I drove the three cars in view here. The 308 and 365 I drove back to the owners shop last night around 10 pm several miles from the Sycamore Hills Country Club.

By far my favorite was the 365. The light switches are so strange on these older Ferraris. I had to have someone point out that you roll the left lever "Lights" forward to get the lights on, even then both the 365 and 308 dash lights would not come on for several minutes after the head lights were on and the car was running. [Edit I guess that is really how most modern cars are, twist lever to turn on, but it seemed strange on that lever.]

I was afraid of stalling these cars, but I amazed even myself and got them off the fairways without stalling or spinning the tires.

The 308 had a crazy inside door handle, it was hidden underneath the doors arm rest and the 365 had side windows, but I could not figure out how to lower them. That remains a mystery to me.

I liked driving the 308, but I definitely did not like stiffness of the clutch, or the crazy tight space the clutch, brake and gas peddles occupied. More than a couple of times I hit the brake before I could feel the gas peddle. My feet are only size 10-1/2!
