Also open an animal rescue home in my area!

I'd buy my nice house, the 355 I've always wanted, a couplle of track cars to keep me amused.

I'd buy a load of cheap property, and spend my time divided between looking after that, and track days, various adrenalin seeking thrills.

Seen Thomas Crown Affair - bit like that, but scaled down a touch!

Oh no, you don't want to come down to Cornwall, it's not that great, it's ok for a few months maybe, but when you've lived here all your life, it's pants!!!

Cant really think of anything that my life needs that doesnt have except a rolling road at the moment TBH

Got bird i like, got job i like, got cars i like, got house i like etc

I guess with that sort of money i could buy all the remaining 348's in silver, as if there was enough in surge of demand from them they might go up to being worth much more than 20 grand (unlike now) and then when you keep trying to bang on about yours as if its worth a large amount of money you might not be talking such crap anymore?????

Phil, trade price on a silver 348 with full service history, even RHD isnt much over 20k, if whoever sold you yours convinced you otherwise then fairplay to them!

I didnt say your car was worth exactly 20K, i said it wasnt worth much over 20K, ie not worth 30K for example (which is much more than 20K)

Its not rocket science Phil, even you should be able to grasp the fact!

Its a cheap and cheerful ferrari, im not dissing it, i actually think its quite a nice car, my mate has had a 348 for years and ive always quite liked them, but at the end of the day a silver 10 year old (or whatever) 348 doesnt suddenly make you Rich in the way most people use the word!
you talk about it like its an enzo!

Talking of Enzos I would deffo be shipping one of those in if I win the Ł66m and a Carrera GT, and a Macca F1 LM.

Helicopters are way cool as well Gareth. I know the big ones are mega expensive but the little ones aren't as crazy as you think!

HUUUUUGE house, designed by me with a seperate log cabin for guest's or to chill out

Lots of land surrounding, with a huge driveway with huge iron gates to keep the scum out

oh and ofcourse the obligitory "garage(s)" One as a workshop, with 2 x 4 poster ramps. a good compressor, a wall covered in snap on tools, workbench, vices, air tools, kettle, toilet


one garage would be ford only, cosworths, rs200, mk1/2's modified concourse S1, mental bhp S2. . and that 600oddbhp mk6? fiesta would be MINE

other garage, an asortment of other marques, big bhp skyline, X5 supercharged on chrome 22's, white leather and some exotic cars

lil shed, to house my jet ski oh lets put an extension on for some motorbikes!
GSXR1000, YZF R1, Ninja, all modded with the best of gear Kawasaki KX250 proper trials/motorcross!


House. . damn, im runing out of cash wardrobe full of the best clothes namely D&G, hugo boss, none of this prada stuff though, thats just "show off" white carpet throughought! exept the master bathroom and kitchen which would feature a huge bath/jacuzzi sunken into the floor.

Women, well who needs to buy when your as rich as me


i better stop, and save some money before i become bankrupt before i have won, good luck, party at the log cabin if i win

I dont believe there is a "book price" for a 3 door mate, but 4300 must have felt nice to you as i know how much you love to be buttfucked!

Thats the worst bit of car dealing ive ever heard of, Marky must still be pissing himself laughing at you!

So go on then Phil, how much do YOU think is a good price to buy a silver 348 RHD (with service history thats horrificly overdue, 3 years over in fact IIRC, on the cambelt) for?

Chip unlike some....the car needed welding to the front which was cleverly disguised..in fact looked so good it was factory....until the filler cracked ..as i was saying unlike some i was honest...and instead of bodging it and keeping quiet and selling for say 6.5k without the 2k' of goodies and making a profit i decieded that one should never stitch up a fellow Ford freak...so after checking the books Ł4300 was the book price WITHOUT innerwing cracking...so i got my money back...made mark a happy chap in giving him his first 3 dr whilst i was safe in the knowledge i never stiffed him...i feel good about that...dealer goes out the window if you are in a certain group passionate for fords So call me what you want Chimp.... You dont have to be crooked to make money

As for 348's.....my car ismint not the best selling colour which was to my advantage.....its worth around 28k to the right person....not a car to buy and sell though...would take ages to sell it.....an equvilant red 348 is 30k for the equivilant year....a silver lhd would go for about 22k and a red lhd for 25k....

Cambelt is 2 years over but the milege is only 10k in 5 years...book is all stamped by Ferrari dealer.....FULLY

Phil, so its worth 28K to the right person you reckon?

Thats IF it was full history (which it isnt as history on a 348 is milage dependant AND time dependant) and thats after you have spent 2K on it for a service.

and thats only to the right person at full retail price from a dealer with a warranty, not bought trade.

So how the hell does that not equal to "not much over 20K at trade price" like i said in the first fucking place????????

If I won Ł66m, I'd be travelling to/from work in one of these (I'd buy the property next door to work, and convert that to a landing pad; same with the petrol station and garages over the road from my house)!



Or I could just buy the property next to work, and convert it into a mansion!
