Got my Modena F1 yesterday. From my limited experience I can unconditionally recomend the F1 box. It is absolutely great (as the car of course!) and when you start getting used to it so enjoyable!

Thanks! I've already posted a photo of my keys and attached is a photo of the car.Enzo250GTO said:
I live quite close to ze_Shark and SpaceBoy so that would be easy. Not sure about the others.

-F1 box: nearing 800km and still love that box! :lol: Very fast and fun in agressive driving and very comfortable in relaxed situations. Just needs a little care in hills and jams. I guess it is a question of taste but 80% of Modenas sold have this option, makes you wonder why.
As for the 'Ferrari-ness' of the F1 box: do you think Schumi's FormulaOne car is not 'Ferrari' enough? What about the Enzo and the Stradale that only come in F1?
-Diablo: you wouldn't get a plaque like this (check plaque.jpg) in the Lambo though :wink:
-TdF: check some fresh pictures! :lol:
-Badges: I like them a lot.

It is Lake Geneva on which Lausanne is also located (in French it is called Lac Leman so as not exclude the non-Genevans).Dj Dirk said:
I live on the Northern (Swiss) side of the lake and at this time of the year the sun tends to be interfere with photos of the lake unless taken in early morning/late afternoon but I'll try take your suggestion into account next time.
In the mean time here is a less spectacular photo (doesn't show the lake and the cliffs) which shows off the colour better though!

Hope to have some more pics when weather clears up (with the sun in the back!).Dj Dirk said:yes, that shows the colour better
i really love that colour, but no challenge grill?
the area around the lake is really beautifull. i drove beside it in december when i was going the Gstaad for the auction
I've always loved dark blue cars! Had a dark blue 996 before and a dark blue 840ci before that.
Decided against the challenge grille in the back but went for it for the front so as to match the side air intakes.
The area around the lake is indeed stuning. It is the biggest lake in Europe (by water volume, not surface). The cliffs on the northern shore make for some great vistas and I am lucky enough to live only a 5 min drive away from those winding roads by the hillside vineyards!
Which route did you take to Gstaad? Through Bulle, Col des Mosses or Col du Pillion? The fastest and most interesting is Col du Pillion but if weather conditions are bad it can be a little challenging. Can't wait for the summer months to drive around the Alps!
BTW were you at the Ring on June 20th last year?
That is strange, Michelin usually gives good directions! :-?Dj Dirk said:
Both ways are quite scenic anyway. 8) Some more lake views with the 360.
Good luck with the radar.
As for the ring, I ment the accident with the 360.

>dirt on the car: As you can see on the pics it was a very sunny day here by the lake and I couldn't resit going for a ride 8) . The region being quite steep you can easily gain a few hundreds of meters of altitude within a couple of kms and unfortunately, after a short drive, the clean, dry, lake-side roads gave way to melting-snow-wet and salty roads . Took the picture on the way down. Washed it straight after !!! See attached picture in the afternoon at the same spot.
Yann was especially critical of the 'dirty car' photo :wink:
I hope everybody is reassured my car is clean again.
BTW those mountains in the background are right above the French town of Evian and, presumably, the inspiration for the picture on the bottles.
>grills: thanks for the comment! I am sure your car must be wonderfull too! Any pics??
As for the back grill, I thought heat dissipation must not be too much of a problem (especially in Switzerland!) otherwise they would have fitted it on all 360s. Furthermore I like the 'blue metal/red lights' look and a black grill would have spoilt it a little (could have had it painted of course...).
>licence plate: All Swiss licence plates have the two-lettre Canton (State) identifer followed by (up to) 6 digits. Lausanne is located in Canton of Vaud (VD) hence the plate. I just used the VD part of the pic to camouflage the numerical part. I've seen it done before. No special significance!
>'ring: it must have been very sad! Do you know how it happened?
