Ferrari Cruise + my rides in a F355, 328 & 308.
 

This happened on Sunday, a bunch (7) of Ferrari owners met up for a day-long cruise down south. :D I had an absolute blast as I had seat time in 3 of the cars, with the 355 by far the most exciting. Its always been one of my favourite V8 Ferraris so to get a chance to spend about 70km in it was precious!

The 355 got up to 240kmh (~150mph) on a quiet country road - what a blast!!! The older cars all managed around 200kmh, but still felt perfectly in control. :D

So a big thankyou to all the owners - can't wait for the next run which should have another 355 and a 360 (with an F430 on the way). :D

We all met up early in the morning, had a coffee and then off we went. It was kind of fitting that the cars lineed up outside the Subaru dealer - my red WRX would have fit right in. :P

So off we went for a 90km drive to Mandurah, we took the scenic route through the country. I was in the 328 GTS at this stage, which I've been in many times now. :D

A quick stop alongside the water in Mandurah for some posing:

Then this wannabe in a BMW decided his red car would look good in the lineup...... :P

Then came the best moment - I got to spend most of the return trip in the 1999 355 Berlinetta! :drool:

I actually did a quick photoshoot with that car at the end of the day on its own, so more pics of it to come. :wink:

Nice pics and cars! :D

always fantastic dingo!! 8)
thanks man

nice trip :D

cool cars especially the 355 :D

and the oldies are cool too 8)

thanks for pics my favorites are those with a F355 :D

OMG, another dream day for you ! :D

skip the BMW and place the Subi there :)

Very nice sunny pictures, saved most of them.
The turning wheels are great :D

Thanks dingo for the report!

thanks for the pics dingo. You are so lucky you have drive alotof Ferrari.
Like always there is alotof wonderful pics :drool:

I would've taken the Subi along, but that would've meant no passenger rides in the Ferraris. :wink:

Just to clear up any confusion the only Ferrari I've driven is the Challenge Stradale, all the others have only been as passenger. :wink:

Thanks man!


The 355 still has today one of (if not the) sexiest asses of any car. :drool:

Nice trip for sure and nice and sunny pics! Thanks a lot, too bad there were only red cars ;) The 355 is a really nice experience. I only was passenger in one on track which is slightly different than open road, but still one of the most desirable Fcars of all time!

Thanks for the pics!

Again a really nice Ferrari experience you've had. Seems like it was a very nice trip and some lovely owners! The f355 must idd be the best experience. From the few Ferrari rides I had, the one in a f355 impressed me the most. Maybe the fact I still was a little kid may have played a roll. But I'm confident the V8 right behind your back screaming out loud a beautiful sound also has to be accounted big time for the f355's attraction.

As for the pics, quality guaranteed as always. But I'm not a fan of the non standard wheels on the 308's.

The funny thing was that the two cars who didn't turn up were a black 355 Spider and a yellow 360 Modena. :lol:

wow, somebody is getting it's fair share of fast rare cars latley :lol:

Great pics man, as always. Nice to see them all lined up 8)

Can't wait for the red on black 308 8)

Thx!

great pics.... your becoming a regular ferrari passenger


Perhaps you should have put the WRX next to the Beemer adding another car to the line up :P

Lucky sod :D 308's i love the looks of nearly as much as the 355, never gotten up close to one thouhg :-( or had a ride in any ferrari :-( Still looking at pics such as these is a nice substitute :D
