    The highlight of the video certainly isn't my driving (I was given strict rules about short shifting etc), or really the car, check out the road and the scenery.

    It was a half hour drive and we took a video of the whole thing, here's 3 minutes. Certainly the car wasn't driven as it was designed to be, but I really enjoyed the mountain road drive in the Spyder. My GT3 is a different machine all togther, so I won't bore you with comparisons, but I did love the experience of the Ferarri.

    PS. It's my intent to own a F-car next. Not sure which, but I'm enjoying reading the threads here, especially the 360 vs 430 threads. They read very much like the 996 GT3 vs 997 GT3 threads on Rennlist.

    Monaco is 0.76 square miles and you drive through it end to end in 2 minutes in any direction but circling. You sure you were not mostly in France?

    I know this because I scheduled an entire day for Monaco on my last French Rivera trip and boy it only needed 2 hrs, including the palace. I accidentally drove through the country in 2min flat and had to turn around. I knew it was small, but geez.

    It looked like a fun drive. I think I would have picked somewhere a bit more secluded and with more twisties. Lots of venues in France that fit the bill.

    Yes yes, clearly it was in the area surrounding Monaco. The drive starts in Eze, and you are taken on a route with the principality below. It was an outstanding drive and again, I've only posted 3 minutes of it, but I can assure you the roads were very twisty, filled with blind corners, many times you don't know if it's a hairpin or a sweeper when you enter it.

    The company is in Monaco.
