Well, drove about 500 miles over the weekend. Spotted, in no particular order:

550 Mara x2
575 Mara x1
550 Barchetta (rare?)
360 Modena x3
360 Spider x2
360 CS (x1) - thought it might be Kevin but no stripe alas
Mondial convertible
328 GTB

ALL in red. My American friends visiting now think we're a right rich bunch of SOBs, and why didn't we take them out in ours?

Lovely to see the cars being used as intended.

Modesty will get you everywhere, Brother Thomas.

For the benefit of those fortunate enough not to know Von Gregsterhaus, he owns Naples, Fl., USofA.

So don't 'come it' with the low rent eel peddler, you appalling little man.

Sir,

From the Ivory plated tower that is Restriction House, you appear to have misinterpreted a grammatical error on my part.

When I conjugated in my first post, when I used "we" I meant the population of the UK, and not myself and my good lady.

My wife and I are poor, simple people who enjoy the simpler things in life, as you are aware. In spite of this, we strive for self betterment, and look to persons such as your good self to provide a role model for one's life.

To that end, we hope one day to live on a palatial estate in the north west with a bugeoning car collection such as yours.

Yours,
Wretched of Daventry.

@ GregE240

On the subject of said growing car collection, Mr D, we have got another Sport 160 coming, virtually identical to the last one if your interested

I saw a very nice silver 550 Barchetta cruising along Sandbanks on Saturday... looked and sounded amazing... way better looking in the silver than in the red which I also saw on Sandbanks last year.

Drive down the kings road and you see most of these cars on no particular day.
