almost missed to introduce myself

Hello all,

after two postings in the Collectables, and one posting in the technical section it came to my mind, that I missed to introduce myself. So allow me a few words about me.
I already followed the 'old' FerrariChat some years ago and posted several times. Then there was a longer pause due to building a new home and moving but recently I rediscovered this great forum here and would like to participate again.
I'm in Germany and own a '80 carbed 308 GTB since 1996. After restoring a '72 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV ( Bertone Coupé) which I still own, I fulfilled my dream, which began in 1977, when I saw a 308 GTB for the first time in reality.
Most of the maintenance and repairs I do myself. During this time I had a complete suspension rebuilt, repeated routine maintenance - in the beginning I drove around 10.000 kms per year.
And many, many smaller or bigger repairs. The technicians on this forum will know what I'm talking about
The only thing an official Ferrari workshop had to perform was when in 1999 the lower cambelt drive began leaking severely. Since this is an engine out job - definitely on my drysump car - and being at my former home I had too little space, I entrusted a Ferrari shop with this task.

For completeness a few words about my person. I'm 41 years old. I'm a mechanical engineer running my own small business since 9 years. Together with my wife, who supports all automotive things limitlessly, I live in the outer southwest of Germany in a small town ( approx. 10.000 residents ) close the french and swiss border.

That's it for the moment. Did I forget something ? Probably yes.

Best Regards

Martin

Hi Jeff,

we already had some business via the Owners Website and I was absolutely happy with your service, the parts, the shipping, etc.
And I recommended your supply to a friend - Robert from Nuremberg - who recently ordered his 'beloved' 308 GTB one pipe exhaust system.

Best Regards

Martin
