I finally picked up my new toy today, a bright speed yellow Carrera 2 facelift from Maranello in Egham. I must say driving one of these cars is totally awesome and I have only had 90 minutes in the car so far, mostly in the damp and the dark so couldn't dare push too hard.
Can I just say a massive thanks to all you PH'ers who had the patience to field my daft questions. Thanks to Vesuvius and BLKROKT who won me over on the benefits of getting the warranty, thanks to GT 3 for being friendly and special thanks to my mate Andy Tims for all his advice and getting me into this in the first place.
Going to bed with the car in the garage is equivalent to having Keira Knightley in your wardrobe......hhmmmm

How did you find dealing Maranello? and what salesman did you deal with?
I only ask because I used to be the used car sales manager there, and not been in there for about 18 months.
I looked at a 996 GT3 there recently at Egham. Kinda summed up Ferrari for me, too much glitz and bling. Tried to do a deal, sorry sir thats the price, 2 days after I got my GT3 it was 2k cheaper, roll of the dice I guess. The car was a good un though.I only ask because I used to be the used car sales manager there, and not been in there for about 18 months.
Cheers Guys.
I found Maranello very professional to deal with and the car was absolutely the best example I had seen in 3 to 4 months at a very reasonable price with the Porsche warranty thrown in.
The sales guys I dealt with was Sil Ojalla, very personable and professional and he did do me a deal knocking £950 off the price.
Would definitely go there again and the expresso was as good as OPC Reading, although the bird in OPC Reading is more fit....

I'm a petrolhead like we all are on this forum and I always get a warm feeling when I hear that another PHer picks up a car and gets squidgy and warm about their new P&J.
I know I will when my 6 month wait is over (2 mths to go
)
And yes... in advance, I thank everyone that put up with the daft questions, didn't immediately say, 'SEARCH!', and share the love of cars.
Very happy for you mate - may you enjoy her (and all that sail in her - hehe).
