>>>I drove your Ferrari 308 from Texas to California to deliver it to new (and current) owner Rick Moseley. Your recollection is correct. 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.<br clear="none">

I would suggest that the 308 Kirby tried had 'issues' and the seat wasn't all the way back.<br clear="none">

I've seen the 308 that was used in Magnum PI; they had to cut the floorpan and bolt the seat to the floor and Tom Selleck was still never really 'in' that car; his head stuck out through the top and there is no way they could fit the roof on.<br clear="none">
