Merry Christmas Tony!
I have no idea what happened to the old thread, unless I'm blind I can't see it anywhere. Anyway I thought I would start a new thread on a very good note. Some of you may know that I had a really odd and rare gear box failure last October. The input shaft sheared, almost in half. After a whole bunch of work myself, it was time to pull the engine and send it off to Gran Turismo in Alliston. As I have said before when my car was there for other unrelated service, Brett and his guys did an amazing job at a great price. Well things are even better up in Alliston with his new guys added to the shop. Brett himself an avid Ferrari dude, went WAY WAY WAY above and beyond, sourcing parts, carting my car back and forth a few times so I could work on it while he had the engine, and just putting up with my incessant calling. Eddy and Jay, the guys who worked on the car, know their ****! Eddy used to work on these 308's when they were new! They are great guys who love their job. All of them did amazing work, and again the price, I'm not going to get into specifics, but I am still in shock of what they did for me. I really can't thank them enough. Honestly these guys are not jaded about their jobs, and their passion for the marquee is real. Just go have a bite to eat or a drink with Brett, it's Ferrari this and Ferrari that, deffinetly he is in the right business. Oh and there is absolutely no drama or bull****, just plain good old car fixin Thanks again guys! And to those who are considering going with Gran Turismo, don't just do.

Just got off the phone with Brett. Picked his brain for about 20-min....outstanding guy, very nice and very patient while I asked him a quite a few questions.
if you wanted to talk to him for 40 minutes or longer, you should have told him you were thinking of buying a 400i
yup...i can go on and on about 400's, can't i ? even i can get a little sick of it sometimes... : ) thanks Fav, much appreciated...my inspiration was your pragmatic, upbeat spirit and your willingness to help your own situation...you've done some great work and should be really proud ! Mike, i look forward to working with you 'down the road'. thanks. brett
Thanks Brett, I appreciate it, she's coming along better than I could have hoped. Now if I can only get this VHT wrinkle paint down pat , I've repainted my intake box 3 times! But the oil cooler box was good in 1 shot !!!!
This thread needs a bump as we learn of more people taking their cars to the destroyer of F-cars and thief of our money.
You will have to go back and read this entire thread, there is at least one listed that everyone knows of.
