Dear all,

Just a little note to say that I am now a Ferrari owner as I have now purchased a wonderful 550 and it's brilliant!!

I had been looking for a while and then found one that had the right colour combo and history,

So, let's get out there and start the trips and meets again!

Already got the Le Mans Classic in the diary,

Cheers

Paul

Well done mate I was wondering where one of our founding members had disappeared too?

Do you want to front www.sportsferrari.com for me?

Lovely motor by the way.

So come on, how does it compare to the Maserati?

Hi Matt,
yes, to fronting the sportsferrari drop me PM on that,

Well, how does it compare to a Mas?

Now stand back as I light the fuse of conversation on this matter of comparison's, its a very different car all together compared to my old 3200!

I viewed the car back in March and had a couple of test drives and just fell more and more in love with it, right colour, right budget, right history too. I have now driven around in the 550 for a while and what I can say, loved the 3200 but this is a very different car, a real driving car, a car that holds the road, its so so so so fast and the torque/power!!!!

I have only had the car for 24 hours and learning all the traits of it still and will do for a while I am sure.

But, what I can say, having family, neighbours and friends already in the car with me driving they all just get out after the drive and just go WOW!

so, a happy 550 owner here let the new chapter begin,

cheers

Paul L

Well done Paul love TDF Blue same as my 456 was. Will make the 3200 seam economic if my V12 experience was anything to go by.
Sportsferrari is a good idea though guys.
Phil.

Brilliant car. But VERY BIG when compared to, say, a 3200. We've had ours for 8 years now, and it's definitely a keeper. It's the rock solid Ferrari investment of that time, so enjoy it, but hang on to it. It ten years time, it'll be worth loads (he says, with his fingers crossed!).

Hang on a minute! If just looked back and looked at those wheels. They're not 550 wheels. Have you bought a 575?

It looks like the car that was for sale for a while at Deca Motors, which was a 550. If so it has a navy and cream interior with Daytona seats and a quilted leather rear parcel shelf, it also had those same wheels on it.
