I took some shots of the car yesterday. Updated my website with the pictures.

I'm starting to get the hang of the paddle shift / F1 gearbox, having never used them before I can't say it's comes naturally. Down shifting to a junction still feels strange. A normal manual would have been preferable, but price wise that wasn't an option.
Car looks great :thumbsup:
I've always been one for full manual gearboxes but my guess is the F1 will grow on you over time as you get more used to it. Mush as I love my open gated 348 I think if I swapped her for a 360 I'd be tempted to go to F1. I think if you're going from what is a very 'old-school' mechanical feeling and unassisted car like the 348 to a modern, far more capable car like the 360 you sort of might as well embrace that and go the whole hog if that makes sense.
As an aside I do think the term 'old-school' gets banded around far too much. An 'old-school' Ferrari is pretty cantankerous at times, not always overly reliable, can be tricky to drive even when it really shouldn't be and the build quality is 'questionable'. Saw a video recently where a 599 GTO was described as the last 'old-school' Ferrari. Didn't half make me laugh.
