Driving a Ferrari 355 Spider on the open road

Just thought I would let you know about an amazing driving experience I had this week. Track days are great because you can really let the car rip but the best thing about this was that I was able to show off to all my mates in a shiny red Ferrari!!

I had the 355 for a weekend and it was fabulous. I collected it from a company on the Silverstone Circuit, they went through a few things with me and then off I went. Just drove off in my very own Ferrari for the weekend.

My mates were so jealous! They couldn't believe it when I pulled up at the pub in it. No I didnt drink - just showed off and gave everyone a quick ride in it!! It was truly amazing. I would recommend it to everyone!

My wife hired one for me for my 30th birthday a few years ago.


Must admit, had a real hoot nailing about in it everywhere, engine sounded glorious with the roof
down.

Only thing that let it down was the fact that it was falling to bits. But i could live with that for
a weekend.

Yeah the cool thing about it was that it was immaculate. It really felt as though I had bought a brand new Ferrari. It had less than 30,000 miles on the clock!! Truly fantastic!

Remember the first time I drove a Ferrari, also a 355, and it was the most amazing experience ever! Much easier to drive than I expected!

Yeah, about a million years ago I hired a 308 GTS quattrovalvole to go to a mates wedding near Leeds. What a hoot ! AND good weather so I could keep the roof panel off. The only thing that worried me was that the front went light at speed. Very disconcerting ! Thought it was the ultimate head-turner until I bought the Cerb !
