musing

I was filling up with petrol the other day and looked around at my car as i paid at the kiosk. it looked fantastic. I dont care what anyone says, a Ferrari is a special event. People often talk on here about how 360+ are just mass produced car, but In the real world there are so few around. Here in Aberdeen where thestreets are metaphorically paved in gold (oil rush etc) there are more fancy cars than most. the heirarchy is:

Audi TT
Porsche Boxster
Range Rover (New)
911

Theres so many of them, that when an F car appears, it really is the only one that turns heads. Id be lying if i said it doesnt give me a buzz, but couple with that the shear joy it gives aurally, visually and sensually then nothing can touch it. I'm writing this more to myself than anyone else, there are no absolutes but there is an order in things and Ferrari is at the top. As the saying goes: one guy to another "your Ferraris great but i dont like the colour"......other guy replys "what colours yours!!!!!!!"

 

I think it's all relative.

In the Ferrari world, yes, there are a lot of 360s. But as you say, in reality it's still reasonably rare to see one on the road unless you live/work in affluent areas of London.

It does get a bit funny when half the threads on this site are arguing the differences between two cars most people would give their right bollock for .

 

When ever i have just come back from a bloody hard thrash in what ever ferrari i am using at the time i always look at it as it sits there all quite apart from the exsaust crackling. "how can some thing so beautiful and still be so fcuking violent"

 

Totally agree with you about F cars being top. That is the point I was trying to make in the thread where Eric has gone over to a Porker. A great car no doubt, but just does not the presence or soul of an F.

 

Your right about the crackling - thats a special sound.

 

so true. The traffic jam on kings road is usually composed of some guy in a audi TT or a TVR (he he he.... little dig there) looking a little sorry for himself cause he being completely outclassed by a row of Ferraris, AMs, Lambos and Paginis in front of him.

However when I see anything rare and cool out in the country, I get a much bigger thrill, not sure why, but it not only to do with there being less of them, its also being able to see it in proper action and at full chat.

 

I like it when guys in Boxsters give me dirty/envious looks.

And my car cost less................

 

As they say, fashion fades but style lasts forever.

 

Sounds like an ex girlfriend of mine!

 

LOL

 

Having had the 360 for almost a week, I've noticed a huge difference in the response from Joe Public compared to my 348. Both Red and both loud, but the 360 has more presence and according to me mates wives (and mates!) - better looks, so you're right, it might be mass produced, but in the impact department, its knocked my 348 for 6!! (sorry Angelis, I did argue the case for the 348)

 

Julian, after all the things you said about the 360 when you had your 348......you disappoint me!!

PS You gonna let me try it out on Saturday then?

 

Yeah, I know, real turncoat......but heh,....the King is dead, long live the King!

 

I just hope I dont like it too much!

 

You know you want to......I'll give you 10 minutes in my car before you call a dealer

 

youll need drugs to like it?

 

We shall see what Santa brings

 

You'd need tranqs if you'd bought one new!

 

You sleeping with D11VE:J?

 

lol - here we go again....

 

Its immature but funny.........

You still trying to make me feel bad??

I just don't want a car that will blow up and try to kill me!

 

thats unnerving!

Still, if you feel the need to dress as an old man and sit young boys on your knee....

Mildly amusing I must admit

 

Sorry Eric, just trying to get you back on side mate
