Try to get a 16m to do a vid with the Pista Spider and Speciale Aperta. That would be epic
Yes it would
Such a gorgeous spec. Top video as usual as well.
Glad you like it!
13:53 “ If people behavior dictate how you behave, than they won” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That’s exactly what I am thinking more and more
For the last 2 years.
Fantastic video as always ! Look forward to you guys hitting 100k subscribers and beyond ! Thanks for sharing your passion with us and taking the time to make the video 😊👍
Great video. Nice to see someone having fun during this time. Keep it up.
Nice one Damian, Great review with enthusiasm and candid comments as always. Thank you.
Everything about this car can simply be described as exquisite. Definitely a car to keep forever!😍
Great, honest, well rounded and humorous review. Fantastic car, enjoy.
Whow, A Simply Wonderful Video. !!! Your commentary while driving was Super, Entertaining, Informative, Honest (as usual ) and Exciting to watch. Cars were meant to Drive and so glad to see you do...So do I..👍👍👍
Great episode Damien! You did yourself proud on the spec of that love the interior
Winky fizzage always makes me laugh!😂. So glad we can enjoy this as you drive it and it’s not a garage queen! Great stuff Big D!☝️😆
Great video as usual, and I basically agree with everything you’ve said, and nice to see a question in a video so thanks for that.
Damian, absolutely brilliant! The specs are terrific!!!
Love your channel, you guys are definitely my favourite automotive RUclipsrs. Your collections are the best, love that each car has an emotional connection and/or a purpose to you.
Your spec of the pista is beautiful, I really like Tge's spec but yours lifts the car and makes it look like a gentleman's Ferrari.
Another great vid Damian, the interior you've created is splendid, and you're sense of humour is 👌
Great video guys! Really enjoyed the chat and honesty 👍👍
Great video. Definitely my favourite spec I've seen, the interior is epic.
Brilliant Q&A, Damian. The background scenery of where you were driving is visually stunning like the car.... Awesome. thank you for another Friday car feast.
You’re welcome
Thanks for the update! Staggered by the cost of the paint and the windscreen especially!!!!
Great clip. Really enjoying hearing about ownership as that’s the biggest test 👍. Respect to you for really using the car & not worrying about weather / mileage / wear & tear. Well done 😎✔️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for answering my question Damian (I’m F355nut on IG). Love your comments on the 355 being a very special car. Obviously I’d have to agree 😉. And great to hear your objective views on Pista ownership. Keep up the good work!
Great honest insight Damian, worts and all!!! Great video as always!!
Damian your Spyder is a beautiful machine. The colours are so complimentary.
The joy on your face when you give it the beans is priceless. Thanks for the video.
Can I just say, I’m loving the term “winky fizzage”. Car Guys, take my money and make a shirt ! Please lol Great vid ad always. Great insight.
Exactly the video that that car deserved. Winky fizzage aside, it is a real thing of beauty. Hopefully I’ll get to make it’s acquaintance this year. Cheers once again.
Vicarious living well done. Thanks!
Great content. Keep them coming:)
The way he banters back at the people cracking jokes is brilliant.
Love his humour
He is very dry and quick witted. That's why he has the fly whips. Not a dummy is our Damien lol
Bet you’ve had to do that this season #camaintbrady 😉
Great video Damian. Thanks for sharing ✌🏼
Windscreen repair = ouch!
Great video Damian, beautiful car and I always enjoy your sense of humor 👌
Appreciate the openness on the numbers - most people seem to want to leave that out, probably because it’s out of the viewers league but that is the reality of ownership for you
Refreshingly honest and insightful as usual; great job. Genuinely get a buzz seeing your enthusiasm for the car. Brilliant. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
In a depressing start to the year, this has put a smile on my face. Please keep it up.... please.
Then we're both winners, Simon
same here! I just love this car! and spider looks even more spectacular!
I reckon you should add a 16m to the collection in 2021
Another great video. And what a car beautiful spec
Excellent video fella, back to your absolute best. I'd go so far as to say perfect review of a car, excellent sarcastic responses to other 'you tubers' ideas 😉 More of the same please! Oh, and can I drive it one day please.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the beginning of the video Damien.You show that you are enjoying driving this car even with some of the flaws that you mentioned. Make it a daily driver which I'm sure you're going to drive the crap out of it and enjoy it. To good health!!by the way I bought my first Ferrari which was a 458 spider with novatec exhaust and I just love the hell out of that car it is so fun to drive
Class. Objective. Self-deprecating. Informative. Honest.
Are you kidding? Objective? Ifcthat is objective, please explain his critisism about the "numb" electric steering compared to the 458 he is so in love with.
Let me help you out. Look up Ferrari part number 301996. You might be surprised.
Trust me. He is anything but objective.
Great informative and personal video...👍
She does look lovely, the paint is beautiful. Another enjoyable video, thanks!
Brilliant as always. Not sure I would have chosen the interior spec but hell, it's your car and you love it and that's all that counts.
