    Congratulations James!

    Really pleased for you! I just picked up my 2002 Ferrari 360 a couple of weeks ago and to say I am pleased is a major understatement. Its probably the biggest buzz you can get driving around in one of the best cars in the world. I personally think the 360 looks cooler than the F430 (maybe time will tell) but the 360 CS is going to be a cult classic in the future. A truely great car!

    PS. I'd recommend getting the car 'perma guard' protected. I'm driving mine to docklands in London (from Cheshire!) to their premesis to get it done next Saturday (weather permitting ofcourse!!). Apparently it removes any small swirl marks and means you don't ever have to polish it again for a perfect 'wet look' shine. See www.permaguard.info, I read about it in EVO, if you want to see the results I'll post some pictures after I get it done.

    Cheers,


    Trevor

    Keep them both - looks like a dream garage to me.
    It's also got to be the coolest thing if one garage door is open and you notice somebody gawping - casually open the second garage door...

    James,
    ... Now if only we got some WARMER weather (read as in Above Freezing!! it was -6 deg here this morning!!!) so we could go out and have some proper fun :)

    I am so frustrated, I bought a 360 just as it turned to winter, DOH!!!

    Still its bringing a huge smile to my face even when driving it around slowly :)

    Very nice. They do look good together in the garage, shame the 355 has to go.
    I saw it on the poseurs run video.

    Congratulations.

    The factory car's stripe isn't hand painted, it's vinyl that' s hand finished and lacqured .You can buy a vinyl decal for a fifth of cost of factory stripe. I can't tell difference, see Joe's car .

    Andrew,

    I'd be very interested for you to do a back to back comparison between your 355 Challenge and your new 360 Challenge Stradale. How have they evolved? What about performance differences, handling, grip, etc. Are they a world apart or very similar. This is the comparison that EVO magazine should have done as it would be a very interesting read...

    Wow, what an awesome car. I'm exceptionally jealous (but also happy for you)!

    If I had the money, a 360CS is exactly where I'd be - without doubt, my favourite road car.

    Congrats buddy, I'll be looking for a passenger ride some time soon!!!!
