You know i have been for a blast in my Testarossa this morning with 7000 on the clock gave it some stick like you do, F***ing alternator belt snaps takeing the A/C belt with it F***ing ELL!! But you know me zed it has 140ish on the clock and apart from the belt snapping last week which is now fixt,i have never woried about getting home or travaling great distances,it has always started every morning for the last two years and has never brocken down,it ticks over as sweet as a pussy without a murmer.Surely this has to be one of the sweetest engines around.As far as my two Ferraris go i love them dearly but they are so f***ing tempremental having to have cambelt changes every three miles:D and at huge cost,and they are classed as high mileage if over 25000 miles.From my own personal expereance the 300ZX engine is one of the most reliable and robust around may be on par with the german stuff. Sorry you had to read this pissed of post but i am very pissed of today with the Italian crap!!! :mad: F**K it i think i will go out for a blast in me Z.........

not just the cars then, as an engineer we used to cringe at the sight of any equipment with a made in italy stamp on it, you know its gonna be crap. Then again, i'd still have a ferrari, count yourself very lucky that u can afford them!!!

Scoops you dont even want to know about my MV AGUSTA,Italian art i dare not use, now i understand the saying "be careful what you wish for":D
