Hi all, I'm just a couple hours away from 355 extasy.By then,I'll be on my way to Milan to bring my princess back to Paris.I'm as happy and excited as I was sad and disapointed, when I sold my beloved Euro 78 308 GTB a couple weeks ago.My new bride comes in Argento with blu scuro interior.She's from 96 in the 5.2 version with 23.000 miles.Belts and big service done less than a year ago.She has great options like factory upgrated brake discs,ceramic Ferrari emblems on the sides and the best: brand new tubi exhaust that produces an unreal symphony when she roars. I'm very happy to join the 355 community as I was when I belonged to the 308 section.You guys are great and your expertise as well as your kindness make F-chat very special. Cheers from Paris, olivier. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Congrats on such a beautiful car and welcome to the 355 brotherhood. Enjoy her in good health. Cheers! When you mentioned "upgraded brake discs" from factory, are they cross-drilled? Are they larger in diameter? Just curious here.
Thanks for the kind words.To answer your question,yes they are cross-drilled but I'm not sure of diameter and the material they're made of. Apparently,it's a very rare option and I've been told they're super expensive.I'll know a little more when I'll pick her up in Milan in a couple hours. Cheers from Paris, olivier
Expensive options they are. I was told those factory cross-drilled rotors were $900 option and that's per disc. I think that's why they're rare...
Ya ya ya brotherhood, sisterhood...it's all the same. At least to the 360/430 guys we're all still in the "hoods". LOL
Welcome! Its' always great to have more 355 brothers! While I did not come from a 308, I came from a 328. Missed that car too but I couldn't afford both. Now go out there and drive it! Theo
Congratulations olivier !!! We need more 355 guys here in this section !!!! This section has a great group of characters!! !!
I own a 1999 Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta in TDF Blue with Tan. I looked it up on the355registry.com and it says there were only two others built like mine. Blake
Actually Olive, great look'n ride, we share your excitement and welcome to the coolest bunch on FChat. The 348/355 boys are the most helpful and funny dudes you could be associated with........have a great time! And Chris I WAS going to buy a few dozen "Hush Puppies" but fogetaboutit! now....yuk, yuk!
That is quite an undertaking Robbie!! It looks like you will be reaching the halfway point before years end !
That is a very very nice ride! Congrats! You must be aware however, its the 355 Sisterhood you joined, and not the 348 brotherhood.
Don't listen to those who say '355 sisterhood' they secretly admire the 355's lines and horsepower when we are not looking !!!
