Congrats on your car. It is gorgeous. It appears to be an almost twin of mine which is still en route from the port in New Jersey to California. They were probably on the same boat ! There is one advantage to living in CT ! | ||

Nice looking car, who was the your salesman? I agree, i cant tell if thats grigio alloy or titanium, but either way those, and yellow are the nicest colors for a 360. Who am i kidding...they look amazing in all colors. | ||

Congratulations Nick ! I get the rattles too but only for a few seconds on start-up. Mine is also G.Titanio and I still love the color after 18 months ! | ||

Thanks for the comments the car is "Gregio Titanio 3238" The house I bought 3 weeks ago in Redding CT. See where the money is going from the Dow? What the hell is a fishlike plate holder? Pics? I think I will keep these wheels for a while.. Nick | ||

I bet your rattle is from an exhaust valve. My M3 has one and it makes a raspy rattle until it warms up and the valve opens. I believe these devices are for emissions. | ||

I guess where you live is a determining factor on whether you get Stonegard or not. The roads around here are pretty crummy and construction trucks always leave some of their loads of gravel or dirt on the road surface. I had my bumper repainted before the Stonegard was applied. The quality is certainly much better than the original Ferrari paint job they slop on. More durable too. Have a great time with your new toy, Nick! | ||

Nick, Gorgeous car, indeed. Enjoy it in good health. Yes, I had my front bumper repainted back in December '01 and have had only one chip on it since. Previously, I was noticing a handful of them after each drive. Congratulations! | ||

I know that jealousy is an, "act of the sinful nature", but celebrating with another's joy is good for the heart. Well, I'm jealous anyway! Beautiful car. Enjoy!!! | ||

I really like the F1 tranny, much more than I thought. There is definately an art to fast smooth shifting and I change gear so much more a)because its fun and b) the sound. I decided against Stoneguard. Thought process being I intend to drive daily, Stoneguard looks annoy me a little so what the heck, new paint every year or 2. I think it was Viken who said that a respray it better quality than Ferrari paint. only 5mph on the driveway Of course I love the color..in the sun it shows a blue tint. The rattle is minor and goes when the motor is warm...I think it sounds like the clutch...I am not worried. I will check the oil Here are some more    | ||

The "rattle" is probably just the belts warming up. But also make sure you have enough oil (since it is dry sump, check when the motor is hot, IMMEDIATELY after shutting it off). Nice color combo, IMHO..... | ||

Yes, the F1 tranny is very smooth shifting, regardless of what people say. Enjoy it! What do you mean it rattles when cold? the clutch? Ernesto | ||

Picked up my car Wednesday...from Miller Motors in Greenwich. First impressions with 200 miles on clock (it is all I could do in 1/2 day...I was tired as I could not sleep the night before 1. The F1 transmission is a blast. I am actually shifting smooth 2. It is very hard to keep to 4-5000rpm as the motor just wants to go go go 3. It rattles when cold..clutch? I'll try and post pictures    |
