Posted on the super car forum, but thought i'd post here too.

Here it is.... Makes a fantastic noise and the gearbox isn't as bad as i expected after the 458. The car is mint, not a scratch anywhere. The steering does't feel as precise as the 458, perhaps a few adjustments are necessary and a slight knocking noise from the front driver's side suspension. Getting it into a local specialist next week for a thorough check over.

Congrats, looks amazing. They also seem to be a very wise investment at the moment.

Perhap a good investment, maybe not. Really bought it because i have wanted one for 10 years and it will be so much fun on the track. Looking to driving it back to back with the 458 at Yas/Autodrome ... going to be slower but I reckon a lot more involving. And i'll need ear plugs.

Congratulations Jules. Absolutely Stunning.

I will be looking or rather listening out for you on the Palm.

Echo all the above. Great to see it here at last. Must be very satisfying having lusted after one so long, congratulations!

So, it's been to Mr Renners and given a clean bill of health. New boots fitted, the ones it came on were barely worn but 6 years old and for some reason worn unevenly, so the car pulled to one side. New set of P Zero Corsas fitted and apparently problem solved. Now looking forward to it coming home tomorrow or Tuesday.

For those that live on the Palm, my aplogies in advance for the noise.

Is this 360 CS imported by any chance?

Yes, bought from a dealer in Switzerland. Why do you ask ?

Correct, I'd picked a colleague up from Al Tayer, saw you coming off SZ, was educating him as he'd commented on your '458' as we went under the tunnel.

Hence windows down, pulled alongside, waiting for it, only to feel like a dick as I'd blocked your entry!

Never seen (or even heard) of a 360 CS in the UAE. Seeing yours is a first time for me!

A guy i spoke to at the FOC thinks there is one more here, but probably part of a large collection and rarely sees the light of day. There seems to be little appreciation here for this sort of car here, hence the stupid prices you can get Scuds for compared to Europe. And don't even ask what a friend just paid for a 16M …ridiculously cheap.
