    And you sir, are obviously an honest man :) My fear stems around multi owner cars and the crap that comes with it - and the fact that I got burned with my first ferrari purchase :(

    But Mark.... it is well known that condition and history are all that matters... mileage/ no. of owners etc etc means nothing.

    They're only new until pit exit......

    I agree, it's just the difficulty of confirming history and true condition (without strip down) is proprotional to the number of owners multiplied by the square of the age of the car

    ie. f'n hard

    You're hired!
    BTW, we are having a concorso, not concours - I'm having a hissy fit about the French at the moment - Spanish & Finns too!

    You were missed at the Cherry Tree.

    SOMEBODY MISSED ME !! That's so nice, oh wait, you probably just wanted someone to take the pi55 out of, right.....?

    I agree, concorso. It's bad enough that France is spoiled by the French, never mind the car show world!

    The only things passed on to me were ambition and a strong work ethic.
    That girl in the photo must be in her late 50's now, so not sure if I need THAT option now ;)

    Even if he did, why would he want a 50yo chick if an alternative is available?

    There's loads of info on here about that, so a search will keep you busy for hours.

    But basically, they starve the engine of oil pressure when it needs it most... at start up and also at high rpm. The stand pipe/one way valve and flow characteristics are inadequate or missing (depending on exact FRAM filter used).

    They're not even the right shade of Orange.
