ultimate car has to be the vayron! untill vw built them only cosworth owners would have taken a loss like that to prove a point!

 

It's because it's far too easy.

 

oohh thats one aint it,a ferrari is a ferrari.its the badge aint it.
a proper car.but it is slow for a ferrari and as said the mr2 kits have totally made me lose respect for them.
but an escort cos is the tits too.and cheaper to run. and faster probaly


too tough really but i have to say i think i'd be in the escort.
now if you had said a 550 maranello,thats different

 

as normal lee,, you are so right! i would still take the f40 though just so i dont show off my ugly head

 

All depends on what you want from a car. Where and how often you plan on using it.

My money would be on a GT3.

 

Porkie, where are you?

 

Have to admit I am performance through and through, and I would buy an Ultima GTR (and will be doing for my next "silly"car). Ferrari F40 is just everything that makes a car great, lightweight for its size, mad sound, tuneable, built for 1 purpose, awsome looks. I know stuff like the Macca F1 etc are probably much better cars, but the F40 is the stuff of boyhood dreams

I know F355's are great cars, I am not disputing that and no doubt I would love driving one, but I would be a bit dissapointed spending all that cash to have somthing no faster than a decent stg 3 saff , also tends to attract the hooorah henry crowd quite a bit. 360CS is the best of the baby ferraris, but they are serious ŁŁŁŁ

And I know Lambos are a bit agricultural, but they look fucking mental and tend to have mad petrol head owners as well

 

sunday blasts,,,,, nothing more,, i aint a good drive,,, and i dont like porsches enough to buy one!

i did drive a brand new boxster S the other day,, and i must say,,, what a driving machine

 

Andy's GT3 shout is a good one. I would have gone for one over the CSL but a) I got fed up saving and b) you can't get a pushchair in without the wife castrating you after her first attempt

Apart from that its a Ferrari FFS and leagues above the escos.

However, if this is instead of a house then I would have to go sensible and advise the house....

 

Keep the Escos and buy a house..

OR

Dont buy a 355, put a deposit down on a F430 and stick the rest on finance ..lol...

Al..

 

Even with interest rates going through the roof? might be more sensible to buy a silly car at the moment

 

True! our mortgage has gone up by over Ł100 a month since the rises started

 

If I had that money.. Neither of them

But if I had to, the ferrari.

 

im surprised you have to ask, 355 all day long

your sex life will improve no end

 

Watching Carrera GT prices....

Unless I win the lottery I can't see me ever be willing to spend the money a Bugatti costs on a car. They are proper money.

I do see myself winning the lottery actually.... which is weird as I don't actually buy a ticket ever

 

355 will probably work out cheaper to own if you leave it alone unlike the cossie!

 

GOD YES

 

Lol @ the thread title...

Why not buy a dictionary...then there wouldn't be a ''dilemer''

 

The problem is the grass always seems greener on the other side, but I personally think that unless you have driven one for more than several hundred miles, you may end up being severely disappointed with it once the novelty has worn off.

I get to drive lots of cars and very few give the same draw as a Cossie and once the novelty ("look at me") value has worn off, will you still enjoy it? Given the running costs of owning one of these, I personally think they are a bit pointless, as you're always scared of devaluing it or getting to that next BIG service (I thought the Esprit cambelt change was expensive at Ł1k from a Lotus dealer, but I have heard figures bandied around of 3-5 times that for the 355 ).

However, given your love for them, and your penchant for "look at me" haircuts, perhaps it will suit you down to the ground .

 

thats the sole reason why i havent broken it already mike! i do love the cossie on the right day! its all running nice, i cant stop smiling!

 

Keep the Cossie mate, and use it

 

Well given that YOU are the tuner, how come it's not ALWAYS running nice?

 

well, you'd definitely get more honeys with a Ferrari than an escort. performance doesn't matter to most chicas but they love it when it says ferrari.

 

im a tuner/podger that should explain it nicely

 

any chick i pull because i was driving a ferrari is a chick i wouldnt like to be about

 

Need i say anything here Gareth

Mike

 

excellent

but nothing beats the noise of a f40

f40's sound shite really,,, and that LM is no excpetion

THIS is a propper car sound

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EKUVaDDNH8w

 

Now post up a PROPER engine sound - F50 .

i'd say the rari but i do like them alot

but that stradal sounds amzing as he blips it down the gears at the end

 

Sorry to thread hijack a bit gareth...but lmao@the small ads sig...Jimmy Carr?

 

Porsche 911 GT3 in white, paint the wheels anthracite.. job done!!

 

much better car than a f355,,, but i dont like them

 

Id keep the cossie as the grass isnt always greener on the other side, compare the running and service costs of both cars and see if you can afford to run the ferrari

Everytime a see a ferrari i think flash cunt but when i see an escort cossie im like

 

Cant believe people are saying 355's are slow..

there are a few that do all the tracks days at Knockhill and they are always some of the fastest cars on track.

 

..i cant beleive people dissing a Ferrari when they only own a ford

..Gareth the 355 is not worth the xtra over the 348 IMHO..have the 348 on 355 wheels and the escos

..i was gonna go 360..but bought the XKR Jag instead to go with my 348!

 

exactly
