I finally got my 365 that I bought last December out of the shop last Saturday and put 500 miles on it during the week. I got it back to the shop on Friday, just before our wonderful snow started. It still has a bunch of stuff to be done before FCA2005 in Indy (a common story with a "new" Ferrari needing more than you anticipated). That said, the headline for the Karl Ludvigsen road test in November 1968 Sports Car Graphic was right:
The Magnificent GT
If you've wondered what "Grand Touring" means, let Ferrari and Pininfarina explain ...
Strong, comfortable, seemingly endless pulling power, lots of room, all the power accessories needed for luxury ... and wrapped in Pininfarina beauty. I did discover one problem with the wipers -- the arms lift off at about 120 mph. (My passenger thought we were doing about 80 or so.) This is the right model for me (given that my budget won't handle a 500 Superfast).
I think I will be using all of the allowed 5,000 miles per year. :D
