One of my favourite columnist, so for this month

he says,"I wonder if today’s enthusiasts will be able to bond with automobiles the way people of my generation could. People who work on cars, and understand how they work, probably have fewer accidents than people who don’t. They get to really understand how the car drives and how it feels and how everything works.


There’s a website called Wrecked Exotics. It’s about people who have crashed exotic cars, most within a few weeks of owning them. It’s always a brand new GTR, a brand new Corvette, lots of Lamborghinis, lots of Porsches. It’s rarely a classic that someone has waxed, polished, changed the oil and filters. They’re vehicles that people have bought for every reason other than driving.

I’m always amazed at people who want to own exotic cars and couldn’t care less what’s under the hood. I just don’t understand what their passion is, what their reason is for wanting them. I spoke to someone I know in showbusiness, who had wrecked a brand new Porsche and they were going to get another one. I know that’s what people normally do, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of remorse. To me, wrecking a car is like breaking up with a girlfriend – I put a lot of work into trying to make a car work properly, as opposed to buying one, wrecking it and buying another one. I just wonder if this next generation of enthusiasts feels that way… or if they feel that cars are throwaway.


One reason I don’t have a Ferrari is that no private person can work on one themself. Just the Ferrari tools and the diagnostics that plug in, I was told, cost something like ,000. Ferrari doesn’t want people fooling with its cars, and I suppose for good reason, but that just puts me off. I want to be involved and I want to know how they work."

Now he is my hero strange that he dosn't own a classic Ferrari? This guy has anything from a steam machine, yes, 2 century ago's steamer to Bugattis & a lot more.

That would be really nice! Had this idea as well but we can only find the 4 doors here

 

Plates aside, love the Scirocco in that shade of blue though it's not a R. Have always been my choice for a first car!

 

May I be added to the blog too? Miss your hilarious posts!

 

Derek, you need to restore the image of the C63 as a Q-car. Mr Hyde has been coming to play too often, we need Mr Jekyll back

 

Earlier today.

I just saw Karsono taking delivery of his 458 & to my amusement he promptly drove across the road and parked it out front of the Porsche dealership for all to see.

everything about the description sounds accurate .. except maybe the "driving it very slowly" part
