Hmmm..Porsche to Ferrari? Now that's an odd switch. Usually it goes the other way. After having laboured under the yoke of Ferrari servitude, on 3 occasions lasting 5 LOOOONG years, I'll not say anything other than this..dont take 2,000 mile trips in it. Every time we did there were many extra days spent waiting for repairs. Every time. Needless to say, I'm on my eight Porsche now with nary a reliability or quality issue.

Hopefully you'll be spared from the horrors we suffered at the hands of Fiat Spa.

Robin,

Sorry for my late response, I was out of commission yesterday sick as a dog! That is one beautiful car. I absolutely love those FCars and the interior color lookes awesome. Nice choice.

Robin,

Thats one nice looking Ferrari! Congratulations! Are you planning to set-up a DIY Ferrari site? It would be neat to see if you did. I also wanted to thank you for the p-car site, as it has come in handy for me on these issues:

Replacing spoiler wall: (when I had the stock deck lid)
Disable retractable tail warning light: (when I added TS wing)
Suspension Faq: When I was looking for a suspension replacement
V1 Hardwire Install: One of my favorites!

Congrats again! Will be waiting for sound file of a few revs

My first Ferrari was a 360 as well. I had the same experience with the 6 speed. The F1 in my F430 is great. A Ferrari is entertainment not transportation. :-)

Well guys, you know I will always be a Porsche guy. Carcommander said it the best, a Ferreri is not a transportation, it is an entertainment. Porsche on the other hand is both transportation and entertainment. That's why my daily driver is still a Porsche.

Already registered the fcarsite.com domain name, haven't done anything with it yet. I don't even know how to check the oil in this thing yet! LOL!
