Could be a PH record, I'm not sure I've seen a big purchase decision made within 5 pages! Looks fantastic enjoy it mate
Also 5 days from first thinking about it to buying one! smile

I do tend to move quickly when I want something, if you haven't seen this and fancy something to absorb your time then have a look at this!

That was super fast!

I enjoyed reading your thread about the swimming pool during your 3 week instalation time frame, very impressive and I'm not at all jealous that I don't have a swimming pool during lock down!

Ah, I didn't know you had seen it.

It was great fun doing that thread and I made many new friends here from it.

Yes, lock down is not much of a hardship right now and I do feel very fortunate! biggrin

One more, from the road looking in (whilst the gates are open)!

Have a great weekend everyone. smile

Hi Julian. That looks really nice. Having both been down the same car route I suspect the DB9 and Bentley days are numbered. The 360 is much more of a drivers car...

Hi David, I trust all is well with you mate.

Cheers! It is interesting that we have both gone down the same car route!

I still love my Aston and Bentley, but I will pick up the Ferrari keys every time I can! biggrin

Cheers, I thought so too! smile

It was going to come with the car but the previous owner changed his mind.

My new plate in actually on the car with the old 360 ETA plate stuck on top with sticky pads.

Once I get the doc from DVLA for the new plate I will just take the old plate off and remove any sticky residue.

Exactly mate!

Or more specifically:

Rainy days = Bentley

Dull days = Aston Martin

Sunny dyas = Ferrari

3 weeks into ownership and I can confirm the Rosso Scuderia is indeed red! hehe

For anyone else new to this, in the very early morning it does have a slight orange tone, but I have found when the sun is up it is a strong bright red and in the shade a deep bright red.

So the light makes a big difference.

So I am very happy with it in Rossa Scuderia, but I would have been equally happy with Rossa Corsa.

Fantastic and engaging to drive too. More old school in all senses (including classic Ferrari lines IMHO) in what I consider to be a very good way, but still modern enough.

Interestingly, I have had a look and can't see a similar spec/colour combo/mileage car available for the price I paid for mine, so result! biggrin

Lovely car & colour combo!

How are you getting on with the F1 box?

I had an F1 F430 followed by a 458 & on reflection... I preferred the clunkier 430 ‘box as I felt it was more engaging in a mechanical way. Gave a more interactive driving experience overall.

I am really enjoying it but finding it does need a proper warm up before you can get the best out of.

Guessing this is normal!

"Engaging in a mechanical way" is a spot of description of the 360 too and one of the reasons I went for it.
