Ferrari 360's in Edinburgh

[alex020869]

I posted in the Ferrari section but thanks to M1 KEY i was informed to post here too.

I am looking for any 360 owners in or around Edinburgh. I have decided to make the dream come true and make the step into Ferrari ownership in the future and looking for any meets or get-togethers that i could attend for a bit of insight and advice into ownership by the people who live with them day to day.

I would rather have owners give me their experiences face to face rather than surf the internet for advice, plus this would allow me view these cars in the flesh.

Thanks in advance guys.

Is there not a FoC run this weekend? Perhaps someone could tell you the meeting point and you could talk to a few owners there?

I tried to have a look for that but i can't make it anyway.
I'm hoping there are others i can attend in the future.

Thanks anyway mate.

There are four F430 owners in Edinburgh that I am aware of - I'm one of them... However not sure about 360...

As others have suggested, FOC meets are your best bet.

You could also try contacting Phil at PK Supercars (http://www.pksupercars.com) nr Cockenzie to have a chat to someone knowledgeable and helpful about the realistic servicing/maintenance costs involved and advice on what to look for and what look out for.

Wow Alex I hope you do this!

I have met Alex before and confirm he is a good guy! and allowed me around his car before I bought mine.

There was a chap who came on a PH run with a silver 360 modena - dont know his name/username however

There is a FOC run this weekend though the start is an hour and a half from Edinburgh. If you want more details PM me. There is a FoC run in Fife in 5 weeks time with 45+ cars expected so that might be another option.

Is the light blue one still for sale in Lothian? Can't remember the dudes name, he owns Top Gear cars or something?

Think that gulf/eggshell blue one is sold again now. Been across Carlo's (top gear) forecourt at least once but wasn't his own car. My old TDF Blu 360 is currently at Carlo's though if you want a closer look at one - sure Carlo would spare time to discuss ownership with you.

Hiya Ben,
I've been thinking about getting one for a long time now so it might be time to do it. I'll keep you posted on developments though.

Thanks for al the advice guys. I will nip up to Top Gear cars and have a look at the blue one and speak to Carlo. Will be nice to see one in the flesh. I'll also call Phil and get an idea about servicing etc.

Thanks again for all your help.