Interesting review and brutally honest ..... refreshing to hear a you tuber not trying to defend their purchase or provide bull regarding future values.....I think the Pista is a beautiful car but slightly too fussy on the front.... it will be cool to see someone in the UK who can afford to put real miles on these types of cars and I believe that man is you Damien....great work and back on form.......
Love the honesty and the fact you DRIVE your cars! 😊
If you think that is a high mileage Pista, you might want tovsee what else is out there.
He is in the low mileage group.
Cheers Damien I'd forgotten it was Saturday morning till you came along with my Saturday breakfast viewing. Great looking car, enjoy 👍
👍👍👍
Thank you for the run out, Damien. Lovely.
Great as always. So my conclusion from this video was - it looks amazing but doesn’t move my soul so I’m going to rag it to death which will then let me love it. Exactly how a supercar should be used
Love the spec Damian -what a great Pista - likely a permanent member of the car guys garage
Another great episode 👍👍👍
Love the honesty as always, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Fabulous Review Damian ! - Great insightful, honest, experienced commentary You Are a class act! As is You choice in automobiles- THANKYOU BUDD🙏
Thanks for watching 👍
Happy New Year Damian
Wishing Both You Jason and Your Families Good Health.
Damian Out of Interest is it possible to order interior in Leather as Opposed to Alcantara?
Happy to see you Enjoying Your Beauty.
Cheers Carlyle.
Really like the colour on that. Hope to see it out and about on some of those familiar New Forest roads when we return to some sort of normality.
Beautiful car and thanks for the review. I drove the Speciale and then the Scud. I bought the Scud because of the emotion I felt driving it, as well as the feel that it had over the Speciale. Seems the Pista has moved the emotion and feel factor pendulum even further in the wrong direction.
Cars are absolutely becoming faster and more capable. BUT at a big expense.
I wasn’t sure about the gold wheels but then I remembered the 512 S (1970) and went “Ohh”. Great spec for someone who’s been blessed with both owning many Ferrari’s and excellent taste ;-)
Love this video 🤗
Thanks for taking me along 🙂
Glad you enjoyed
Great sound with the roof down - that make it
Excellent stuff. Nearly fell off my sofa with the price of the paint though 🤣
Such a nice spec Damian. Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Thabks for the ride, I wont need to buy one now I will keep jumping in your for a quick spin. .🤪
Saves me £23k on paint alone.. 🤣
Epic stay safe and bring on 2021.😎
Another great video. Beautiful beautiful car...... id still take your 458 S A tho! Sorry
Great vid, nice and light hearted 👌🏽 I am a one car man but own many watches which I match with my clothes... Do you ever match your watches to what ever you're taking to drive? If so what car to what watch please?
Al.
It looks beautiful. Awesome specification.
Beautiful car, great colour. I would like a ride in it. Sam STG gave me a short ride in the yellow Pista that he had for his 30th birthday. What a car! Absolutely agree about stop start and the need to keep switching it off. ( Scotland, do not tell the wee woman you going when she allows us to return)! You are one lucky guy to have so many cars and so many Ferraris
Hi , do you intend to put winter tires ? Perso when it is « humid » and at today’s temperature I do not feel confident at all on the oem rubbers
I like your channel !!!! Tam
Another open, honest, bright video - with added self-depricating humour - Thank You Damian!
NB: Don't tell B&Q how much you paid for the 488 Pista Spider paint next time you need a pot of Dulux from them - Good Luck!
Well said!
Great content as usual. Best automotive RUclips channel!! Thank you
Sorry for my question 😂😂
Thank you, G Man
Fab episode. Great Q&A.
Thanks, Gadgety
Well done... you just about pulled off talking about the interior without sounding smug to those who questioned the brown (me being one of them). Keep it up and watch out for that “winky fizzage”
Right on!
I’ve been looking forward to this Damien,love that spec 🥇you need to make a longer video on this mate
Yes, once lockdown finishes
Good stuff sir
Beautiful. Great way to start 2021
Thanks
Awesome spec, never thought I would ever want a Ferrari that wasn’t red, I do now!! Great video
Glad you liked it!
It’s good to see a man enjoying his life in these strange times 👍
The brown interior is growing on me, I love it, kudos on the spec decision
Brilliant as always and an honest review. Add a large glass of red to new CG video and a great start to the weekend 👍
Honest? Interesting choice of words.
He calls the steering numb and blames it on the electronic steering.
The only issue with that is, that the Pista has the exact same hydraulic steering system as the 458 he is so fond of.
@@AB-80X Damian has considerably more experience of Ferraris than me (ownership not press/loan cars) so happy to be confident in his review 👍
@@keithmclaren9226
That's fair, I respect that.
I just find it very problematic that he criticises the car based on incorrect info. I will be 100% honest with you, and say that I'm in part annoyed about it, as I have a dog in this fight.
