What is up guys? Let's start this video properly. With a bit of noise. You joined me in the Ferrari, obviously. You could probably tell by the title and thumbnail of this video. I've got three euros in my hand because I'm arriving as a toll charge. I'm dropping off my car at a garage, but we'll get all of that in a second. I'm probably wondering, oh no, what's your going to talk about in this video? Basically, you're going to give your run-through of all the little maintenance things that I have to do on this car since owning it. I got it in late November, not on my birthday, 22nd of November. Yeah, it's the ultimate birthday gift to myself. That was, anyway, that was a great day. The video is going to be somewhere around. So, this guy has surprised me by I've actually had to do quite a bit more maintenance than I thought. Little things, nothing major, touch wood. And every time I thought it's not quite enough to make a video out of it, like, what am I going to talk about? So, I thought I'd just do one video talking about all of it at once. Anyway, it's a plate. I really did cheat to you too, my darling. Then I feel like it was worth a whole video. So, when I bought this car, I made sure, you know, obviously it's a bit too. It was the biggest purchase and still it the biggest purchase I've ever made. I wanted it to be top notch. So, brand new brakes on this one, 5% wear on the brakes, 5% wear on the clutch. Her car was in a spitswatt condition, all good. I get the car driving around, no problems at all. Then, bit by bit, a few things start happening. So, example, I started to notice that the Alcantara was coming on the glute in different areas around the cabin of the car. So, I had to go in and take it in for a service anyways. I mentioned it to the guys at Ferrari. Who told me, look, this is completely normal. It happens on 599 GTO, this is going to be real. This time, it should be all the older Ferrari's. Just by nature, them being slightly older, things start coming on the glute. Driving a Ferrari in Italy is pretty special actually. I'm just realizing. So, yes, the things are coming on glute. I did the car in for a service. And they called me 900 euros to stick the whole interior back together. Now, it was mine. Right, the things I've never done. Not only for me, like this thing is my baby, it's like my child. And I'm super close to me about it always being top notch and perfect. So, I decided, you know what? It's quite the button. It's doing it. I have the whole interior kind of redone. They redid the up entire. Anyways, completely man-spanking new now. It looks great and I feel so good. And it's actually, I mean, it's a lot of money, but it wasn't, you know, as much as I feared it might be. That plus the service came to 1500 euros. So, 1500 euros, this car is out of quarantine. Obviously, they're being 11 years old. I think it actually really good with quarantine. They give us 70-year warranty with brand new cars, which is pretty nuts. Fantastic. So, that was the first thing and I left that thinking, everything will be fine. The guys at Ferrari were actually lovely. I'd heard horror stories about when you take your cars to the Ferrari. You know, shit there. They're, you know, super kind of cocky with Ferrari. You guys are not thinking of it to us. Whereas these guys are super nice and right. They're all shit we've all had to go. They're lovely. So, a really good experience there. I left there. And maybe a month later or so. I ended up noticing it will happen twice. Whereas I was accelerating, I tried to change gear and the car went into neutral for no reason. So, panicked a little bit, took it back to Ferrari, thinking, you know what? Better get this kind of old jet. So, they check it all up. See, you know, I personally thought it might be a problem with the pressure of the gearbox. Those are different kind of outlooks as to what it could have been. In the end, we checked if everything turns out it was fine. So, the other car which is going to neutral for no apparent reason. So, I take it back to Ferrari once. They check it all up. Nothing. Take it back to Ferrari's second time. So, it happened once. They check it there. They said not to worry. Took it back a second time. They did a more intensive check. They filled up all the levels of everything. What a nightmare this for. So, I'm trying to do a comprehensive video here, guys. This is making it a wee bit tricky. Right, don't spank it into a wall set. We're good to go. So, having one stick of the habit twice, did it more intensively. They tell me I've now got off down because I drive this car over the place. I'm going to drive it, obviously, over here. It's a scatter driving pretty high. 9% were now on the gearbox. No problem. They chopped everything up. I'm having that issue again. Nothing to worry about. So, that's fantastic. Then, a month after it, I am driving the car. And I started hearing a tick, tick, tick, tick, tick noise around front. Now, I've been told that because of the exhaust on this thing, and how kind of race color-ish and rugged these are. They shake. They're own. They shake their own nuts and bolts off, basically. So, you need to go in and get a check if you want to know what. So, I forget that's better. What it is, back to Ferrari. They check what it is. Well, they actually lift the car on the spot. I mean, again, they were incredible because they took the car. And instantly lifted it off and off now, I was on the road again. They charged me a cent for it. Lift the car off and noticed that there was just one screw that's come untied. There's like 10. So, apparently that's something I need to just keep checking. Because of the vibrations in this thing. It unscrews its own screws. So, there was a screw, something diffused. I mean, nothing bad, like, I hadn't led to anything. And the only thing that was unscrewed and kind of hitting a little bit, is an aftermarket, splitter protection. So, something as loose, you just need to protect the front of the car anyways. So, nothing bad, that's all came out of that. And we noticed while looking around the car, that the front headlights were kind of crackling a little bit. So, I asked the guy, you know, and he just looked, again, this is one of those things that all the Ferrari's do with humidity. Front headlights start crackling after a while and actually it happened. Not after, you know, 10 years after, a year or something. So, I asked him how much to replace that it was something new to Chris. I don't remember, but like, $3,000 ahead light. One piece of the line with the cover. So, ended up deciding, let's put, because there's no point in doing it, and the guy told me, it's going to come back anyways, you can replace them. And it's going to come back in like six months. So, I decided not to replace the front headlights, and we put a black tint on the front headlights, which actually means you cannot see the crackling, that's all anymore. And since he's told me that, I've seen like a FAM, and a GTO, another Skid, and I've gone up and looked, and they all seem to have it. So, he seems to just be a normal thing, and you just have to accept it. But, the front tint is going to get rid of all of them. Anyway, all of this, why am I telling you all of this? Because I feel, whenever I've been watching videos on Ferrari's, or when I look at getting this car, all these maintenance videos, they didn't really tell me about all the little day-to-day things you need to take care of. So, I really just wanted to show him, he does nothing bad at all, it's completely normal. And you have these things on these cars, and I'm just, as I said, super low-city, we're running the car to be in like, tip-top condition at all times, ready to go to the Nürburgring, and get absolutely spanked if I wanted to. So, maybe that's just me, but the conclusion is, I've been spending, you know, this car has been to the Ferrari garage, for nothing serious, and I've only come up paying $1500, at all of it, but it's been, what, five, six times, to the Ferrari garage, since I had it in November. So, I just wanted to share that with you and share the truth, on what it is to own one of these cars, because whilst they are incredible, they are also a little bit more fragile, than other cars, especially, the old ones, like this, are challenged to buy a five-year-old scooter, five-year-old scooter, five-year-old GT-R. So, yeah, I mean, I just wanted to make a video running through all of the little things, that I've had to do to the car, and open interest to. So, that's pretty much it, Dutch wood, I mean, all that to say, I don't want to sound like the garage is just complaining, complaining, complaining. I love this car, and it's unbelievable, and you can tell I'm driving it now, it's running perfectly, and it's a machine created by God Himself. So, I love it, but the reality of it is, it needs a little bit more pampering, and a little bit of touching here and there, to make sure it's going well, and that's the reality of the situation. Nothing wrong with it, but why not share it with the community? Right, I've arrived, so I'm going to let you guys go. Thank you for watching this video, if you enjoyed it, please do subscribe.
