Do they have an asking price on the Testarossa? Or is it one of those cars where "if you have to ask - then you can't afford it".

I totally agree with DC33. Unless the car has been exercised on a regular basis and maintained properly, only covering 500 miles in almost 20 years of existance may be asking for trouble. It was also very common on Ferraris of that era to have the odometer disconnected.

If you do go look at the car again, take a few pics and post them up for us....?

Here in Mich. it seems like we get about 6 months of winter. Then 6 months of everything else crammed in, like high temps, high humidity, frosty nights, bugs galore, rain almost every weekend while the weekdays are sunny, and storms and tornados, and road repairs & detours.

I'm seriously looking at moving south if an opportunity arises.

Thanks Everyone! I don't want to seem redundant, but today was another nice salt-free day. It's been over 3 weeks since the last drive...so....out my fiancee Karen and I went for a 20 mile drive! The air was very cold and the wind was blowing, but the sun was trying to shine. As I mentioned before, these Testarossas have a great heater. So we did a nice country drive. The car didn't want to run very smooth at first, but after an "Italian Tune-Up" (high rpm blast) the car was back to it's smooth-as-glass idle again. I know I can't be the only one who does this. So if anyone else actually gets their pride and joy out on a nice winter day, please share it with us.

Believe it or not, a really good, gentle cleaner is WD-40. That's what I use on my Testarossa. You will need to wipe things down well, but it leaves things looking pretty good. I've never tried the engine detail spray stuff - but judging from the pictures, I just might.

I hate winters, not a good time for us car guys! I've been suffering withdrawls lately, so when the roads were clean and free of salt, I decided to get the Testarossa out and go for a quick spin. These cars don't like sitting inactive for long periods, so it was time to get her out and loosen up the old bones. After a few minutes to get the "blood" flowing, I gingerly drove over a bit of snow to get to dry pavement, and then drove granny-style until the temps were up a bit. Then I let her have it! The car really likes the cold air and pulled very strong. There were lots of stares in traffic, I mean who drives a Ferrari in the winter? But really if the roads are clean and dry, there's no reason not to get our cars out for a short trip. You will feel better, it's good therapy. Just thought I'd share this with all of you. I'm sure I'm not the only one getting the winter blahs.
