    After an abortive delivery last Wednesday I will finally get my first Ferrari (360 Spider) tomorrow afternoon. I think the last time I felt this exited about something that was material, was when I was a kid on Christmas Eve. However as I have been waiting the last 30 years for time and circumstances to allow me to own a new Ferrari I suppose another night will not be so bad.

    I will post pictures tomorrow after I have stopped driving/smiling. Thanks to all the F-Chatters for advice (particularly insurance) in the pre-days, now when is that next track day?

    Steve are you going soft with all the battering(food pun intended) that you're getting from Tonyh? Not one mention of southern fat cats.

    Seriously I echo Steve's sentiments Matthew - Enjoy!

    Well done Matt, enjoy the ride and stay lucky.

    As you have a new car you should have received a free membership to the FOC and their next trackday is tomorrow ( 28th) at Oulton Park in Cheshire and there are places left so give the FOC office a call and book a place.

    It may be a bit short notice for you though, but a few f- chat members are going to be there.

    Regards

    Phil.

    Santa came this afternoon......

    Well I am now a proud owner of a 360 Spider registered today. Already did 100 miles this afternoon and evening, the car is everything I hoped for.

    Picture attached is a bit naff due to forgetting to take pictures during the day, at night in my garage does not come out very well. I will take more pictures at the weekend and post.

    Unfortunately I can not make the FOC track day tommorow, as I skived of this afternoon from work I would be pushing my luck if I vanished tommorow as well. I will defintely be at the next one, and hope to see you all soon.

    Thanks again for all your advice and support
