Parked outside the restaurant we were at the other night. The F430 was nicer though.
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo... Again.

least its a right-hand-drive.

makes me laugh when you see someone drive past in a left-hand-drive 355 around here..

bit pointless if you ask me, cant exactly use it properly if you cant see past the vehicle in front!!

Would they be the posers though? :D

I think Id have a 356GTB I think it is.

Wankeurs, tbh. Id rather tootle about in a rust flecked 82 F150, and put the money to better use: half goes to a tour of SE asian massage parlors with "happy endings", the other goes to Oxfam. Renting a day at the track with such a beast is one thing, but driving it daily to make up for your tiny cock is laughable.

^^^  jelous ?

could say whats the point in spending all that money if you never get to use it ?   its the right time of your to get them out tbh.

Binary Shadow

love the "got a small cock with that sort of car" opinion its gotta be jelousy surely?, some of us love cars so want sommit a bit special.

I want a ferrari not to make up for anything but because i love the noise the look and everything about them, sure it wont be driven over winter but yes ill be out in it every summer and to hell with what other people think, its what i want so its what ill get and ill have worked damn hard to get it, so screw the world if they cant work for what they want sod em!!

if you can afford to run it as a daily car then whats the problem?

maximusotter

Driving such a car as a daily driver is like trying to keep a straight face while wearing crampons at the office.

Such a car belongs at a track or at a rallye. For day to day use, youre paying 10X the price of a proper city scoot, getting a sh*t harsh ride with no storage, and potential youll never be able to use. Its like paying 100K to a perpetual hooker thatll suck you off to within 10 seconds of orgasm, then punch you in the teeth.

It all depends on the driver.

Some use it for posing and making up of other defecits in their lives,

some hammer the arse off them and drive them for what they really are - a thoroughbred drivers-car with pretty good performance.

In all the track events & car shows Ive been to, Ive only ever seen one ferrari going round a track.

So Id say that 80+ % of ferrari owners just want it for posing ;)  shame really...

Binary Shadow

driving such a car as a daily driver lol

cars are built to be driven and even on the shortest drive my car gets used to a fair amount of its potential and dont assume i mean i go speeding everywhere

and if it belonged on a track it wouldnt have leather and air con etc. etc.

snellgrove

I can see where Max is coming from though

its a status thing isnt it, driving around in something like that.

and I dont think hes impressed by such things ;) quite the contrary.

I kinda agree, but I do always look at someone in a Ferrari... not becuase I think they are cool, but because they usually notice... and think they are cool themselves, and then give the car a whole load of grief.

They are happy as they think they are all that

and I am happy as I get to hear a Ferrari going for some high revs :D

Binary Shadow

its a shame that its a status thing, personally i think its just a bloody nice car and that itd be a good thing to drive lol if you could get the same car for Ã,£30,000 brand new then itd be less of a status thing and still just awesome, assuming they could build it the same for Ã,£30,000 which they couldnt

Id buy and drive the Murcielago I took around the track all the time if I could afford it and keep a second car for shopping and dirty work. I love that car and every moment sat in it would be time well spent, as tbh I get little satisfaction from driving these days, a car like that would change it. It was actually a good drive too in low gears; surprisingly smooth, they make them much more functional these days.

You see quite a lot more expensive wheels in NI than in the rest of the UK - Doesnt Ballymena have the most millionaires per square mile than anywhere in the UK?

Goblin

Bloody farmers or drug dealers the lot of them :)

I know North Down is, on average, the most expensive bit of Northern Ireland, but its more a high average than millionaireville. We do have a lot of nice high end (7 Series, 911s etc) round here though.

Average Northern Ireland house price is Ã,£154000, dont know how that compares to the rest of the UK.
