    And I thought my 100k km was something to brag about ...

    Just so people will know , list the problems you've had with the car . Also, when do you plan to sell ? Post a picture of the car .

    You're a lucky man, not afraid to actually use your Ferrari. Enjoy your car in good health!!

    (and keep an eye out on that gearbox heat exchanger, they can go at about 9-10 years)

    Am abroad doing more miles at the moment but will post pics etc next week.

    For the record, NO MAJOR ISSUES in all those miles. Just wear and tear, including 2 new manifolds (known issue) 1 wheel bearing and 1 drive shaft, again these items just wear and tear. Other than that 2 clutches only, discs pads tyres of course.
    Its been totally reliable!

    Great post! Well done for using your car - it's probably one of the main reasons it's been so reliable for you.

    I wish you many more happy miles. We can all sleep a little easier knowing these machines are well capable of mixing it with the run-of-the-mill stuff!

    Well done! Just another example that if you use and maintain your Ferrari, it will actually work.

    Thank you guys for all the kind words.

    My car is a 1999 manual 360. Euro car bought in Germany. I took over the car at 20,000 km so I have personally done 130,000. I used to commute through London every single day in it.. a trip of 8 miles that took 1 hour on average to do. She was happy just sitting there in traffic day in, day out, rain or shine! Mind you, I didn't get much mpg!
    I ran test pipes and tubi for 8 years and now run test pipes and Timate.
    She has also done a great number of trips to Le Mans, Maranello, and all over Europe touring. Its amazing HOW much luggage you can actually squeeze in. On top of that I have done many track days so it has pretty much done everything with a smile.

    I will upload a few pics next week - she still looks fresh.

    Cheers
