    My gf got me a voucher for my birthday so I drove a Ferrari 360 at the weekend. In fairness, she was some yoke to go (the Ferrari). I don't know much about the workings of transmissions etc so I'm wondering if someone on here can explain something to me.

    Ok, I didn't use the paddle shift thingys much just drove it in auto mode and it behaved much like my everyday boring old automatic Volvo. The only difference was when I put my foot on the brake at traffic lights, roundabouts etc the engine was revving away on it's own as if I had pressed the clutch and was revving it myself boy racer style. How does that work? In layman's terms please!

    Ouch! That sounds expensive. I wouldn't have a clue. Anyone near me at lights would have thought I was revving the b****x out of it. Sounded great I have to say.

    According to my experience (watching Top Gear mostly) it takes more than pressing a brake pedal to activate it :)
