It's 30 years since I owned a 246 Dino and anyway the problem I experienced was one which seemed to afflict high-performance cars in general, not just Ferraris. But it was that whenever I could only drive around the city for more than a couple of weeks, the engine would start to run very rough. It was easily enough taken care of with a late-night run up a motorway, but still a pain.
Owning that car was the fulfillment of a 10-year-old dream and the car itself was everything I expected. But I lived in London then and once the novelty wore off, the attention became tiresome, driving it in traffic most of the time was hard work and I really didn't enjoy being constantly in other drivers' blind spots. After about 6 months I replaced it with an XJ12 and drove Jaguars right up until I moved to the US a few years ago: not near as good for posing or having some fun when the law wasn't looking, but an all-around much better car to use every day.
