Thanks H4nh for the great pics. Looks like everyone had a great day and it was a nice collection of cars for a "Sunday" drive!

I really think I might trade my BRZ for a 328GTS given the opportunity to drive one first. I know they're finicky and cantankerous at times but I just love those old F-cars.

I understand your feelings, but if you get anything older than a 355 you are in for a lot of maintenance and cost to keep up. Find a 355 at a good price and you are in a much more reliable car than any Ferrari before it. (My best friend is the mechanic for every Italian car (mostly Ferrari's) that runs in CVAR vintage club, and they run with the national SCAR quite often at joint events at places like the Austin F1 track, and this year Indianapolis (using the infield Formula 1 track). Not even he wants the trouble to maintain a 328 or 348 (348 was the testbed for the modern upgrades Ferrari was making at the time which were improved upon for the 355 and the 360) for his own personal use. To me that says a lot, but if it is just going to be a low mileage driver, that you put few miles on for joy rides, then the 328's do come cheaper to buy. The problem is maintenance and how much you might incur in that regard.
Not trying to tell you what you should do, just a bit of advice from someone who is around old Ferrari's quite often.
