Guillaume:

Always welcome - this time not on the couch, but a bedroom huh?

As for Norm's color - it's quite different to the BMW LM Blue... as silly as it sounds, you have to see it in person. I was the same with Cali blue...

Norman, that has to be the prettiest "new" Ferrari I have ever seen! My new dream modern Ferrari --it even has my manual transmission! Just a gorgeous car...

Im afraid to say I will be purchasing that car from you in the future! Must be mine! :-)

Beautiful! Lemans Blue is also a widely available color on the BMW E39 M5 so it's nice for a change to see it on a exotic car! Looks very nice! I would prefer TdF blue myself though

As for the interior, I've always been impressed by the cuio interior scheme especially with a black or red exterior color!

P.S. Dan, congratulations on the 550 Maranello, sometime this summer I will be going to SB and I'll stop by the bay area to have a look at it! I have yet to sit in a V-12 Ferrari!

Le Mans Blue apparently is a non-standard factory color which is an extra cost option. The carbon fibre/aluminum racing seats are covered in another non-standard color called ... called .... Guivero (?) (spelling is probably wrong. Perhaps someone could help :-) ) It's very similar to tobacco, but not.Upload

Kuzi,

Much like TdF, only TdF is a bit lighter.

DES: I'm with you that Cali blue is the hottest color on the spider, but this LM blue is absolutely stunning on the coupe. And Norm's interior just finishes the mix. Must be seen in person to appreciate the subtle beauty (or is it so subtle, Norm? :-) ).

As for pictures - yeah yeah, I know. I'll take picts next time I see him. He's a real cutie...I mean...the car is hot... ;)

Taek-Ho, thank you - it looks great, but i'd have to see it in person, if it's as gorgeous as Dan says; if i ever get a 360 it'll either be black on black or California blue over Navy, like Tako's...

DES,

Scroll down to about the middle.

That's Norm's car.

Cheers

Dan, you gotta be kidding me - you've got a heavy set posting this without pictures...! :-)

So how 'bout it...?

Ok guys, most of you know I've never been a *huge* fan of the 360, as it looks like a different car from every angle. The Spider is better, imo, but my jaw dropped today.

I met up with Norm at FoSF for some silliness, and he showed me his Le Mans Blue 360 (what interior is it Norm? Ciuio?) - DEAR LORD.

That has to be the single most stunning color (aside from black ;) ) I've ever seen, and on the 360, it is *THE* color to have. Nothing else looks that hot, esp. the rear and rear 3/4, and honestly the spider looks bad in comparison.

Is it a custom color, or does it have a standard paint code?

Norm - you dun good! :-)
