Picked up my first Ferrari today

[_Leg_]

New 458 Spider. Got it from JCT at 5, just got in. Epic. Absolutely love it.

Pics taken by my 13 year old son as I was far too distracted.

Lol, well its been incremental, I still have the E92 M3, a porker and t'others picked up along the way but yup, its a bit different to my old TT I'll give you that.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

First stop off yesterday (after much driving) was the local chippy to pick up dinner for the family. Took me an extra half hour cos when i came out the car was surrounded by people. After letting some kids get photos sat in it I finally got home with luke warm fish n chips. They had a gentleman of the plod persuasion taking the pics for them. Bizarre. Luckily he didnt notice the front plate had, err, "fallen off" and was in the boot.

And yes I was up at half five today on a Saturday morning, and it's sodding chucking down.:-(

Best make sure the roof is up before you take it out then.

Lovely looking think, enjoy.

By the way, I should have said, Ive had XPEL Ultimate film on my Porsche since new, fitted by Paintshield. They've fitted the whole car with the gen 2 XPEL film on the Ferrari and it's an absolutely superb job, cant see the film at all.

Hi Richard! I'm Nick from yesterday. Was great to meet you again! Have to say i very much enjoyed hearing that exhaust valve open out of the junctions. I had to make lots of noise in mine today to make up for not driving yesterday!

Gorgeous, congratulations.

Congratulations

JCT, eh? Fellow Yorkshireman?

[DanoS4]

Thanks for posting this. Honestly, made my day

I'm currently in a 996 c4, but my aspiration is a 458 spider so it's great to see someone realising the dream.

I hope you and your family have many years of enjoyment with it

Dan

Aye, I'm up York way. Brig house lad originally but I escaped when I met the Mrs.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been in.....Maranello courtesy of JCT.

Factory, museum and playing out on Fiorano.

What a week!

Back to reality today, replacing all the gaskets on my Model A Phaeton. Sod's law the day I schedule to do that it's bright sun.

Love this car. Saw it around York during the warmer months. I'm also admiring your garage build thread. What a great project and love your collection. I look forward to seeing what other cars you buy.
