Took the 550 for a wash on Sunday - clearly got a sensor somewhat over damp and Italian sulky with the jetwash. As I left the ABS and ASR warning came up and while stopped at the lights the speedo was reading 120mph - mileage was noticeably increasing as well....

Both ABS and Traction disabled themselves and the steering became a touch heavier - on damp cold, roads it's certainly a very entertaining beast with no driver aids.

Couple of hours hooning around and then stopped for fuel. Restarted the thing and all was well.

Self fixing Ferraris - marvellous!

Lesson learned - be cautious with jet washes and sideways is nice!

Cheers

They do this as a warning... dont leave it alone for too long! Its amazing how fewer problems I have with the 355 since I've started using it more often!
