Wonderful video about one of my favourite Ferraris. I've been lucky enough to have owned five of them since 1993 (2 328GTBs, 360 Modena, F355 Berlinetta & 456GTM). My wife loved the 355 apart from the colour (Rosso Corsa - resale red), the noise, the ride and the lowness... She actually 'quite liked' the 456 because it was (relatively) quiet, comfortable and even had electrically adjustable seats. No bum-warmers like her Skoda (gasp)! Flogged the 456 last year due to the boss asking why I needed an old Ferrari, an old Porsche (993) and an old BMW (635CSi). Happy wife, happy life eh? Keep up the good work, cheers from a slightly chilly Otford, Kent, UK.

I put a lot of work into that thing!! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@BrianMakse]

No kidding, Tom! I didn’t realize you’re working there, but that makes a lot of sense!

good old days 😀

Great episode. I really like this car, and love its stablemate, the 550 Maranello. This one looks and sounds lovely. Thanks for the drive. And you look much better without the blacked out sunshades, by the way.

Glad you enjoyed it

So this is the Pina Farinna you teased us with recently. #Raycon Earbuds

[@BrianMakse]

This is the one!

Classic

I used to own one of these from 2013-2015 but had to sell it as I lost my job. Had a black one with light brown interior and it was lovely. I really miss the car but would never afford to buy another.

[@BrianMakse]

The challenge with on of these today isn’t the purchase price, but rather the maintenance.

[@rakerholm]

@@BrianMakse It isn't terrible. I had mine for 3 seasons and it didn't cost me much more than other cars. Most people with some mechanical understanding can service these cars themselves. And it's a car with very high quality on most parts. Even just a simple thing as opening and closing the ashtray, feels extremely smooth on this car.

[@alengreen589]

this engine deserves urgently new engine air filters.

[@darrenbradley1506]

"The last great analog grand tourer"... wouldn't that be the 550 Maranello? Don't think it's any less analog than the 456...

[@BrianMakse]

It's the 456.

[@yomofoindahouse]

Something happened with the airbag.

[@BrianMakse]

Possibly. There’s a clue in the episode.

08:23 I bet maf's are not functioning with these "sport" filters. So no surpise what you feel.

[@scalefreakgaming]

This looks epics. Hey...can you get your paws on a 944?

[@BrianMakse]

Probably…

[@ShadowBend]

that gated shifter 🤤

[@BrianMakse]

It's a winner.
