I have been on the Ferrarichat for may years and like this forum there are a 
lot of do it myself types that enjoy working on their cars. I would think 
just about any one on this forum that has worked on their Pcar would not 
find routine services on a 308-360 any more challenging be it parts are more 
expensive and creative solutions may be less successful.
