    I sold my spider in November and the wait from then until now has been nail bitting and sometimes depressive. I have owned this car for well over two months but I didn't want to drive it until all services were completed and my cosmetic additions were added. So I am back in the drivers seat and loving every minute of it.

    I went on a 4 hour drive last Sunday with my Ferrari crew and I went out again yesterday on a beautful day with a beautiful woman...my wife. Only because she went shopping did I have a chance to snap some photos. (I didn't want one of those "This Thread Sucks without Photos" captions.

    So here they are:

    Very nice Mario!!! Looks to be in showroom condition. You sure must have been bitting your nails waiting for 2 months to drive? I would have never made it. I live on the Oregon-Wash border and take mine out everytime the clouds break. haha

    Congrats,
    Mike

    Gorgeous car man! Whenever I see really good photos of the 355 like that it makes me like it more and more, maybe even more than the 360!

    Nice pics, and great color combo!

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I love the lines of the 355B and the classic Red/Tan is timeless.

    I did add 30mm wheel spacers to the rear and
    15mm in the front.

    I also have F40 brakes in the front... the pics show a little of the bigger cross drilled disc but not the caliper.


    Thanks again...

    Not only will I compliment you on your photographic sense (choice shots all around), I'll just state the unvarnished truth - *******, that's pretty.

    Mario....BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!!!!!!!!

    Can't decide if I like it with the stock or competition grill or not...any plans in that direction?

    Ya know, the coupe is nice...but a spider would be sweet too, per se, in black? I KNOW, how about CARBON Black???? ;) ;)

    Steve,

    I had a challenge grill on my first 355B..I think it looks good when you have a black interior to compliment it. I'm leaving the stock panel in this one.

    As for a spider...been there done that....Carbon Black is still a beautiful color though...better than a Red/Tan Spider for sure :)

    Mario: Come a little south and I will meet you in Modesto for coffee. I think my car will be back in a week or so. I'll get Mark (great Fresno guy)with his 360 to join me. I'm putting new wheels and tires along with some minor touch up. I love my silver 355B!
    See ya,
    Scott in Fresno
