    Hello mate, that's interesting but I went to their site & couldn't find anything small for cars or boats. Do you know where we can find more information & stockist in our area?

    Thanks. The 308GT4 is an under appretiated car. Despite its Bertone styling, it's a great driving and handling car. The engine sounds good too.

    Porsche prices are appreciating and even I am suprised.

    Your car looks amazing and I am hunting for a 308 or a 512 BB for use under classic plate in Singapore .

    Lovely car. I don't know of a GT/4 that hasn't had the choke cable disconnected.

    Could you please let me know about it? Why did they disconnect the choke? We also noticed that some of the parts for the auto choke is also missing on the car so we are trying to fabricate the parts to make it active again.

    I wish that I could. All I know is that is common. When I asked my mechanics all have said I shouldn't reconnect. Not just here in warm Florida but up in cold New England as well.
    Anyone know more?

    The environment of Hong Kong and other places in South East Asia is definitely not favorable to old exotic cars, but I doubt that would stop the true enthusiast from having that type of car. Anyone who still wants to own and drive a 308GT4, Dino, or any pre-90's exotic car already has the requisite "love for the car", that the environment would not stop them from having that special old car. These owners tend to keep the car for some time and treat it very well. These owners tend to love the car independently of the brand status that a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, or Lancia has. Kudos to al of you out there doing this...

    A major, rain-laden storm made landfall North of Manila this morning. There is plenty of rain, and humidity is touching 90%. The dehumidifiers are keeping humidity in the garage to about the recommended 55%, so that gives me some peace of mind.

    One shouldn't tempt fate. As soon as I posted that, the lights went out. A transformer blew in the storm. By morning, without electricity, humidity in the garage rose to 79%. Luckily, we have power again.
