Nice car sir!....that's a challenge rear grill you have by the way - the normal one would be a solid body coloured panel.

Love the Cuoio Natural Leather interior, quite rare in the UK, not everyones cup of tea but much nicer than Cream and more individual than Black.

It's beautiful. I really like what you've said about Ferraris. I hope there is something there, perhaps just something untenable that marks them out from other cars. Hope you enjoy it, very jealous.

Your man maths must be phd level!

If you go out and unexpectedly buy a 360 spider....

I can just imagine the conversation...

"just popping out for a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk!"

"okay, see you in 5"

• 2 hours later return with said bread and milk in your 360 shopping trolley

"I picked up a Ferrari down at the shop too, it was a good deal"

.......

Very jelly. Don't like the colour combo with the red carpets though. Think it might *just* work with black carpets....

Well done

Your 360 looks really amazing. That is my ultimate dream car and I will own one before I grow old! Have you ever considered changing the exhaust for an aftermarket one with a sports cat? Seen a few on youtube with fulll capristo systems which are just pure audio pornography

Sure the sound will be fantastic in the open air - my wife bought me an experience day driving a F430 and even inside the cockpit the engine noise was unreal.

I like the approach of very standard daily driver then second car that you really really want. The way forward I think!

Enjoy!!!!

Ah, well thanks for the comments, really.

If any of you see me about flag me down for a ride.

There's a lot of trepidation taking on something like this. But it's helped if you know that other people enjoy it too.

Yes, this is exactly right. There really is something different and it's not the badge or the image. I read all the magazines, watch the TV shows, so I know that a GTR, 997TT, M5 or something else can be cheaper to run and go faster on a track. But I've been lucky enough to passenger in a few Ferraris before now and every time something feels special. It's the vibrations, the noises and the feel and feedback. They feel great even at 5mph. They feel and feed back like a Lotus Elise. And the ride/handling! The way they float above the road!

Thanks for enlightening me as to interior colour. I love cream but this works too. Black doesn't seem right, not on a red car at least.

Ah yes, I didn't know this until it was pointed out to me. Apparently worth a lot.

Seriously thanks, and free rides to all PHers! (I'm going to regret that aren't I)

YouTube is addictive when you have an Italian sports car...I bought a GTV V6 (I too aspire to a prancing horse) & the clips on the web of sports exhausts are like a strong fever. Clips of 360s with Tubi/Capristo exhausts will get you reaching for your credit card, unless you manage to find a second hand one on the net - a lot of people now seem to take them off for resale apparently and yo have th car in stock condition
