Ferrari 360-Will it fit in the garage or leave on the drive?
Discussion
Hoped I could ask for some advice (yes another 360 prospective owner I hear you groan)!
I've been hankering over a 360 for some time and potentially look to buy next summer.
Two questions
My first question is realistic garage space required for the car. We spent 3 yrs looking for a house with a garage, now has come the time to develop the property and either use the garage as intended or use the space for other things (boring utility room, extra loo etc).
Currently there's a wall splitting the garage in two (front half with original garage doors, back half a study) so I can't do a test fit!
Garage dimensions 4960mm length, 2500mm width wall to wall. Current garage door opening 2120mm.
Published figures for car dimensions are 4480mm length, 1923mm width.
Am I being realistic, thinking it'd fit without being stupidly tight - I'm 6ft 3 so the door will need to open a reasonable amount to get out.
Saw a recent picture of a 360 in a smallish garage on the forum, but just thought I'd get opinions from any current owners.
Second question - the alternative, leaving the car (assume spider) on a gated driveway. Can these cars really cope with being left outside in the UK weather, with/without a car cover? I've read about mould appearing in the front boot from cars being left outside, as the seals arent great, understand they're a lot different to regular mass produced cars.
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
Happy motoring,
Tim

Guys, this is brilliant, absolutely priceless examples!
The car will be an F1 spider, so I couldnt push her into the garage, but a fair suggestion.
I'm impressed they're as resistant as exampled living outside, especially even in the snow (minus the cat pee)!
The example garage photos have really helped too, being 2.5m, means an extra 10 inches to the posted pics. Garage pictures = evidence to explain to the wife! The more the better!
Really appreciate everyone's comments - great forum and members.
Cheers,
Tim
