Its SPIDER, must get it right when talking about something as special as a Ferrari.  |
You know the scary thing? In the Bonhams Ferrari Sale catalogue, 50 Swiss Francs, TOP quality and so on... well, they ALWAYS wrote Sypder

TT, that is a bit worrying  , maybe it is actually Spyder and we are wrong.
I think I better send Luca di Montezemolo an email and ask him to clear things up for us.

I think so too.....so you would think that someone like the people who organise the Bonhams sale would get it right, they have the cars sitting right next to them.
BTW, sorry for hijacking your topic Griffith.

Great cars! I love the F355 in silver, the lines come out very nicely and the contrast between the rear lights and the body looks very good.
The Griffith is my favourite TVR, but I can understand why you chose the F355. Still, a shame you had to let it go.
An M3 is an excellent daily driver as well.
Welcome to JW! Enjoy your stay.
P.S.: TT, I didn't know you're trundling around town in one of those 45 km/h cars! LOL Please a picture of that.

It's not as obvious as it might seem...
The 348 was the first Ferrari convertible called Spider. All those before were called Spyder... e.g. 250 GT Spyder, 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spyder. Why did they change? No idea...
And thanks for the warm welcome!

Not the point, mate. I've had some track time, plus my car is SOOPER FAST1!!!!!
Given I'd much rather have any of his cars, the TVR most notably. I love British sports cars.

Awesome cars, thanks for taking the time to take the custom shots as well! Welcome to the community!
p.s. Any chance of some videos of the cars in action?!

I have only a short video taken on the 2nd day of ownership. At the time there was a temp sensor for the cats reading wrong data and therefore the ECU was running the engine in "safe mode". After fixing this the car was performing much better and at 6000 rpm it's as if a turbo is kicking in...
