    Never again with flappy paddles for me.

    Software nannies that put the car into neutral if the door or bonnet switch is flaky or if there is the slightest current fluctuation. Diagnostic software that shows no faults even when the system is obviously not working. Independent mechanics who are obliged to pretend to be mechatronic engineers.

    And when it inevitably goes wrong, there's nothing you can do about it. Stranded in the outside lane of the harbour bridge in peak hour traffic, talk about "living the dream".

    Wow Ian, your experiences would definitely be enough to swear you off , the Harbour Bridge incident would definitely work for me, all those people blowing horns & looking at you in a Ferrari & snickering :mad: I wonder if it was early car issues, my 430, the Scuderia, Audi R8, both McLaren all with flappy paddles & I've never, touch wood, had those issues, what year was your 550/575?

    Seriously ??

    Ferraris don't melt in the rain, I've driven my 3 cars through some of the heaviest rain this country's ever seen and not so much as a hiccup.

    2018, driving from GC to Sydney double-Bs were stopped but the 355 drove "sweet" and then through the middle of Australia to Adelaide in searing heat

    Hopefully FMS will find the issue, probably caused with the clutch change which would seem most likely from the work done

    Computer niggles perhaps/ F1 actuator issues, it’s quite a science
