      as usual it’s got all round boingas well as dual cell, perfection 3.8. i’ve ventilated the motor housing and revised my h plate design for the better. and i found a nice looking screw from an old mobile to use for the rear shock.:8ball:

      Actually, that’s far from the first off road Ferrari. During the Gr.B days the 288 GTO was homologated for world rallying, granted, they never really had a chance to compete because Gr.B was axed, and the 288 went on to become the F-40.

      Betty.k…………you’re a very sick person. Sick…….sick………sick. Demented too. Definately……..demented.

      I like it though. You definately gotta get some fets in there. It will change your whole outlook.

      By the way, what kind of loony-toons puts shell stickers on a ferrari?!:p

      Umm, ever see a Current (post ~96 even) Ferrari F1? Sponsored by Shell? Or the “If shell is good enough for a Ferrari… adds?

      I’ve also seen race Ferrari’s using Total oils, matter of fact I haven’t seen Agip in ages, might just not be sold in AU anymore, or maybe they were bought out by Shell.

      i’ve thought of that, but after experiencing my first fetted pcb i realise fets give plenty of juice, no need for more torque!:8ball:
