    Woke up Saturday morning and the weather was clear and calm, perfect top down weather.

    I decided a road trip would be fitting, headed to another town about an hour away to check out the beaches and the ladies. The road to this town is a perfect drivers road, lots of good corners and plenty of spots to over take if needed, great fun. None of the women wanted to pose for photo's, oh well :D . It was almost like this town had never seen a Ferrari before, lots of camera phones......

    I always fall into the trap of wanting to take some ladies for a drive.

    One problem: only 1 passenger seat!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Car looks great by the way James.

    Thank you Reg, i love my wheels too, but they are not to everyone's taste. It is heading into winter very rapidly here, so I'm taking every opportunity to get the roof down. ;)

    Thank you George, i share a similar problem, my mates always give me a bad look as i am driving away from them standing on the kerb........ It is never a hard task to full the passenger seat of a 355. :)


    Thank you. :)

    EVERY time I had the opportunity to take some ass chicks for a drive in my 348, my ******* friends would not get out of the car!! :mad::mad:

    Only once, another friend of mine was kind enough to jump out up town so I could take this hottie for a 10 min drive. :D:D

    Yeah, its a strange old world, glad we have Ferrari's to play with year round, i miss summer already. Thanks for the complements Daniel, these photos were taken with my phone :eek:

    Man, that sucks! The lovely lady in my profile got a 30km round trip through some nice back roads round town and back, all while my mate waited patiently. I would do the same. Pap, if i am ever riding shotgun in your awesome 348 and a hottie wants a ride, ill walk to the nearest bus stop mate. :D

    Great looking spider, James. Great photos with beautiful NZ backdrop. Yours would make a good pair with my yellow GTB. Great wheels too! Our summer is just approaching so I'm looking forward to some nice drives (after I get my engine out service done and try to resolve my cold starting problems. Enjoy.

    Thank you for your nice comments. Awesome car mate, she looks great! That is what I wanted when I first laid eyes on a 355, a yellow GTB, in NZ we only have 2 and one is long term owned and the other has a long story.

    Your cold start problem could be the fuel non return valve? Good luck with that mate. Show us plenty of pic's when you have her out and about over the summer. Yellow 355's RULE :D

    Honestly, this is a stunningly beautiful country, i am privileged to live here. It does snow in New Zealand but not in the part where i am, we have clean driving weather all year round, i drive my car in the rain too and as you can see from the photos these things don't dissolve in the rain. :D You may have heard of Queenstown? It is a town down south from me with a very famous ski field, lots of tourists visit there. Great party town. ;)
