As title, collecting a peach of a 360 spider sat morn, (03) rossa/nero, manual. 170 mile drive home too! Mostly m4 back to wales. Never felt like this before awaiting collection. Your thoughts?

You may need to go and see a doctor after a few days as your face will be aching from all the smiling you'll be doing.

i picked mine up in june 2007 and i still cant remove the grin from my face when i drive it.

bring it out on a few runs and enjoy the whole experience.....the bottom line is drive it!

Its such an experience, I built myself up on the morning I picked my 355 up by watching all the old top gear reviews on it!

And dont worry, on something like that, the newness never wears off!

Make sure you post some pics when you've picked her up!

Fantastic stuff. My spider has been in the garage since the end of November and I am counting the sleeps until I get back out there. For me, manual is the way to go. Enjoy every moment.

Every minute in my F355 is a special event.

And for many pedestrians and other road users too.

Next week, I drive 900 miles in a single day in it - cannot wait.
