Ferrari California
Discussion
Colour of this car is stunning,contrast with the interior is spot on.It's also nice to see a car look just as good with the roof up ,the line of it flows perfectly with the overall shape of the car and doesn't look like an 'afterthought' piece of design. The customer service from your dealer sounds amazing,for once it does seem with them that you absolutely get what you pay for.
I like the fact that you're an owner that keeps pinching himself every time he lifts the garage door up and sees what he's managed to get for himself,you sound like a down to earth fella who obviously genuinely appreciates what he has.Great car and a nice story behind it!

I'm toying with buying a California. I owned a 360M for 8 years and loved it, and sold it at 35k miles. I regret it now
Love the blue colour - very classy.
I've hired a red 360 to test it before buying and owned a black one. Had nothing but abuse while driving the red one and nothing but kind comments in the black one!

That's exceptional customer engagement by the dealer, glad you and your family enjoyed it so much! It's lovely to feel that a company is focused on building up something special in the long term, rather than simply trying to get the most pounds and pence out of each customer today.
It has been superb - and I’m fully aware I’ve probably bought in the ‘cheapest’ way possible, but they don’t make me feel any different to the customer who was collecting his Purosangue on return from Italy and had a car collection that I couldn’t believe! That sort of brand relationship would definitely keep me swayed towards Ferrari over another manufacturer. BEAMS 162 said:

You’ve summed it up perfectly: I hope the feeling of pinching myself never goes away. Genuinely a proper dream to have a Ferrari and I wish I could have told 17 year old me it would happen one day!

Ferrari have really cracked how to be a big company that feels like a small one looking after their customers-they really do treat them as they should be.
There is a lot offered to the owners. When I bought mine I was told I could download the Ferrari app which becomes your customer portal. It has all the info on your car (handbook, services, warranties etc) but has weekly updates of different events to attend. Most of them are very expensive (ie. Driving tours of Sicily, attendance at Le Mans as a guest) but they are constantly booked so must be a lot of people actually using their cars for these things - and good on them. Wish I could do the Le Mans one but can’t justify the price. 2 Porsche Family said:

If I’d fit in the manual 360 Spider I went to see then I’d probably have bought it (that was a black one with cream interior and Daytona seats). Love the blue colour - very classy.

I’m really happy I went with the blue on this car but would like a red Ferrari at some point. I just didn’t want a red California as for me it didn’t suit the car - but fully appreciate that colour is subjective, as my Pearl yellow TVR divided a lot of opinion! Interestingly, with your car history, my Boxster was the only car I ever got abuse in! A shame, as an awesome car!!
