Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking around the forum for some time, and may I first say well done on creating such a place with a wealth of useful knowledge in one place.
I was considering buying a 222 or a Quattroporte IV, because they are understated looking bonkers cars, but eventually Google, (damm you google), led me to considering a 3200GT, a car I remember tracing onto most of my school books instead of actually doing schoolwork. After about 8 months looking I settled on a car and referred back to the know-how listed on here, both before and after purchase.
Shes an AC, manual, Aussie Delivered and was used as the press car for the release of the AC here in OZ, but after a nice journalist thrashing had two owners before myself (do you ever own one or are we all just custodians of greatness?) and the last owner took amazing care of her so I hope to do the same.
Done a few niggly jobs on her so far and now shes all most the way I would like her, neat, tidy, a bit subtle looking but sublime to drive. Shes the first V8 and the first turbo in the garage so I wont lie, the pedal on the right still scares the **** outta me! :b
Anyhow that's that and I hope to contribute to this great forum one way or another, although don't be surprised if its slightly irregular.
