Arrrgh!

[F.C.]

I put a deposit down on a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale today, best I have ever seen! less than 2000 miles, had a full Maranello service with belts 5 days ago.
Took it for a test drive, lovely.
Went home and phoned an hour later to pay money, sorted!
call twenty minutes later, sorry, while I was paying my deposit another salesman had already taken another deposit for Monday delivery
Cest La Vie! Gallardo here I come.

A shame Tony, what coplour was she?

[F.C.]

Red with factory stripe .
However I found a nicely specced 07 manual F430 today a bit more dosh but I'm doing the man maths to justify right now.
The thing is the mrs likes the F430 better than the C.S. ... so I don't have to convince her that its a good idea.
Downside is I may have to let the M400 go coz of the extra £££'s

Do you think we'd get a bulk discount if we bought two?

[nigelw]

wasnt it Kerry Catonas husband who coined the classic phrase " goodbye ferrari , hello Lamborghini ? " ...please note ! I am not remotely suggesting you are like him , but it was a class quote !

Congrats - v nice - the Mrs will be pleased

[AMG Merc]

Way to go - prancing horse always wins that comparison race- IMHO!

[F.C.]

Thanks, still agonizing over the thought of spending so much dosh and having to say goodbye to the Noble I'm afraid.
Just can't cope with having two highly strung super-cars

I nearly went for Ecurie, but I tend to be very impulsive when I want to drive or go for a week-end break etc, my business activities don't leave much scope for planning ahead so I decided to own instead.

In practice ecurie has plenty of choice left for the weekends due to their good car to member ratio. Last year I only booked the F430, all the other 6 weekends I 'impulse' took out a car, and seemed to have drive a large range.

Plus also I couldn't get rid of the Noble, and there is no more space in my multiple garages for any cars any more (although I may have a solution to that problem)

Sure you'll love it, it's a cracking car - one of the best out there IMHO.
