personally i got so bored of seeing em when i worked across the road from them at porsche,i finally went out in one and have to say for that cost near enuff a mortgage on a 1 bed flat,what a fooking let down!!
dont get me wrong they do sound nice,but the ride was like being in a very wide slammed hard escort turbo that handled well,but was just pure revs and hardly no torque,may sound stupid but whilst sitting in the passenger seat and the engine just behind your head it sounded rather like a nova on throttle bodies in someway,nice sound tho!!

the garage opposite has one for sale and another they drive about in, the owner of that car sales next to Penarth road Halfords owns one, a guy who lives in my lane has one, think there are a couple knocking around up Penarth cliff tops too. its alot really.

Never been in Ferrari until tonight when a nice driver took me for a spin. He also got a few petrol station and own three Ferraris.

Anyway, I got a ride in his 360 Spider F1, what a car.

The hanling was amazing compared to my shonky taxi.

We approached a roundabout at quite high speed but I wasnt scared as I thought such a sportscar should manage going through without a problem. Then just before the roundabout the driver shouts to me, "We are turning left!". Flocking Hell, turn at this speed I thought. The next secont we sailed around with such ease it was amazing. Even Mike could manage a roundabout in such a beast.

Then onto the dual carrigway for some full throttle and brake display. I was as impressed with the brakes as with the handling and engine sound.

I must say that 15 minute drive was the best of my life. It gave me a good perspective of what proper car should be like.

/Andreas - one happy

PS Ferrari Rocks DS

I knew it was real mate, the replica thing is kind of an old joke!

Yes it was me in my RS1800, you could've waved mate! To be fair I was wearing huge sunglasses though so you could be forgiven for not recognising me! S2 was looking clean as ever.
