picked up my new 355 at the weekend.
Discussion
it's a gts F1, from tim at walker sport. firstly i'd like to thank those who recommended tim to me. a top bloke and a pleasure to deal with.
as for the car. i am amazed it took me 4 years to make the jump from my 348. whilst i loved that car and have read many posts on this and other sites extolling the virtues of 348 vs 355, my initial impressions are that the car is a massive leap forward in every aspect. i love the F1 box, the car has a capristo and whilst i dont think i'd shell out that much for an exhaust i am glad the previous owner did. that sound is amazing. apart from dynamic considerations, the interior really makes you feel like you're in a ferrari, i dont think the 348 really does that. to sum up my feelings i include my clarkson-esque thought of the weekend for your consideration. I really think that my driving a 348 for the last few years, kind of convincing myself i didnt want a 355 is akin to one having watched black and white tv for years, and then watching blue ray on a good plasma screen.

he pulled out on the day of purchase,but with valid reasons so wont be holding it against them,i was already commited to a sale and didnt have time to readervtise so asked tim if he wud want it back,and he said without a doubt! as he knows the car thru and thru,so we did a deal,albeit at less than 30k,i will be back in Fcar ownership in jan/feb time,in a 360 spider. in the mean time imsearching fora RRS supercharged as the one i was supposed to be buying has been sold 
and to reiteraite i will be dealing with tim again as he has helped me out enourmously in the past!
sure is pal i loved every mile!
I understood from another thread that you had sold it for £30k. Did the buyer pull out, or does this garage have the worst business model imaginable?
and to reiteraite i will be dealing with tim again as he has helped me out enourmously in the past!
