He's "t2_996420" on this forum

Here's a link he posted previously about the work he's had done on his car........

Sounds pretty minimal if you ask me
AND, He says he tracks it ~6 to 10 times per year too!

A neurosurgeon I occasionally work with has a white 01TT with over 100K. it is running strong with no issues. He has a protomotive tune and exhaust. He loves his DD and prefers it over his bentley.

Man i wish i had the confidence to do that instead I use a lexus to tote the kids around in.

My cousin has a 2001' with 103,000 miles. Car runs perfect and looks great to. He just drove it from NJ to Texas about a month ago with no problems. The only two things he had to do was a clutch and the radiators because they started to leak. The car is truly amazing! There is no other super car that could every break 100k!

I doubt many Ferrari owners push their cars very high in mileage (would be interesting to hear from one though).
I don't know about the more recent Ferraris (from 430 and till today), but older models aren't very famous for reliability and livability as a daily driver, those with the F1 gearboxes are terrible maintenance wise, with clutches frying after several thousand miles (info from The Collection here in Miami) and other problems.

Exactly, my buddy has a 360 F1, he drove under 1500miles in couple yrs, but he spent over 20000 for the maintenance...

Yes, and the Ferrari owner's general problem is that they dont' drive the damn cars enough not to get problems. I read Fchat a lot, and it seems most the problem free guys are the ones who drive at least 4k miles a year. Granted, there are weakspots with all the F models, and none of them are cheap to fix/maintain, but no exotics are.

Someone posted this, don't know who - here it is:
That's 300k MILES not Kilograms T2 has there... He had an extensive writeup if you use that friendly search thingy.

p.s. I know it is Kilometers not grams, but grams wuz funnier.
