Having my first ever Ferrari European road trip dashed last year down to Monaco Historique F1 via Reimes, Napoleon route and back via Lemans I was...

This has been our approach. On two occasions in Germany the hotels have even offered us their garages. At one guest house in the Black Forest the...

Yep, if you lack talent or don't drive to the conditions you get a fairly clear lesson :grin: What you've said is true though - so many depend for...

I thought the common knowledge was that if you did find out you were going backwards into a hedge...:grin: Seriously though how much road testing...

We find that requesting accessible car parking and calling ahead telling them you have a low Ferrari sorts it out. Have never had a problem in three...

I've found that many hotels have problematic driveway entrances, steep enough to scrape the front lip when going in or out. Any tips for finding...

Thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely take a look. We have stayed here in the past: https://www.aldouriecastle.co.uk/the-castle/

Sounds like some really wonderful trips. There are some fantastic routes in northern Portugal and across the border in Spain. Agree on the UK...

Car is now available for viewing at Bob Houghtons. See website: https://bobhoughton.com/360-spider-sales-bleaase. Priced to sell at £65000. Please...

PS...it is also said that the driver on the right came from remained due to the whip hand of the old stage coach drivers (being mainly right handers)...

Having done many epic road trips the best ones have always involved some tenuous excuse to go. We find that it breaks the ice whenever you arrive...

Hi Irarref, :grin: yes, thank you. That’s what make me think I can have a go at a diy repair. I just wanted a back up plan because once mines apart...

If you're thinking about Scotland, have a look here for a place for exclusive hire: https://candacraig.com/ Lovely house, great location in the...

I see your problem now. Looks like I’ve been relatively lucky so far but I’m sure if you do manage a diy repair, lots of us would be interested. Good...

Hi Ian, the gear on the damper top is ok. Had another look today and it’s the black plastic frame inside, the bit that holds the centre brown plastic...

From my experience it’s more likely to just be the gear underneath the actuator If you can hear the motor working when you first turn the ignition...

£6k is only if you don’t do the premium programme. If you do then the Classiche accreditation is £1k.

Makes more sense if that’s what it is. I already get this service from Stratstone as they always advise me if there is an upgraded part available...

£6k for classiche :laugh::laugh::laugh: You need to shop around; they are taking the piss with you. But then there is poetry there for driving so...

All sounds interesting, Giles. Interested to see where this goes as my car’s getting on a bit so maybe something I’d look at in the future.

This is exactly what I’m now doing. The rational for many considering the premium programme and Classiche will be wide ranging. For example (and...

The Premium programme seems closer to what I may be interested in at some point in the future, not keen on putting things like inefficient,...

What you are describing is what the premium programme is, it’s making the car more reliable by changing many of the perishable components like hoses...

The 100% originality issue is where I depart from the factory because almost every tipo has an inherent flaw or two in the design. For the F430 the...
