Yes yes yes!! Hell yes. Always loved these, though it would be targa for me (prob not everyone’s choice). Seen it on Pete’s socials, then heard who owned it. Absolute legend, health to enjoy it.

Also, great write up. If the diving ever finishes up, you can definitely moonlike as a motoring journalist!!

You are/have a massive ballbag Barry! :laughing:

Fair play, enjoy! I’d love to see this some day in the flesh, old supercars are where it’s at for me if it’s to be a supercar.

Amazing, Barry. That’s absolutely fantastic, and so was the write up...

Fair play to you for working dangerously hard to get where you are 🤙

If you search ‘F355’ on here it’s you & @big_pete encouraging me to make the dream a reality since 2017, so, thanks for that.

Think I enjoyed the write up more than the pictures lol I joke.

absolutely stunning and was following Pete’s stories on it, think it’s the Ferrari that everyone still loves apart from a F40. health to drive

To many cars
Loved reading that
From a dream to actually buying one must feel awesome

I usually skip to pictures, but had to read it as it started on the right foot

Fantastic car and by your job, you deserve to treat yourself

All the best with it 👍👍👍

Absolutely fantastic!
Always loved the 355, one was at the Nordschilfe when I got to make my pilgrimage there in 2002. I spent a huge amount of time drooling over it and drinking in all the details. I'm not really a supercar person but I think it's one of the few I would like.
Brilliant write up and fair play to you for following through and fulfilling your dream.
Health to enjoy

Only just read through the first post (scanned through photos originally). Great story! Genuinely pleased you got 1 after all these years.

Absolutely love that and fair play to you as well. The colour combo looks perfect. Great to see such a wonderful car owned locally

Leaving the car aside for a minute - I didn’t want that post to end. Excellent read, really enjoyed it :joy:

Car is stunning and congratulations on a) your new baby and b) your soon to be new baby.