I am a Pista owner myself, but I am also the type of car guy who wrench because I enjoy it, and to me it is absolutely ludicrus to call the steering numb, especially compared to the 458, as they in fact share steering systems.
Damien has previously shown to be quite subjective based on incorrect info.
I have driven just about everything in the rage and own a few cars. I understand this might be hard to believe seeing this is youtube, so I will be more than happy to invite you on to Ferrarichat. There I am a confirmed owner, and also what I like to believe is a valued member.
The point of this is not just to bash this channel, but while they do claim to have a high degree of objective car expertise, I have come to find that it is not the case.
My bread is buttered another (Porsche) way but your spec for this thing is exceptionally alluring.
Been waiting for this 😁
I think you did a great job on the spec! It looks super!
Thanks so much!
Ahhh this is exactly what I can wind down to after a week of work. 🙏🏾
Glad to help
Another great video, Damien, the steering is not electric at all, your issue I think is down to two things 1- the tires, they are not meant for those temps, try replacing the tires with more street oriented Michelin 4S. I think yuo will be happier. When these tires finally get up to temp (about 49C) they feel great- but below that, they are not good. 2-the extra power means you need a more planted chassis and that makes the car less lively vs the 458. Beautiful car, I think it looks great as is.
enjoyed the video Damian 👍, (and great Spec on the car). Also enjoyed learning real ‘Italian’, ‘Spetchialay’ and ‘Peaceta’ are new words to me😂🙌brilliant. Subtle plug for the ‘Alpha Course’ on your 3 point turn outside the church 👍 and what had you just bought from Halfords (package in parcel shelf) 😂
The Halfords pack was the French Autoroute kit that you need when you drive in that country - which never gets checked.
@@TheCarGuysTV 👍 never bothered buying one (I was in the black 718 Spyder with you on the SCD Tour)
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Wll, a youtuber _did_ spec your car. You _are_ one! 😄
Good point! 😂😂😂
‘Beans’ past my brother-in-laws house.......😀........I can hear his Nissan Leaf eco-wailing from Surrey! Love it! 👍👌👏
Huzzah! 😂😂😂
I love the spec of your Pista
Beautiful spec for sure!!!
Thanks for such a great honest review - was waiting for this, especially the 458 Aperta comparison. On a completely seperate note ; would you ever consider a V8 Esprit (or S4S/ Sport 300) in the garage?
ps. I love the spec.
I’ve got a Grigio Ferro Speciale with gold wheels, so fantastic choice of specs. Another great video!
👍👍👍
Phwooarrr
Love the spec especially the interior do match well
Damian, you are a legend.
Thanks for driving your wonderful cars and producing remarkable content for us to enjoy. It brightens my day every time😎😎😎
👍👍
@@TheCarGuysTV Damien I have a question for you.I have a chance for buying a Ferrari pista spider nice spec.Prices are insane now the dealer is asking $725,000. I have a chance to get 812 GTS. Which one is the better investment? And will I take a beating if I buy the pista?. Your opinion is greatly valued
@@robertlulek1634 No-one should be charging that for a Pista Spider - that is ridiculous . Both are awesome cars
@@TheCarGuysTV It’s true but that’s what the prices are all going for right now it’s crazy
Love the spec! Painted shields are perfect.
They are!
Love the seats Damian, better than the 718 Spyders!
There are more Pista cars then there are 488 cars. That’s why they don’t number them, nor say how many were made. The VIN number on your car will be the way for the people in the future to record it’s existence as one of the very last’s if not the final car to come out the factory. It was a blessing in disguise to have you wait so long as they set you up with possibly the final car as well as arguably the best looking.
Very honest well done
Nope.
Damian just love your spec! BTW is there going to be a comparison video of the Williams Clio 2 and the Yaris GR?
Great shout 👍
Beautiful.
I have a 16M and the experience definitely makes you “tingle” each and every drive. The SF2 gear changes are explosive, the road feel is amazing, the classic beautiful pininfarina lines are sexy yet aggressive, and the stock exhaust will make your ears bleed! I also love being able to see the engine under glass and for some reason the old school canvas top feels special as well-perhaps it harkens back to a bygone era.
Love the 16M, and a bargain right now.
Looking forward to trying one of those - no doubt it's an epic car
@@realasscracka
Already did. I have an 812 GTS on order.
STUNNING car
Thank you 👏🏼🇬🇧
I think you chose a beautiful color combination on your Pista. Regarding the service time of 7 years, I have read in 2020 if I remember correctly. That Ferrari extends free service for a few years for up to a total of 14 years, but then there were apparently some requirements they had. Then when you hear questions if you are afraid that the value of the car will fall if you drive a lot, I get a little annoyed. Because in my opinion, Ferrari is built to be driven and if you are worried that the value will fall, you should not buy a car at all. For the price drops on all cars but different rates how fast it drops and you buy a Ferrari to drive and enjoy it.
I think the only thing I’d change would be to change the interior color to black , but it looks very nice the paint colors look great
