    Very nice pics, especially the last garage photo! I love Ferraris at night where their eyes can glow :)
    IF or whenever I do own one, it will be definitely spotted at the Hollywood Nightclubs :)

    Thanks for sharing!!!

    You're a great dad! My dad would rather give me his life than the keys to his Ferrari! ;)

    Sh$t my kids would know better than to touch the keys to the Ferrari. You know that look Darth Vader gives you then you die? That being said you are a cool dad. Unfortunealty I'm am strong with the dark side.....

    I thought Darth wore a mask? If you can see beyond the plastic to view facial expressions, man you really are strong with the dark side. That campus will definitely behave with such forces at your disposal...

    Were the boys allowed to punch the gas a little? Any set speed limit?

    They were pretty sedate, really. youngest son was so nervous, he only drove the 360 in automatic (it's F1). The other two got the 355 going pretty well. still cautious, though. They know that if they even put a scratch in any of the cars, they'll be out of the will!
    We have some nice windy roads near where we live - absolutely made for Ferrari's fabulous mid-engine V8s! You can have a great time without exceeding any speed limits (by much :)

    Yes, the local Ferrari Owners Club got an invitation to the event at short notice. Only had the 355 on display there. Where did you see it first?

    Callum, I'm impressed. There aren't many 355s or 360s in Wellington, you must stick out like a sore thumb. I trust you are steering clear of Tory St now.

    Did you guys go over the Paekakariki Hill?

    I know of five or six 355s, and about four 360s in Wellington - so not so many. Took the 355 into Wellington on Friday - left it outside the restaurant. must admit to peering out the window once or twice to make sure its ok - sad, i know.

    I regularly drive the paekakariki hill (which is a blast), but we didn't go there on sunday. I live in Plimmerton, and our route took us over haywards to the Hutt Valley, and back.

    Which part of Wellington are you from?

    I'm from Lower Hutt.

    I miss the open road and lack of traffic in NZ. I've often thought about pulling into the outside lane going up Haywards from the Hutt side and flooring it up the hill. Puts a grim on my face just imagining it.

    I saw it driving south on the motorway past Paraparaumu train station, when I was catching a train to the cricket earlier this year. (im 99% sure that was yours)

    Sweet house and cars, there Callum. Would be wonderful to drive those around NZ.

    I graduated high school in Hamilton, but I spent a few weeks with friends in Greytown, Porirua and Titahi Bay while I was there. Wellington is a nice city.

    being 17, I can appreciate what a COOL dad is like... my let me take his 996 cab. today (of course, he took my M3 so he wasn't totally left with nothing ;)). He said I can drive any car he has. If he gets a Ferrari though, I won't ever take it to school (too many jerks around with keys). Nice cars, Nice house, very nice!
