For how long have you owned your current Ferrari and what is it?

Congrats

Please post some updates of your initial impressions about owning your first Ferrari

 

My little girls turn 4 next year, time goes too fast mate.

Malaka! I posted a link to this thread weeks ago, twice I think!

GREAT thread, he did an excellent job on that car. It's the little things that he and Gizzy have done on their Ferraris that have made them just that little better than the next one.

 

Will definitely be keen to join in on some drives. Some pics of her at home, she does need a clean though..

Thanks, it was a great base to start with, but all the extra details like Pap said makes the difference. I have yet to start the paint correction to remove all swirls then it will be a real stunner.

As you know nothing beats a 355 for sound.

Very nice Rob.......I've always liked Mondial's quite a bit. A very much under-rated car. I know CJ is fond of them too. i guess you got that heater box issue all sorted. Well done.

The irony is that yesterday, I sold my 308 to young gent from the Gold Coast and will be transported there tomorrow. It was a very rapid transaction and even I'm shocked that I sold it.It was my childhood dream car. All done in the valet parking area at Crown Towers. No PPI. I'd put that down to Carl Jones's reputation and my STUPIDITY in selling it.

I'm having pangs of regret as I never actively tried to sell it. The new owner was very impressed how it drove and thought I down played its drivability and condition. i guess I got it mostly sorted by the time it moved on.

Drive that car as much as you can Rob........that's something I never did enough of!

 

I'm a malaka Pap for selling 'the magnum' as some of friends affectionately called it.

 

Wooooh Rennie

I am shocked that you sold your 308

So what car is on your shopping list now ?

 

actually I take exception to your remarks, it did work out well.......and what makes you think any other 308 would've been that much different. What happened to the QV Carl bought?

If memory serves me correctly, the day I first met you at the workshop Carl rented on weekends, CJ drove my car and said it was a good car. That was Dec 2011. You even took a video of the moment and posted on here.

And the car came with a stack of receipts form reputable dealerships.

Yep, as ever, you're spot on.

 

Another Ferrari and blow a lot of cash fixing it LOL.....seriously, its a wait and see game. In all probability, a 360 is most likely.

 

Lets not go into why it took 2 years to get it right! That alone took a lot of the sheene from the experience. But i accept that.

Funny PP.

 

Actually, Id be interested to hear why. 308 is a pretty simple car and 2 years is a long time.

Let me put it this way......I learnt ALOT about Ferrari's with that car, I met some exceptional people along the way and include you in that (maybe that is the delusional part ), I had some great drive days and even the young gent who purchased my car was a great experience....I loved the way the car looked, the sound of the engine, the interior, the smell of an old world car, the positive responses from people on the street but yes, I was initially very disappointed about the way it steered and braked.

That car did not put me off owning a Ferrari.......just that you can't rust the quality of the work performed in its past and having the right people working on your car matters a great deal.

 

Rob, the best part of your Mondial will be the people you meet along the way. Enjoy the car but enjoy the people you meet even more.
