My First Ferrari

[blueg33]

Picked up my 360 from Furlonger yesterday. 4 hour drive home so I am starting to get to know it a little. What a brilliant car! It’s 19 years old but the performance is intoxicating.

I can’t fault Furlonger, they were superb, did a long list of work to the car do I have nothing to worry about immediately. The did everything from full service with belts, through new air con compressor to ashtray spring and new wheel bolts.

Looking forward to getting to know the car properly.

That's one stunning 360 and looks like it left the factory only last week..

It’s done 40k miles

Congrats once again, looks great and I hope she brings you many miles and many smiles.

Make sure to wave at your fellow Ferrari owners if you see any about!

Thanks. Conscious, that I need to reply to your email, got caught up sorting daughter’s a level results and university place.

It doesn’t fit in my garage (I knew it wouldn’t mainly due to junior’s machine tools.

Carcoon on order, village bring canvassed to see if anyone has an unused garage. (I was renting one before but the owner sold his house)

Put Junior’s machine tools in a shed...

Actually trying to rent him a small industrial unit! Shed is not big enough for lathes, pillar drills, bending roller, huge work bench, large tesla coils (dont't ask), coil winding equipment, HV transformers, large electric welders etc

But, I don't think my garage door is wide enough for the 360, I will have about 5mm clearance on either side.....

Beautiful car!

Do you still have the Alpine GTA?

Thanks. The GTA has gone to s new home, I had run out of space. Jayemm reviews my actual car on his YouTube channel albeit after the current owner had made further improvements. I did a lot to bring it into good condition. The new owner gave it more power and nicer seats etc.

Do you prefer the 360 to the Evora? How are you getting on with the F1 gearbox?

I'm loving my 360 F1 but can't drive it so much now due to the crap weather.

Thanks for the write up on TLFs by the way.

In reality I need to drive the Ferrari more as I have had Evoras for the last 6 years and used them as a daily driver so am very familiar with them, I am less familiar with the Ferrari.

F1 gearbox is ok, I really like it when driving hard, less so in traffic jams, slow speed maneuvering and around town when it is jerky and annoying the IPS Evora was much better!

In summary though, I think I like them equally but wish the Ferrari had a rear camera and parking sensors that the Lotus had
