I love my dry sump glass 308GTB

Well thats the thing, if its good enough for the people from where the car came from to buy, why isnt it good enough for Aussies? I am talking about 30+ year old cars.
So I pose the question again.

 

This mindset started long before the Internet was popular and it's not just Ferrari, every brand has the locally sold vs grey import groups.

 

Boot size.

 

Maybe, but the internet makes it worse, especially if there is no basis for it.

signed: Batman of the internet.......protecting the weak and the feable minded.

 

. nice.

 

but that's the point I want to make. these issues and difficulties are on every car, not just imports.
Aussie cars to europeans could be perceived in the same way, that's why I say it makes no difference. A good car is a good car, no matter where it came from.
How do you know an aussie car hasnt been sitting near a beach town all its life, if its been rebuilt and had all its rust removed, just like what you might think a euro car has been on a salty road.

its a silly argument, and grownups and logical people should know better.
Oh god, did I just say that.

Hence this ridiculous arguement on cars that old.
It makes no sense whatsoever.

repeat after me: a good car is a good car, no matter where it came from. thats for the individual to decide, and not based on one statement: not aussie delivered.

 

and far be it for me to make people do anything. they are their own person.
but if you are going to make a decision on something, make it on the right basis, not on internet bollocks. its like asian continent whipers (trying to be PC, and not succeeding)

Anways, back to normal programming

 

I think you missed the point, its not about my car. I couldnt care less whether it sells or not. and for the record, officially its 2 years, but who's counting. you are obviously

and saying "It doesn't matter if the thought process is flawed or not...it is what it is." well that just summarises it completely

 

The key thing is the rarity of the car. Sure if I was looking for a GT4 I would look for an aussie car first, only that the onselling will be problematic if you buy a UK car as you willing be competing against local cars with established history etc. Daytona/Dino/Boxer/C4/glass 308 are in a different category

 

**** me was that really 4 years ago, gee time flies.......

 

2 years advertised and thats a fact. I have the receipt.

4 years if you count opportunistic word of mouth.

Cant you tell I am bored today......

 

yeah I cant believe that either lol

 

yeah, you cant buy those sort of shades in Europe.

 

Well, I got more for my UK Dino than other Aussie Dinos sold around that time and my boxer sold for the same money as aussie boxers. IMO an Aussie wet sump glass car is worth the same as a dry sump uk car. Steel cars don't count due to numbers made

 

I like the idea of dry sump, no matter what car its in. Technically, its superior.
if the only way I can get it is from the UK, then so be it.
so if its up against an aussie wet sump, sorry, but the UK car wins hands down. Steel or otherwise.

 

lol, thats because 328 sumps are different to 308 sumps. thats why they dont surge.
I had one to fit on my 308
Being the lazy arse, I didnt, because as you say, it makes no difference on the road.

 

Correct I don't think the "aussie is best" rule applies to "rareish" cars. I agree with you ( it does pain me) that where there is plentiful supply like a GT4, or non glass 308, 328 etc you are better off buying the best Aussie delivered car you can find. If you never plan on selling then it doesn't matter
