Saturday night in the rain, I drove a blue 360 Modena F1!!!!!!! :green: Ya'll see, I am a valet a fine restaurant in the houston area. I have driven many exotics. I go to school in the morning, and work at night. When the thread about what everyone did for a living came up. I thought about posting on it. This job is helping me pay for school, and it gives a great opportunity to drive some special cars. Since valets have a bad rep for some reason, I decided to counter it with cars that I have driven and love.

I know what you mean, i'm stuck in traffic a LOT

and from time to time it bugs me switching the gears.
I've driven an automatic a couple of times, and i didn't enjoy it, it feels like you are missing out on something.
ONLY reason if i ever get an automatic then it HAS to have a tiptronic or something of that kind.
I've driven a few cars with it, and i enjoy myself with it and it's pretty relaxing. Especially with the Selespeed on the Alfa

Dirk,

Well, I told him that I hadn't seen an 575MM in person. So, I offered him a spot up front. But.....I asked him if I could ride along,,,he said sure...let his wife out....and I got in!!!!! I'm hoping next time he'll let me drive it. :wink:

:question: do you guys prefer driving older Ferraris without power steering or newer ones with power steering? I think I like the old ones better because they remind you that you're driving a sports car. It's too easy driving cars with power steering. I remember reading an article that says comfortable cars are GT (gran turismo / grand touring) cars, and not sports cars. :wink:

Oh great !! I`m waiting for my turn.

You're friend, F50 !? Lucky bastard !

Congrats ...

Mick,

the powersteering issue is a non issue for me. I really don't get them up to any 'high' speeds. With the 308's and older mondials, you can feel the lack of power steering. I'm just grateful for people being friendly enough to let me drive their Ferraris. :wink:
