Couple of pics of a mates 360 spider he acquired recently and my Cesil today. We went for a drive and swapped cars.

My impressions of the Ferrari : Best bits were the open top, the feeling of an an animal of an engine just behind you and all the various noises it makes all through the rev range. I never really got it to the red-line though, it likes revs. The brakes seemed poor (compared to my AP's). Needs a road trip through Europe in it really, it's pretty wide and revs so high it's hard to really exploit it.

His impressions of the Cesil, dynamically seemed sorted, like a fine tuned instrument. Awesome stopping power and a massively sized boot !

Both great cars, would happily own both (if I ever could) :)

Great pictures both in the SG (slower) colour :whistle: Still prefer the CSL do not do soft tops

Big fan of the fezza's. Would happily swap my CSL for one.

Was that one a manual or flappy paddle?

Manual.

Pretty cool clasic H block, but a bit notchy, not sure if they are all like that.

Is that because you live in a cold and horrible place like the UK? :hahaha:

I've always been a hardtop man (targa at a stretch), but recently quite keen on convertibles. Not poxy 3 series ones though.

Yep, except it's wetter ;)

They've jut never done it for me, prefer the looks and driving characteristics of hard tops, and I really can't think of a single example where I'd choose the convertible example of a car

Except maybe a 3.2 911 Speedster :smokin:
