Such a classic beauty.

How long have you had it. What are your driving impressions?

Thanks so much Ritesh. I've had it for about 3 weeks now, I've only driven it about 4 times as I've been traveling for work in between but I still managed to put about 1300 miles on it in that period. I absolutely love it! It was a bit weird at first getting used not having a clutch pedal, and strange getting used to the ease and speed that I'm able to switch gears with the F1 paddles, but I'm comfortable with it now and actually prefer it. There is no way I could control upshifts and downshifts as quickly and as easily on a 3 pedal manual as I'm able to on this 2 pedal F1 manual. To think that the newer Ferraris have a faster system boggles my mind. The car is normally very comfortable and relaxed but when you put the pedal down at any speed it seems to sit down and and take off. The power steering is fairly light but very communicative, and its extremely direct and easy to manoeuvre. The only other thing I have had to be careful of is hitting the downshift paddle at times when I was intending to hit the left turn signal stalk while driving at night. Its really an amazing machine and I keep worrying if I'll wake up and discover that my owning it is just a dream.
