I'm finally the owner of a Ferrari

[AndyTR]

So, 30 odd years after putting a poster of a 250 GTO on my bedroom wall I've finally done the man maths and bought a Ferrari. This was ultimately something of a compromise, it's not a 250 GTO. It's not a manual either...but I love it.

The noise is just sublime...it's mechanical at low revs and just sings past 5000 rpm. The F1 box is brilliant, once you get used to it (read the manual) and I'm not sure I'd prefer the manual. The driving position is odd, but doesn't detract from the experience. More to follow, but some pics of my pride and joy!

Well done you....

Stunning - enjoy !

[Teocali]

Congratulations!

Looks absolutely stunning - hope you enjoy (and can we have some engine bay shots!)

[Buzz-100]

Congratulations! Beautiful car and the right colour combo imo

[Astacus]

It looks the dog's Andy. I love the styling, and miss it, frankly.

[Tickle]

Congratulations, this is what PH should be about.

[Spantney]

Beautiful! Be sure to enjoy it

My old superior had a 360, he said people would come up to him and say 'whats it underneath?'

I used to say it was just jealousy

Congratulations! Looks lovely, I'm interested to know what's odd with the driving position.

well done , too many people scrimp and save for old age and end up scared to spend any money , life is too short to not have what you want if you can afford it, congratulations, enjoy it.

At 6'3" I've been a passenger in one of these and it was fine but not been in the drivers seat.

[Krikkit]

Beautiful cars - the 360 is definitely under-rated.

[JackReacher]

Fantastic, well done! Look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

[LordGrover]

Huzzah!
Congrats and Merry Christmas.

Well done to you, sir! Great when dreams are realised. Hopefully Santa brings you a GoPro and you can give us all the tour.
