Default Beautiful Ferrari 360CS Photoshoot (WILL CONVERT YOU) **HI-DEF PICS, 56k NOT ENTER**

Sorry about the sudden influx of post whoring but I just could not let this go to waste.
This photoshoot was taken by a member on another forum, and to put quite simply, to say this car is beautiful is an understatement.

These high quality pics will make you cry.















Ferrari > All other cars.

Have to say us Italians have some of the best food, some of the best women and some of the best cars in the world! A very fine taste indeed!

Why do all the nice things have to be so impracticable?
It's like the perfectly handling and performing ute, without the tray!

I guess if I can afford one of these, I could employ someone to transport the esky for me.

Lay off the war jokes, or we can mention Aus always fighting for someone else, or Gallipoli and Vietnam.

lol.. you know that if it got into a fighting comparison Italy couldnt hold a candle to Australia for battles fought and won in modern times.

Although the Italian battle flag is very cool White dragon, White Sword on a White background is very impressive.

One of my favourite late-model Ferraris.

I'd *almost* get one over its Porsche rival, the 911 GT3 RS. But in the end I'd give in to the 911's charms and well, yeah.

Still, that 3.6litre, 317kW V8 sounds tops.

Agreed. Those Ferrari engines sound so amazing.
Is that the same V8 that revs to 8800rpm?
Seen a video of one racing a Dodge Viper RT/10 uphill on a mountain road.
Pure bliss.

The Australian battle flag is equally impressive, also known by the titles Union Jack or Stars and Stripes.

It was a joke peoples, relax.

Fact is that, as EF, What else? said, Italian Food, art, culture, architecture, engineering, literature, and modern sports car design have all been the stuff of legend since before Christ. I have a lot of italian friends and we prod eact other many times about the fact that, for all Italy's amazing culture, they are the pinnicle of "loves not fighters".

Lets just leave it there as a bad joke on my behalf. If we really want to get into modern military history on this topic then we can.. but its going to make Italy look pretty stupid. EG:

That would be the same time Italy was fighting under the swasticka with a puppet Nazi ruler voted in by the people. Of course Italy didnt actually enter the war till 1940 after France was subdued and it looked like Hitler was unstoppable. 1943.. Italy surrenders or, to be precise, swap sides so the allies didnt totally moonscape the Italian cities.
Shall I go on? No, I wont. I'll just enjoy the fact Italy wasnt moonscaped and that they now make some of the most desirable cars in the world.

My Great Uncle was a member of the 9th Division, a Rat Of Tobruk, WW2. I once asked him what is was like fighting the Italians. He said "I don't know, we could never catch them!"

Wasn't the 360cs replaced by the 430 (which reportedly has better handeling and is quicker)?

Out with the old and in with the new i say, i'll have one of these instead!

I love the suede leather covered dash with red stitching....

Imagine you falcon with it except in blue stitching...that would look horn as well as cutting down on heat and glare.....

Does having an italian car like that guarantee getting an italian girl ? Because I think an ausie girl would take one look at it, and you, and tell you that your a ****er.

PS Not trying to start anything us and them thing.....just a light hearted question
