Just want to say, Ive not driven my 355 Spider in a month and decided to come to work in it today.... OMG!!! Anybody that says the the 355 is not that quick is talking total crap!

It kind of brings back if you should use them everyday or not, and I'd say not, because when you get in a supercar like the 355 after a while of driving normal cars, it feels so special in every way.

I've got the biggest grin on my face again now, and Ive owned the car for nearly a year now, but it still holds that newness, its looks, its power, its noise (enhanced with a Tubi) and the prancing horse staring back from the steering wheel.

F355 is the best supercar ever made.

Sorry for such a random post, but I'm just in such an excited mood after driving her again, I couldn't help but share it.

Roof down and warm beany on by any chance?

I'll probably be using mine everyday next week as Talkwrench is giving the BM a good servicing and check up.

Shame my journey is less than 2 miles!

We must be lucky up north today then, roads were dry, not grit or salt on them either.

Sadly couldn't find my beany, and it was a bit dark when I first got the car out so didn't bother with the roof. Thought I would save that for the journey home... which is supposed to be 12 miles, but may be longer!

Hey Al, why dont you just set off earlier and take a longer route. Those roads near you must be crying out for some attention in the early hours?

I am sitting here, grinning now, at the prospect of breaking out the Lambo this weekend (after about 3 weeks off!) or getting the Esprit back imminently.

The Veyron is the fastest, but not necessarily the best. For starters its bloody ugly!

Do it! Get one of them out for a blast. I just had to nip out of work for a decently valid reason (not really), and ofcourse I had to take the 355. Even in the pouring rain its still got me grinning so much again.

And whats better is I only have another half an hour until I go home, so its all warmed up and ready to go for the extended trip home!

At least it doesn't have 70's flip up lights though...

Thanks Milf smile Although I still need to change the colour of the stripe on the wall ... it was done in anticipation of a Mauritius Blue 850 sitting there!

The way to look at it is like this IMO. A 1971 Ferrari 312 F1 race car is still known today as an F1 car.
So the best supercar in the world (F355) in 1999 is still known as a supercar.
