    Quick update: got the car back and they fixed the CEL and an F1 pump issue. However, been driving it and immediately noticed it now shifts to N around 3 or 4 gear and also goes N on downshifting. All of this happens after car gets up to temp. Looks like another trip back to the shop at some point but is drivable.

    I’m still down for a drive though and would love to meet you guys.

    Ken - saw you recommended control freaks detailing. I used them and they are fantastic so thank you!

    Dang, that's frustrating. My f1355 has been converted to manual. I've literally had zero issues in six years ownership.

    Brent and Jesse Control freaks are awesome, happy to hear that.

    That has to be frustrating. Who are you using to work on your Fcar? I do most of my own work, but I know there is going to be a time that something comes up that I cannot do.... so I am looking for who is in our area.

    Fortunately all of this is being done by a shop in south FL who PPI’d the car for me before I bought it. Labor is at negotiated rate.

    I’d like to start doing some stuff myself as well though like you.

    As far as a mechanic locally, I’ve explored two places thus far: Omega Motorsports and a guy named Mike Ferran (Ferran Automotive).

    Mike has owned a Modena before and said he currently has a Stradale and a Scud. I’m considering him for the next one as he’s easy to talk to and seems reasonable. I took my car to him recently just stopping by and he hooked up a diagnostic and also gave me some tips on the car. Not sure if he has a Leonardo/SD11 though.

    Cool thanks Ken! I’d love to start doing some stuff and learning about the car so I’d take you up on that. Jesse/Brent mentioned you and said you had a YouTube.

    I know Mike Ferran well, he rebuilt the transmission for my 1968 Ford XL a couple years ago (before I bought my 456GT). I am open to sharing my garage too... It's a 4 car attached garage, but I have a lift, shop plumbed compressor and most all the tools needed (save for some specialized Ferrari tools I have not yet acquired)... but I love working on cars and especially with friends!

    Kenny... would love to come check out your shop too sometime! Your lift looks a bit easier to use as mine is set up "tighter" to fit my other cars in my garage!

    Hey guys quick update on mine:
    Took my first drive from Jax to Boca and was able to get it up to 145mph down 95. Fantastic experience BTW.

    I mentioned it shifts to N around gear 4 and other stuff so I went for a drive with the mechanic and he diagnosed the issue as needing an actuator rebuild. This means I have to leave it there for at least 2 weeks. Once it’s back I’d like to get together with you all

    Hey guys Doug here. I live in Green Cove Springs on the St Johns River. I lived in Ponte Vedra for 25 years. Got a divorce after 29 years of marriage, moved to Green Cove Springs, found a great girlfriend, got a Ferrari and am happy. I just got a 2005 360 spider after totaling my 355 (long story) and would really enjoy getting out on some drives with some other enthusiasts. Let me know if you guys are getting together. Thanks Doug.

    I’m near San Marco in Jax. There is a Caffeine and Octane next weekend 2/12 at the Avenues that I intend on bringing my new-to-me 308 to again. Deremer, the Amelia Concours photographer, took this pick of mine at the last C&O.
