I just got back! It was a beautiful day and there were 11 Ferrari's displayed on the marketsquare. But.... I forgot my camera!  Nevertheless I had a real good time. Ton  | ||

So true! Tomorrow I will go to a meeting of the Flemish Ferrari friends at Roeselare. We will display the cars on the marketsquare. I will post some pics later. Ton | ||

idle at 1000 is normal, driving regularly over 4000 is a must! :-) trevi | ||

Marc, On my recent drive to the UK one of the car's HT leads got singed on the exhaust manifold and I had to run on 7 cylinders for a while. It was interesting to note that even on 7 cylinders, the car continued to idle at 1,000 RPM. Cheers, MARK | ||

Hi Marc, I have not noted the RPM at 60-70 kph but when in 5th I frequently find myself reaching for a higher gear that isn't there! I have also thought that a 6th gear would be great. Cheers, MARK | ||

Do all Ferrari's generally rev high at normal cruising speeds? Mine idles at around 1,000 which is normal, but at relatively low speeds (60/70kph)it is idling as high as 4,000rpm in top gear - sounds like it needs a sixth gear! It doesn't affect the way the car drives (although I have little to go on in the way of comparisons, my last car having been an automatic BMW coupe), but I wondered if this sounds normal? |
