    Here's a gaggle of 360's parked in front of a service shop in Toronto this morning - more inside - likely more being serviced here than at FoO! LOL

    The long way home
    That full length stripe looks terrible on the Challenge Car...

    Which garage is this? Daytona? One of our F-Chatter's?

    I still can't figure out how Steve can fit all those cars there!!! There were 3 Challenge cars there the other day getting fixed.

    It's the shop that's joint with Caliber. Steve. He's a cool guy. I havent been there in years so I am sure he won't remember me. I met him during my stint at Caliber doing sales. That was the exact point when I caught the Ferrari bug. Now I am a whor* on this chat site!

    Totally agree...takes all the "exotica" out of this vehicle. Sort of like a bunch of naked females at a nudist campm lose their "erotica":)...

    I think my Mondial has more sex appeal than a 360

    1. I see...there is somebody here that has more courage than me! :)

    2. But the Yaris with Borla exhaust (as driven by someone on this board) beats them all...

    Forza Motoring on the Queensway in Toronto attached to Calibre auto - Steve

    There were a bunch more inside on hoists, more Ferraris, 3 lambos, some muscle cars, a few Porsches, including race cars, Bentleys - unbelievable !

    He gets them all in every night - this day seems to be an overabundance of 360's - will get another shot of inside and post it.

    It's a rental, it's in and out often - it's funny to hear what people do to it - this time, I beleive, someone was power shifting with it - with all that horsepower and grip, the weakest link gives way. The motor and tranny were out and they were working in the shifter/tranny area - didn't pay too much attention.

    I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes, and last night I did!

    I went out for dinner downtown with friends and got driven around town in their 1975 365 GT4 2+2. Virtually everyone who was from the era of this Ferrari literally stopped in their tracks to point and stare, even while it was parked in the lot at Harbour Square. As we walked past it along the boardwalk there was an older fellow who maybe spent a good 5 minutes walking around it looking inside then finally getting in his minivan and driving away. A good chance he was casing it but not likely as it was still there 3 hours later when we left. Unbelievable the attention it gets. I'm convinced a 360 wouldn't get this type of attention.

    I'm considering a 360 but after seeing the reception that some of the older cars receive I should stick with my first desire which is a TR. Always loved them.

    Yes - in speaking to the mechanic, it happens often - usually about $ 5000 lost per occasion. It's amazing the kids they let rent these things and more often than not the car is towed to the shop without a clutch, broken shifter, front end damage, etc. It makes you wonder if you rent one and treat it properly, yet a clutch goes, they will pin it on you.

    I rented a boxer for a day from them, and basicly from listening and reading the rental agreement. You are responsible for all damages and breakdowns during your rental period. I don't think i will ever rent anything more expensive then the boxer or maybe the 911 cab. due to the possible cost i might have to cover.


    On the other hand if a save up for a bit. they just got a 430 spider that looks fantastic....but at like 1400 a day i think i will be saving for quite some time at my pay

    Um, is there anyone in the central part of the city with something like a silver Lusso?

    I was sitting here doing some work, heard something and just caught the roofline out of the corner of my eye.
