    Rick (Ferrari 355GTB) and I picked up a 360 Modena from Graypaul on Friday, that we went halfs on, so we are both F car owners again..yippee! After a distinctly dodgy start Graypaul finally got their fingers out and prepared the car to a superb standard. Its had new tyres, cambelts, challenge grill (rear) and a full service too. Its an early F1 in red with 19000 miles on - used to be an Isle of Man car. Might stop me putting a load of miles on the Murcie now..
    Pics Rick??

    Also - thanks Steve F for getting me out of the sh** when I got a puncture at Vmax today..

    Well we just decided to split the cost and have the car for 2 weeks a month each. Everything 50/50. Simple.
    Steve gave me his tyre pump gunk to plug the hole.. so Ferrari 512 tyre gunk helped Lambo get on the road again..good man!

    Not only that.... copied from P.Heads V.Max thread...

    "Noise of the day had to go to Steve F (ferrarichat.com) whose 512 sounded absolutely awesome (and I never thought I would say that about any car that was at the same place as Simons Mircielago)"

    Big up to the pie-miester :D

    Congrats Simon. You are the only person I know who has a Lambo as the daily driver and a Ferrari as the weekend car!

    Sharing ? My only way of currently getting back into the Ferrari fold I miss so much - especialy after seeing and hearing Chris 360 at Le Mans.

    Fair play to Graypaul Nottingham - they came good (very) at the end after an initial cock up.

    Absolute mint 360 as you can see from the pics.

    Haven't heard a 360 with Capristo yet but judging by it's success with other models , it's prob safe to assume it'll be impressive.

    Do you mean a CSL AND a 360 !!

    FYI - the SMG on the M3 is better than the F1 system on the 360.
