    Does anyone on here own more than one recent ferrari becuase i really do not want to get rid of my 360 and yesterday i put down a deposit on a 430. Until a few months ago i wasn't really MAD about my car, i have always loved ferrari's and my 360 but i bought it as an upgrade to my db7 back in 2000 and i bought it simply as a nice car that i could take out on a sunday or go somewhere special in it but i started really getting into it and when i joined here it just got worse and i decided to upgrade again to the 430 but now i have two ferrari's or will very soon i want to keep both so i can change and there's things i like about both cars such as i prefer the look and sound of the the 360 and it's tdf blue which is a bit different wheras the 430 feels really nice to drive and so on. Cars still arn't exactly my life though and was wondering what the upkeep of two is like?easy or a slight bother. Just wanted to hear peoples views.

    A lot of people own more than one. A few own more than 5

    FWIW I don't think that it makes sense to own a 360 and a 430 unless one is a coupe and the other is a spider. They are essentially the same vehicle a few years and some upgrades apart. The idea of owning more than one is, for me anyway, to have variety and cars that feel and drive and look different.
    I am personally infected with the "never enough cars" syndrome, but I really try to spread the variety around, and if I buy an upgraded version of something I already have, the lesser car goes.

    Can you post some pics please?

    I agree with Alex. There isn't much point of owning an F430 and 360. Having a CS and an F430 Spider OR a 599 GTB and F430 Spider would suit me, but not a 360 and an F430.

    Having two means a spare for if one is in repair - or as is more likely in this day and age : when one has a flat battery - multiple toys comes down to personal time - if you are only doing a few thousand miles per year in hte 360 that means occasional weekends - so you will have twice the road tax and insurance and twice the garaging hassle - twice the maintenance as services are annual whether or not you do the miles

    Conclusion - you'd be better off and happier giving me your 360 !

    Seriously I doubt there is any sensible logic to keeping both - many here have just grown to love their 430 more and more - if this happens to you the 360 will just sit and depreciate more

    And if you realise you can't live with a 430 you could probably buy your old 360 back cheaper in six months or a year !

    The Tdf looks great even with such little lighting! I agree with 410SA, if I can ever afford more than one I'll get some variety. But on the other hand I have seen several members who have 2 of the same kind of Ferrari (for example 2 Challenge Stradales) so if you like both don't sell just because they are similar. But I can't really help you on whether or not it will be easy to take care of them

    Thanks for your comment, im glad i got that colour actualy, it wasnt my first choice but it was a canceled order and it was exactly what i wanted but tdf blue but i think it's a bit different to the usual rosso corsa and really like it now. Thanks for all your help guys i think once i actualy have two in my garage the 360 will probably go once i get used to the 430, at the moment from my experience in the 430 they seemed very different and would be great to have both for different reasons but i think once novelty wears off the 360 may just seem a slightly duller version of the 430 so i'll probably get rid of the 360 before i end up paying another years tax and insurance on it.
