    Well after some long thoughts on what to do about my problematic 355F1 (some of you may recall the thread on the problems I was having) I decided my best plan was to take up an offer from the dealer of a replacement car, this required more thoughts and in the end the decision was made to buy the car I originally set out to buy prior to the purchase of the GTB.

    It is a 96 F355 spider, it is a NZ new car and has 42kms on the clock, it has the twin airflow meters and I believe this would make it a 95 build? I had a new Quicksilver exhaust fitted while the major service was being done as a part of the deal. The noise (music?) this one produces is amazing, it sounds on another level to the GTB which had standard pipes. It’s a magic car, I have just redone the sticky plastic parts and now the whole car is in better condition than my last one.

    Every time I take her out it feels like an event, I love her to bits.

    Thanks Robbie. Black centres are next on the “to do” list, might look a little like yours after that. :)


    Ohh, yes, this quoting is a blatant way to increase my post count. :D

    Lucky you, ANOTHER new Ferrari!!! You had the experience of two deliveries for the price of one! Hopefully you'll have better luck with this one, enjoy.
