    Kenny, I'll be in Bangkok this June. Do you guys still meet at Starbucks every Sunday?

    The new Ferrari dealership looks incredible too, I'll definitely have to check it out while I'm in Thailand.

    So....you bought it??? Or it's gonna get PPI to make sure that it's fine????

    I think it's best to ask Cavalino krub. May be, they would be willing to help out at certain expense.

    I hope you get the newest possible 360 with documented history if possible.

    Anyway, enjoy the car as it's meant to be driven hard....

    ER..

    Pong is right. GET THE PPI!!!! Every Bht spent on PPI could save you $$$$$$$$$$$ in headache and pain later.

    Totally agree

    No matter thats Pre or Post Purchase Inspection, PPI would always be a great choice ;)

    Best,

    My 575 is still going strong krub. No mechanical problem, run smooth and strong, starts everytime, cool aircon... just a bit noisy in the suspension bushings at the back.

    Like I told you, the last 360 is the best 360 (this is true for most cars anyhow). The 360/430 forum here will be your best resource krub. Every imaginable question and problems have been asked, answered, and asked again.

    Most important is that you must enjoy the car. In the end Ferrari is still just a car. So, buy it and use it for what it's worth krub. They are quite tough. The craftmanship can still be ****ty in some area, but mechanical-wise it is a very sound car...strong engine. If you buy the right car there is no reason to be worried krub. Drive the darn thing to its limit and enjoy...

    If your doesn't come with Tubi...may I recommend stock Stradale muffler???? To me, the factory's Stradale muffler gives the 360 its best sound... very fruity very racing like but not overly loud like some aftermarket system.

    dont worry ,must be the ultimate limit i would push to the car.its meant to drive ,not to keep ,rite?
    the owner just got the major done and runs for only 2,000 km.after the major work.
    so i can still enjoy the ride for a big while.
    it comes with capristo stage 3 which way way lound like thunder strike!!
    will see if i can cope up with the lound.
    thanks for ur advise for the stradale exhaust.
    will search in the tube for the set up.
    see u sometime.

    My wife was 6 months into her pregnancy! She still enjoyed the drive tremendously. The trip was a perfect activity. I enjoyed the drive, she enjoy the food, the car had a long drive it deserved. The weather was perfect, the road was great with minimal traffic, the car ran flawlessly.

    We will do the trip again!

    Sawadee-krub...
    I have a question which has been on my mind for a while now, and the Ferrari dealership here in singapore didn't have a clear answer for me. So, hopefully you guys over in Thailand could help me figure this out.

    I know the common petrol in Thailand is now on Gasohol and the highest grade I have come across is probably Shell V-Power 95 Gasohol. Is this the petrol you guys use on your ride? especially the Lambo and Ferrari? I have asked the dealer in Singapore and they won't dare to concur using gasohol.

    I hope to drive the Ferrari (458) to Thailand one of these days, and want to make sure I get the right fix for the tank. Some ask to add Octane Booster, to bring the octane level up from 95 to about 97 or 98. Wonder if that is necessary.

    Any advice here? Thanks in advance. Khob-Khum-Krub.

    Hello Fireplace,

    Welcome to Thailand! According to your questions about the petrol, I am pretty sure that your 458 can use gasohol 95 which is widely available throughout the Kingdom. Being informed by the local authorized dealer that every Ferraris which manufactured after 2004 can use gasohol without any problems, regarding the factory information.

    Btw, you could also find unleaded 95 from PTT and Caltex station if needed.

    Somehow, rumor that octane booster might cause some damage because it is not designed for Ferrari street-cars. Please note.

    Hope this helps and have a good time in Thailand :)

    Best,

    Greetings from Malaysia, all! Did anyone here take part in the recent Super Drive organized by the Blue Jackets, Malaysia? :)

    In any case; I'm headed to Bangkok in August (14th - 17th) and was wondering if any of you would happen to know a 'hot spot' where I could go to snap some pics of local supercars. I am an enthusiast photographer, and my online album is on Flickr here.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated :)
