[DeTomaso] Ferrari 308 roominess (was F1 Experience)

[Kirby Schrader]

Nope. It was definitely a 308… A GTB, I think.
I shall check with the owner!

Well, he used to own it… and then he got married and then he had kids and well…
He doesn’t have it anymore.

They have quite a bit more room than a Pantera inside, and are certainly more comfortable.  I'm six feet tall and had to have the seat several clicks forward of the rearmost position to be seated correctly.
