Hello everybody! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any of my work on Autopia, so I figured I’d drop in and give you a few updates on what I’ve been up to this summer.
Between detailing and writing articles for DI, I haven’t had a lot of time for much else. There are a lot of people without work these days, so I won’t complain!
<O:p
I’ve also just recently joined forces with a highly regarded independent Ferrari shop here in the Columbus area, which is going to keep me quite busy. Ferrari owners from all around the country have their vehicles worked on here because of the high level of service, so I’m dealing with some top-notch people. I am still performing work on my own, but it looks like a significant amount of my work will be done on Ferraris in particular.
<O:p
I know that many of you have been following my articles this summer (I get a <ST1:pLOT of emails!) and may have seen a few of these cars already, but I believe there’s no such thing as too much eye candy.
<O:p
First up is a 1985 288 GTO. There were only 272 of these special ````logation vehicles ever built, and they were the first in the line of Ferrari’s supercars (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo). They came with a 2.8l, twin-turbo V-8 that produced 400hp and they were the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comhttp://www.autopia.org/forum/ /><st1:Street alt=</st1:Street><st1:address w:st="on">first street</st1:address> legal production cars to break 300km/h. The owner took me for a joy ride in this and drove it the way it was intended…wide open! I prepped this car for the GTO Owner’s Reunion in <ST1:pPebble Beach.

Swirled as expected:
