Ferrari 360........
I went for a passenger ride in a Ferrari 360 on Saturday night. I have to say, what a gorgeous car, but sadly the owner couldn't drive for toffee.
I had the F1 shift and I think he thought he was playing the Playstation. If each gearshift had cost him £1 he would be skint by now.
Also, he so nearly wiped the front end out as he didn't see a deer in the middle of the road. I didn't say anything as I felt sure that he must have seen it, then about 20ft away I thought I ought to tell him!!
Made me a bit sick really, just because he has had a lucky break, he can jump in a car like that and not really appreciate it. He is only 24!!

end of the day you don't buy a Ferrari because it's the fastest thing on the road... you buy it just... because... You can't get what a ferrari gives u any other way..
The beauty is, you don't need to drive it round fast
Nothing else looks or sounds like them, or has the presence..

I'd rather have a porker tho over a Ferrari
Ferrari (the Rolex of the car world) - works of art / pretty to look at - nothing more. Bought and driven by people that want to buy into some street-cred (the sort that have no idea about cars, but know the name 
) - a trinket, like the obligatory trophy blonde that goes with it .
Porsche (the Omega of the car world) - total track-day / Ring weapons (and properly reliable), will still be going strong at 100k and have been designed and built to travel at excessive speed all day long
. IMO the 911 GT3 RS is the current coolest car in the world, can be tuned to 480bhp and rev to 10,500 in full GT format .

what like gareth lloyd??
F40 is the ONLY Ferrari that is different from the rest of the breed, as it was built to go racing . And you know I'm not just saying that, as I have always said the F40 is cool as fuck, but 360s are just bought as baubles by 
people .

Rich,
The bill ain't going to be cheap, he hit the armco on the last corner before the exit to the cafe at the mid-point of the track. "Looked" mainly cosmetic, but we couldn't see the extent of the damage due to the position of the car, but even a slow impact with an immovable object is going to cause a hell of a lot of damage.
Lee,
Even if you GAVE me a Ferrari 360, I would sell it and buy a 911.

Just out of interest, which car would you describe as the "Swatch" of performance motoring?
