Plenty E5 in the south east of France that's for sure. We don't have any queues at filling stations either!

Hey giles,
Seen a couple of people posting the cars in Broadway, what group organised it? Was at a loose end at the weekend so could've come along in my 360 spiderYour cars looking good as ever though
Thank you for the nod on the wheel bolts a few pages back also; mine arrived last week and all came together with no problems at all
Cheers,

Thanks for the note Alex, the Cotswold Ferrari Area Group have supported a Broadway Ferrari day for a few years now, there are always a good selection of cars there from Dino’s and Daytona’s to the current Ferrari models. Good to hear my 360 is looking good but I have to admit mine was the only car there that hadn’t been freshly washed! (Head in hands face!)
Glad the top tip on the Titanium wheels bolts could help, the quality is superb and at a such a good price too!
Cheers, Giles

Had a warning light, it was 18 months since I had one so I guess it was overdue! Haha!
Active Suspension fault, apparently it’s probably one of the accelerometer sensors, not a big deal and can be fixed when I’m back from France. Heading off to the Cahors, Montauban, Toulouse area again for a couple of weeks, this time my auxiliary fan is working but Oct temperatures won’t stress the system this time round!
This icon pops up occasionally but clears after an ignition cycle. It appears to be triggered by a rough road surface. As mentioned an easy fix once I’ve had identified which accel sensor is faulty.
It also appears to default to firm setting once triggered so it’s like driving in Sport mode on the suspension all the time while the warning icon is showing, well that’s my perception at least, I’ve not googled it!
Cheers, Giles

So far so good with the 360 here in the South West of France. Car hasn’t missed a beat and has again proved to be a comfortable long distance mile muncher. In fact I’m always surprised at the economy of the car and the range that comes with it.
It took two tanks to get to Montauban from Stratford upon Avon and the last tank took me 438.6 miles and the gauge had not started to flash let alone the stage after flashing where the last remains flashing bar completely turns off. I refuelled with just over 16 gallons which equates to a smidge under 27 mpg, that’s better than my [same age (2001)] 996 tip C2. I know it’s not something Ferrari drivers are the remotest bit interested in, fuel economy, but either way, the range you can cover without needing a fuel stop is a very welcome and unexpected benefit!

27 mpg is amazing fuel economy for such a car. What sort of speed were you averaging?

I’ve been travelling along the French countryside roads and dual carriage ways rather than the Autotroute. The speeds are low, between 50 (single carriageways) and 80 mph (dual carriageways) but mostly at whatever 3k rpm is in 6th (65?). Yes, a very relaxed drive but I’m on holiday, not in a rush and there are many speed cameras!
