Mark's 360 F1

Took the 360 to a FOC lunch in Henley on Thames. Was an enjoyable day and the weather held out.

Looks great. I was just commenting on Pete's thread about the 360. I think they are such a pretty car today. More so than I ever thought.

Went for lunch at Cliveden House on Sunday to celebrate my 50th. The food was superb!

I had a major service and cambelts done on my 360 at QV London. They did an excellent job and at a very good price.
So far this year the Ferrari has been cheaper to run than my Audi A6 S Line Black Edition (which has done 1000 miles) and 1970 Dodge Challenger.

Makes a nice change to hear of good service!

 

[Mark Blanchard]

Yea they seem to know the earlier cars up to the F430. And don't work on cars beyond that.

Lots of Testarossa's being worked on last time I visited.

Not something you hear often. My pal has a 1970 Dodge Charger. Seems relatively cheap to run compared to me 360.

Took my 360 to Brooklands Italian Day on Sunday. What a great day it was and a large number of Ferrari's present. I managed to get a good parking spot at the front.

Below are my photos.

I've not been to any car meetings in a few years. I need to keep my eyes open. I'm no longer a fan of 'showing' my car since an incident many years ago with my F355 where I found an 'admirer' of the car sat on the bonnet having their photo taken.

I do miss it though.


Lovely 360 you have.

 

[Mark Blanchard]

Thanks. Was a great day and had a spirited drive back with a friend and their 355.

Took the 360 to Guards Polo Club with TVFOC on Sunday. Was a great day.

Got the car serviced at QV London. The coil springs had surface corrosion on them, so they were shot blasted and refinished. The engine mounts were also sagging, so new ones were installed. Also the front ball joints had play so new ball joints were fitted. The car drive better on the road now.

 

[Mark Blanchard]

Couple of Autumn shots, and fitted a new number plate.

Cheers. It's a real pleasure owning a Ferrari, I still have to pinch myself.

I'm in the process of making a Ferrari 360 Modena website. It's called:

www.FerrariModena.com

I'll be updating it with information, past events and work undertaken on my car. Hope you think it's ok.
