308 is a reasonable car for a regular guy to have if he will do the routine stuff himself.

If you are a car guy, I swear, you should try at least one time in your life to have a Ferrari, In your old age you will not regret it, I promise. :)

Urotrash,

(This is getting OT, but) I appreciate your comments. I guess like any car everything depends on how the car has been taken care of. For me it will depend on my ability to do on the 308/Mondi the routine stuff I do on the 02: fluids, plugs, replacing bolt-on items like starters and water pumps, etc. I imagine that the mid-engine location presents some challenges. Something to check on the Ferrari sites ...
