My first Ferrari

[SgtErnestBilko]

Where else can I post this without appearing to be a show off !!!

Since a boy I've always wanted one and yesterday I took delivery of a 360 Spyder F1.

For the last 36 hours I have not been able to get rid of this stupid smile - I must look a complete tt !!

I just can't explain how brilliant it is to drive my new baby. Its the sound, its the look, its the gear change between 3rd and fourth flat out, its the down change in sports mode......... etc etc but then lots of you know that already.

How can we share in your excitement if you can't even share a pic or too.

Congrats by the way.

You wanted a 360 Spyder F1 since you were a boy, so how old are you now, have you left school yet?

Congrats Bilko, have fun!

tee hee - I wanted a Ferrari since I was a boy.
Pictures coming soon - I've been too busy giving joy rides to friends to take any pictures.

Congratulations! Looks superb. Sounds like your enjoying the whole experience and driving it how its meant to be driven

Stories like these really do encourage me to work that little bit harder. One day...

Don't suppose it was you heading down the A14 towards Huntingdon at about 7:45 on Monday morning... Saw a red 360 spyder heading which gave my morning a kick start...

[SgtErnestBilko]

It was me !!!!

Glad it put a smile on your face, it keeps putting one on mine !

Awesome.... It's brilliant seeing someone this excited!

When the day comes that I take ownership of one (a few years to go) I think I'll be the same. Can imagine that I'll probably sleep out in the garage over night.

Have you got any other cars? Am I going to see you most mornings?

Great car, great post. Congrats. Sums up perfectly how I feel two weeks into my first Ferrari! Think I've got lock jaw from grinning so much. One question though - how DO people end up with low mileage Ferraris??? At this rate it's going to be the highest mileage car in my garage! Amazing combination of so so easy to use but so so special ALL the time - fast or slow! Enjoy.

That looks good,

actually it looks remarkably like my old car, is it an 02 with custom navigation?
