I have to think about that one a bit. I would at first scream place the
250 GTO in the first category, maybe the California but probably
strictly the GTO. Second category, I would agree with your choice but
still linger over the F40 - then hope for a "Luxury Grand Touring"
sub-category so I could stick the F575M in there. Racing - I totally
agree on that one, though I have a weak spot for the 512s and also for
the 333SP. Open - I agree.

OK, so line me up and shoot me for a couple of those - it's a free
world. And I've been told that my lithium-reinforced body repels bullets.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck
Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

Seconded. The '58 post-pontoon is right up there.

You've got to admit, the 308 is really just the first draft of the
288.

Too "one-off".

No, I see it as the 308 taken to its logical extreme!

A "ten off" actually. :-)

T308
(Who actually agrees with "The Goodness" on the 288 but can't help being
a "Homer" for the 308...)

A distinction without difference?

Now that I think about it, there's only about 35-40 of the 212
Barchettas. Too "Thirty-off!"
