Golf bags with full set of clubs will fit behind the seats. Pro tour bags will not. | ||

Bill, really sweet car!!! One question, how far forward are the seats? There is more room back there than I suspected and it looks like two duffle bags would fit there. If so, this might change my whole outlook... | ||

Thanks for the comments. The 275 is still here. We had a couple of "Lookie-loos" a couple of idiots and two very lowball offers. I never "Officially" advertised it anywhere, so all in all I can't complain. For now, it is staying here. Next sunny Saturday there will be a good photo shoot with the 360 sitting beside the 275. | ||

Bill Nice photos! BTW, sometime ago you had a thread going on a 275GTB. I was curious as what happened. Regards Carmine | ||

Willis, on closing the engine cover, the sales guy told us to use the 2nd "r" in Ferrari and press with your thumb. Interesting how everyone has a different set of instructions. | ||

Interesting behind the seat picture. That '03 model has 2 pockets for stuff. My '01 has only one. When I took delivery of my car, The dealer showed me that I should press down on the area foward of the emblem to close the trunk. I do this with a detailing towel to prevent marring the surface with fingerprints. Doesn't require a lot of pressure. Just push down on the spot until the latch click. A note on closing the engine hatch. I've noticed some 360 owners slam their hatches shut. I really expect someone to crack the rear glass someday. I think a better way is to slowly lower it onto the latch then press down on the rear spoiler lip to click it close. | ||

Thanks, I sure enjoyed taking the pics. I, too, liked the interior shots. It seems we never get to see certain areas of cars in pictures so I always try to get the different pic. Here are a few more, particularly of the interior. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/zbehindseats.jpg Area behind the seats http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/zleather.jpg An angle I have never seen in magazines. It is hard for people to believe that every surface is covered in leather. That's quite a bit of hide back there. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/ztrunk.jpg Another area that is rarely photographed. I liked the new mandated latch so kidnap victims can get out. I found it awkward to open the front. When "popped" the lid barely opened enough to get a finger in, and then the trip latch was hard to find. Then, when time to close it took a, much too firm, press on the emblem to get it latched. Careless people, or owners, that don't press on the emblem could easily mar the panel trying to close it. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/znerotag.jpg paint color tag, I suppose on every car. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/zfront34.jpg just a low angle shot http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/zplenum.jpg The prototypical intake plenum shot. Suitable as a desktop background. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/zgazeinto.jpg And everyone's favorite | ||

I moved them to another host (my ISP). Let's see how long they last there. http://webpages.charter.net/wsgammon/wsgammon/May03/ Same file names so captions still (obviously) apply. Anyone have a Challenge Grill or a Tubi for sale? | ||

Paul, I'm sorry. The pics were up for about 48 hours but someone already hijacked them and burned through several gigabytes of my bandwidth. I got the notice from my webhost this morning and I had to yank them. I put up those little images to hopefully annoy anyone that linked them to a forum. I will repost them tomorrow in another directory if anyone wants to see them. Alternatively, send me an email and I will send any (or all) of the pics if you want to view them. | ||

Kenny, they are .jpg for me too. Just add .jpg to the end of the URL after it is pasted into your browser. the photo will reload and it will show you its a .jpg. I assure you I would't allow these lovingly taken photos to be saved as a bitmap. | ||

Kenny, those are .jpg. My computer just didn't append the suffix to the URLs. BMP are horrible. I have the original pics. They are .jpg and are 500-600k each. If anyone wants one. Bill | ||

Bill, no problem at all, I understand. Please post them in .jpg or .gif format, .bmp aren't soo good when they are resized and such. | ||

Kenny, wasn't picking on you but you are the only person I ever caught.  Enjoy the pics. I have some more, just need to resize them and I will get them uploaded. I'll post some more links here if nobody seems too annoyed. Oh and that's not my Granddaughter. I have some grey hair but I haven't procreated yet. One of these days. Bill | ||

Nice to see another black 360. That last picture with your granddaughter(?) checking out her reflection is classic. A little girl did the same thing with my 360 at a gas station last week. Her mom and I saw what she was doing and just smiled. The ashtray on my car isn't fastened to the central tunnel. The lid works fine but the entire unit flops around a little when opening or closing it. | ||

Spent the day with a 2003 360 on Saturday and I broke out my trusty camera. I took 90+ pics but I picked a few to share online. These have only been posted on one other place "forum" on the 'net. Unless they have already been snagged by someone you shouldn't have seen them yet. I have no control of you (Kenny and others) repost these on other forums, but if you do, please keep it to a minimum. It cost me some bucks when the last group of pics (posted here) were distributed like SARS at an airport. No, the car isn't mine and I am not representing it as such. It belongs to a close family friend and I will, most likely, be the one left to take care of it (wash, etc.) so I may be coming here for advice. Hope you like the pics, it sure was fun taking them. ____________________________ http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zoverhead Overhead http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zrear34 Rear 3/4 view http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zrearengine http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zinterior1 http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zdashplaque Is this 2003 only? http://www.billgammon.com/images/May03/zbrokenpiece Already broken ashtray door.
