The one time I opened the boot was when everyone was taking photos!

Kudos to whoever cleaned @MikeHunt's car, that is some shine![]()

That yellow looks slightly golden in the photos but I think it looks even better in person. Really love how you have the car.duncs500 wrote: Sun May 24, 2026 8:10 pm The one time I opened the boot was when everyone was taking photos!![]()

It wouldn’t have surprised meMarv wrote: Sun May 24, 2026 7:14 pmYep, thanks for showing me what them 8500rpm upshifts are like in first, second and third in the 360 Gav![]()
I took JonMad for a ride in it a while back and he asked if the F1 gearbox automatically upshifts at the limiter. So we checked.
Love the CSL btw, somehow I always forget that you have it.
Re: Daan Saaf OV9 Meet
Very slightly different colour to yours though, isn't it? Can't quite tell because one looks like they've made the effort

Re: Daan Saaf OV9 Meet
Great to see you all earlier, had a really fun day out, nice to see some faces behind the usernames I've known for decades
It was really funny driving up the B660 because there were a few cars spaced out ahead of me. I could tell when the 40mph limit changed to NSL, even if it was out of sight, because of Dunc's exhaust, then GGs as they hoofed it. Obviously I wanted to do a public service and ensure you all had a chance to hear what a Ferrari 360 sounds like doing the same
thanks to @Sundayjumper for the loan!
I did a little walkaround with the camera while at C&M too:

I love how it ends with you almost being run over by a Skoda Roomster!
Thanks everyone so much for coming. I had a great time, and am still buzzing. We must do more!

Yep the colour is great. A yellow alpine came in after and I thought how flat and cheap the colour looked compared to the Elise.Explosive Newt wrote: Sun May 24, 2026 8:15 pmThat yellow looks slightly golden in the photos but I think it looks even better in person.

Re: Daan Saaf OV9 Meet
Yes, less than 3 year gap! This couldn't have been much more convenient for me, I guess doing it centrally is great for being manageable for people from both east and west but you do sacrifice an opportunity for an extended NSL run with light traffic. On another day I think we could have gone further north and we might have got a little more but with it being a BH weekend there's lots of other commitments so it worked out well as a quick blast.Explosive Newt wrote: Sun May 24, 2026 10:35 pm I love how it ends with you almost being run over by a Skoda Roomster!

Being at the front in a loud car means I missed at lot of the spectacle. When @GG. pulled alongside the 360 on the DC and you both instinctively knew what was happening made me chuckle away.

Took the B660 back south to Kimbolton on the way home and it was lovely and clear, so I enjoyed the trip home too.
