After only a few hours sleep last night due to the sheer anticipation, I took delivery at 0830hrs this morning a 360 Challenge Stradale!!! Haven't felt that excited about a car since I got my first Exige S1 and I guess I've always been chasing that feeling - well up until today I'd never reached that high - that was until I caught a glimpse of the trailer with the CS grinning out of the front; I haven't stopped smiling since smile

It was my first drive in a Ferrari too, so it makes it all the more special that it's now mine - I simply love the car and came over all watery eyed at 6k rev's in a local tunnel - here are a few clips - Mrs Duggan behind the wheel:

Thanks Guys - it really is something else to drive around and has that specialness in everything about it.

It's a shame I didn't have a camera on me to capture my Dad's face when he saw it today and when I took my Uncle out for a spin - they're both used to my car-nut ways, but have never been in anything like the CS!

Not sure about the lack of the stripe - it's a talking point, given the £3.5k cost of it, but for me it had to be straight Rosso Scuderia cloud9

Bloody Awesome! Been dreaming about one of those recently. Been have evil thoughts of blowing my savings (and my Tax money) on one. Stupid for me to do, but its exactly what I would do given the chance. Perfect looking car.

You bought a car without having driven one before? Not even a test drive?

its that 4th shot looking over the rear end that gets me going, it looks like the best car ever built from that angle...but then at every other angle its hard to argue different.

Please for all the men that will never, ever have the chance of owning a car like that, have enough fun for us all in it! and enjoy the fk out of it!

Brilliant! Would not have slept at all myself, and to have it delivered in that way unbelievably cool. Really pleased for you.

I would have been round and taken everyone for a ride if they wanted it or not! Enjoy every minute.

Hope to see you on a hoon soon?

The sale was subject to a test drive......but given my head / heart % split, it wasn't a tough job.
