    I enjoyed this piece on the 355gts F1, easy to follow and some cool details about the 355 in general

    What a great car. Good to see an honest description of the F1 system.
    A brilliant system for the time and is actually a manual box that requires skill and finesse to get right.

    Geez I don’t want to sell mine now. :(

    Interested to see the aftermarket lifting of the engine lid (did you notice, Moretti, Mike, Gizz)?
    The lid clicked up instead of going up on the gas struts.

    It is a completely different car to the 360 Steve, it would be a lot of fun learning all about it if I were ever to be fortunate enough to get one, such an interesting car, I bet you and your family have had plenty of great memories with your car

    One of my favourite bits of Ferrari ownership (and I’m sure everyone is the same) is hopping into the driver’s seat, seeing the prancing horse, turning the key and hearing the engine come to life (if you know, you know). Any headache the car may have caused in the past disappears in an instant. Be interesting to hear how the Lotus makes you feel when you get it.

    Was the same for me when I jumped in the BB512 , felt I was in a period Group C sports car.

    Apart from the trip to Sydney in 38c temp , it was an enjoyable car to drive .

    My ex knew if I had a bad day when I got home all she had to do was hand me the keys to the Ferrari and I would be fine in minutes :)

    Just sitting in the GT4 or QV made me think I was realising my dream all over again :)

    100%

    As much as I enjoyed the 911 I had (and I’d happily buy another), it lacked emotion. A bit like Germans and jokes

    They look nice but I'd never own a spider ............. if you knew what happened to the GT4 you'd know why

    I spent hours picking through the books and paperwork, I still haven’t got through the radio instructions booklet, it’s an inch thick but One of the first memories of Ferrari ownership was the smell of the leather Schedoni book folder, such a unique old smell, ace
