I've finally got it!

[turbobungle]

I've finally got it! My 'new' Ferrari F355 Spider! 1998/R in Rosso Corsa with Crema leather, full ITO exhaust system, Gruppe M Chip and Carbon Fibre air box, AP Racing 6 pots with 355mm drilled discs! Fk me it sounds good! (And Fking loud!). It's not as quick as my Supra but it all feels spot on (steering, brakes, handling etc.) and its surprising controllable when it starts to slide. I love it! You can see it here:

On a different note, I was told to check the oil when the engine is hot because of the dry sump, but do I need to leave the engine running while I do it or turn it off? Please help!

Cheers

Bungle

Superb.

The High Street will love the Sounds when you drive down those cobbled roads !
What a stunning Car !

Be careful driving down the Esplanade though Bungle.There are shed loads of Potholes on that road mate.

Good on ya

Most potholes gone these days, still bumpy at the castle end though!

From your website pics of your cars, especially the Supra, you appear to be a complete and certifiable loon Sir ... Welcome!

Always did like those Supras

Glad you are enjoying it - I did get your text but was away over Xmas - hope you can check oil ok....

[turbobungle]

Yep, i'm loving it! Hows the 550?

Its fantastic thanks..... just silly amounts of grunt, but lovely to just cruise around in at the same time...makes commuting a great pleasure !

[turbobungle]

I bet it is! So, do they slide as well as i've heard or haven't you found out yet?

Congrats, quite possibly my favourite looking car.

It is quite simply, automotive art and when it comes on cam, pure rapture.

Seeing my first F430 today, although undeniably striking, it lacks the 355's effortless, visual finesse.

Just perfect.

I totally agree which is why i grin like a cheshire cat every time i open the garage!

Only the Countach/Diablo/Murcielago possesses the same ability to stop me dead in my tracks and illicit a curious cooing sound from the back of my throat.

Actually, that 456 does, too but the 355 eclipses that so...bibble.

[basher]

took it to Goodwood 4 days after buying it adn had the race instructor there take me round itn it...sublime handling, easy to control the tail when it starts to slide out ..really impressed with it considering how much bigger and heavier it is than the 355 I am so used to..... actually feels a smaller car once it is going hell for leather...


Also nice not having to try and bribe officials to get it on the track as it is only 103dB !!!! Unlike yours !! ;-))
