    Good man!! Why not indeed!!
    There is only one Ferrari which I would sell my 348 to buy, and that would be a 355GTB!!

    Its a 1998 F1. With a tubi exhaust. Cant tell you much as i waiting for plates (NY is done by mail right now takes forever) so cant drive it around yet. But very happy. Interesting thing some might appreciate. I have always had manuals, even my 360 is a manual. And there has been a tone of F1 vs manual post regarding the 355. I can say being per biased towards manual that there is nothing inadequate with the 355 F1 system. When i have car delivered i usaly meet them at a park at the bottm of the hill i live on. I was able to have alittle sporting drive to my house and it was nothing but fun. Is the f1 system as fast as some of my dct cars? No. Is it lacking in anyway in my opinion? Not at all. Anyway i hoping to explore this a little further and do a nice writeup in a diffrent post.

    Gorgeous. By the way, don't forget to update your profile (so we don't have to ask you what car you have and what area you're from in the future). ;) Not that we expect anything to go wrong, go wrong, go wrong...

    By the way, is the forward luggage compartment, on the left hand side, latched properly?

    I had a preconceived notion about F1 gearboxes which was a bit narrow minded considering I'd never driven one, then about a month ago, I drove my friends 355F1, and I have to say I found it very easy, and a lot of fun.
    Sure there may be faster gear changing systems out there these days, but there is something about the 355 F1 box that lets you have some influence over the gear changes, I think its the fact that you still have a mechanical throttle rather than an E throttle. So you can make the gear changes very smooth, and blip the throttle, heel and toe and so forth.
    Before my experience with the F1, I would have never considered one, but now, I'm sold, I really like it.

    The 355s F1 system is underrated and misunderstood IMO. I'm looking for a replacement 355 right now and manual/F1 isn't a big deciding factor. If the spec is nice I'm buying.

    The 4C is some of the most fun I've had on a track ever. Amazing bang for buck.

    Love the LE! Its deffiently a keeper! And a great buy IMO, for what you get. Its practically a baby supercar. There where some things that needed addressing from new that alfa just missed (factory alignment settings and shocks were beyond garbage) . But once corrected it great.

    I've long said I have an Italian car problem. Two Ferraris, two Fiats, two Alfas, and a Lancia. Actually. Seems like I need another Lancia. haha.
