Seeing as I bought #3 this week, a 308 GTS QV, maybe I have been spending too much time on Fchat, and not enough time here... :D

Steering wheel recovering

I asked this question on Fchat, and only Tom S. replied with anything sort of useful.

The steering wheel leather on my 365 has finally ripped in two spots. The padding underneath is still in good shape, so I only need the wheel recovered. Any leads on a good shop to do this?

Thanks,
Erik

They never really are completely done, but you should be proud of all of the hard work you've put into it. Great job and great car. Enjoy it.

Take a look at the 365GT4's/400's/412's. They may surprise you and they are good for your intended use.

Its a little older than 4 years (actually, its 10 years old now), but we'd be willing to part with my wife's ES300 (original owner). 1994 white/tan. About 120k miles. Interested? Its just sitting in NC waiting for us to get back.

I hate to admit this (especially in this group), but a co-worker of mine back in the states has a Z06 Vette. I drove it to lunch one day. Wow. A lot of car for the money. I'm not trying to start an arguement, but I did enjoy that car. I don't know how tall you are Luke, but at 6'2", I don't fit in t...

Luke: I did my homework on Bentley Turbo R's but once I started seeing what the repair bills are like, I'd rather get a first generation Testarossa. You could get a 348 Challenge that has been raced for that price as a track car if that is what floats your boat. A well sorted 308/328 GTB/GTS is in t...

When I tried to get the certificate for the 365, I sent in the two cast numbers that are on the passenger side of the gearbox. Ferrari emailed me back (about 2 days later) saying that these we're correct. Anyone know where the right ones are?

I've been toying with the idea of getting either of these plates:

FIAT V12
V12 FIAT

At the end of the day, the random plate from the local prison is just fine. The car says enough without the need to personalize it more...

If you still need the one in Birmingham checked out, please let me know. My mechanic is tied up this week picking up our new Mondial from the DC area, but may have time to go look sometime in the next two weeks. I can put the two of you in touch if you want.

My 365 sat at a Ferrari dealership for sale for 6 months. It was more or less running when I bought it and only reliable to drive anywhere/anytime for the last 3 years. Problems with it were in one of two categories: deferred maintenance or faulty maintenance. Once I found a mechanic that knew what ...

V12 2+2 and V8 2+2 down, V8 GT and V12 GT to go. That should be enough for a while. The wife has approved a 2 seater V8 purchase in 2005. Life is good.
