I have a 308 GTSi. Loving this series! Mine is in great shape but I'm learning so much about every nitty gritty part of these cars. Thanks so much for the videos.

That felt like a talk show! "It's the Project 308 Show with Lou Trottier. Today, Lou welcomes guest 'Previous Owner Rob." Now you just a need a musical guest. Looking forward to S2E2. Cheers!:)

[oldanslo]

Nice time to step back for a big picture look at the car.

[marcmessmer]

Two great mechanics talking Ferrari 308. I love it.
The 912 backdrop is perfect.

Great episode Lou . Nice to get some history on the car .

[georgesbonellodupuis]

Great update Lou. Some more history learnt. Looking forward to Season 2 :)

[themessenger]

"Season 2"...oh Lou, how posh ! Cheers mate.

[benjaminbinon]

Hi Lou agree with you concerning that a '66 Porsche is technically preciser and better engineered than that 308 ;-)... wonderful video's. I'am enjoying every minute of it.

[sylvainr.]

Lou and Rob…together! My two favorite Canadian car people! Lou bought the Ferrari from Rob, I bought the Lotus 15 project from Rob! It all has to come together at some point! Good to see you guys!!!

This is the episode I was very interested in watching just so I could hear the question and answer to, " Do you regret selling the car ?".

[patrickdixon]

The thing is Lou, you're a really good presenter and the episodes are well made. Obviously, Terry is the big star.

BTW, you do know I copyrighted that 308 episodes thing, don't you?

Just keep doing what you're doing.

I think there are head-mount video cameras available now; that would make your life much easier than trying to look around a camera. (They clip on glass temple-pieces.)

woooo is that an eldorado ragtop I see in the background? yummy! I had a bedroom on the 3rd floor of a building overlooking the parking lot. I watched one park next to my F150 4 x 4 crew cab. IT WAS LONGER lololol

Just on the "are you enjoying it"? You have to, otherwise it will be an albatross. There's a guy on youtube, vtuned, who completely dismantled a McLaren 720s and transferred everything to a new tub. (because his was toast). He documented everything by pictures to put it back together and he stopped for a while because he just got tired of all the fiddley bits and constantly needing this part or that part and hooking this wire up properly and that wire up properly. He's like 99% there and the last 1% is the hardest.

You HAVE to enjoy the process on something like this. (and have the time and money to do it properly). Otherwise it turns into "work".

I think that is what happens to SO many people when they take on a project like this. It doesn't matter if it's a house, a car, a bike, or a scooter. I think that's why you see so many basket cases. Nick's Garage got a hemi challenger that was literally a basket case. The car was completely dismantled and literally in boxes and baskets. He finished and it is in fraking credible.

Glad you're the guy to do it and you're enjoying the process.
