Mark Evans

- restores a Ferrari 308 GTBi - the Italian stallion - Ferrari's classic 2 seater sports coupe. The stonking 3 litre V8 engine is hauled out and rebuilt, the leather interior undergoes a complete overhaul and 19 old layers of paint are stripped off the shell which is then repainted what else but Ferrari red.

Amanda Stretton

- shares her racing driver skills with Galaxy FM DJ Graeme Park at a Ferrari Owners Club Track Day at Silverstone - takes a trip to Ferrari 'Mecca' Maranello - home of the Ferrari factory in Northern Italy. Tradition has it that you kiss the prancing horse (the Ferrari logo) at the factory gate. There are prancing horses everywhere - even sprinkled in chocolate on her cappuccino!

Ferrari lend her their latest model - a Modena 360 - to take for a spin around the hills.
She also visits San Diego to meet the 40-something Lebanese orthopaedic surgeon who owns the most famous Ferrari 308 ever ... the original Magnum car from the TV series, he's even bought the numberplate MAG PI.
