A friend for my CSL

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

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?

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
