    Hello!

    I bought my first Ferrari some weeks ago and it's a -92 Mondial T Coupé with sunroof. It's completely original with 16" rims, tool bag with tools and tire puncture can.

    I live in Stockholm, Sweden so now it's stored in the garage for the winter but I will leave it to a mechanic for service, cambelts and a new clutch so it's ready for the roads in the spring.

    I have loved italian cars as long as I can remember and have previously had a number of Alfas and a couple of Fiat.

    Beside the Mondial I currently have an Abarth 500 Assetto Corse that I race in Club Alfa Romeo Challenge (a national race series open for all italian car brands).

    Looking forward to learn more and to explore the joy of owning and driving a Ferrari and have already found some really useful information in this forum.

    Welcome! I spent a lot of time in Stockholm. Even sublet a flat at 55 Katarina Bangata.

    Sounds like you are a true Italian car enthusiast! Congrats and enjoy the car.

    I love black on 80s and early 90s Ferraris, such as the Mondial. Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the forum!

    I was in Sweden last year for a wedding and was pleasantly surprised on how many Ferraris I saw. Also surprised by the number of American muscle cars and learning about the "Raggare" culture. It's a great country!

    I believe Sweden has more American cars than the rest of Europe! I drive a 550 in Sweden :) It is probably the country in europe which makes buying and owning a sportscar a "cheap" experience.

    Finally got to mount the 18” 355 Challenge rims. The front tyres is 225/45 and rear is 255/40. I just took a short test drive and it seems to work fine although it’s really tight on the inside in the front. Could maybe add a thin spacer there to get a little more clearance. Rear seems fine but there is already a 15 mm spacer added there.

    Next I will need to find suitable centre caps for a resonable price. I would like them to have black instead of yellow bakgrund color but haven’t found any yet in the right size. Any suggestions of where I can find caps is appreciated.
