Welcome to FL. Great pair. I just finished the article in Forza comparing the 360 Stradale to the 360 Modena. The Stradale really seems to be a huge leap ahead.

DM1, In one of the pictures of the F40 posted in the Garage section it looked like you had different wheels on the F40. Have you upgraded the brakes? If so what did you have fitted?

No upgraded brakes. Just have a set of HRE 18" wheels for the F40. By the way how many miles/Km do you have on your F40?

My F40 current has 31,500 KM on it. I put roughly 5,000 KM on it last year.

You should bring it over here and we can arrange a F40 cross Europe tour.

How many miles were on it when you acquired it ?

P.S. I saw an F40 with over 100,000 km on it last year at Maranello. Car was in terrific condition.

For the slow people of the group (myself included) 31,500 km = 19,573 miles.

Default F40 responds well to frequent use
The service centre always regard mine as high mileage - 32,000 miles and 12,000 kilometres on the old original speedo.But it never goes out in the wet.............

I think mine now qualifies as high mileage. A bit over 30k KM with another 1500 to be added on this weekend
