    which is why the ventilation doesn't work and it has the worst example of the "Italian ape" driving position.

    'King idiots,must be aimed at the latte' set with that crap muzak.

    The 35 is an extremely well known and used car and I would suspect be the pick of the bunch (well would for moi!).

    Nice treat, lovely cars, I’ll bet they’re a handful to drive, you’d have to have some patience to own one I can imagine, nevertheless that type 35 is a cracker.

    Had a drive of the new F8 today at QR.
    Well, the car is amazing. Turn in - razor sharp and super quick.
    The rear end is so planted, from the F1 inspired diff I suspect, it’s confidence inspiring.
    Understeer- more than I expected.
    Brakes - Not as good as I expected. I braked very late into turn 3 (with Warren Luff yelling at me to brake) and pretty much out braked myself. I honestly thought they would be better.
    Horsepower - to be honest, for someone of my limited ability, too much. It would be completely wasted on the road. I wouldn’t have much fun driving it. It would always be driving me. The driver aids were going all the time while I had it on the track, in race mode, which means I would probably have lost it 100 times without them or I’m ready for an F1 test drive. Either way, it wasn’t fun having the power cut in and out constantly, but without them, I’d probably be backing it into trees on the road, and not much satisfaction driving quickly.
    Luckily for me, at 6 - 700k, I’m not a buyer anyway so disregard my crappy review and go and drive one yourself.

    I think you bought the right car mate!!
    What’s the saying, more fun to drive a slower car fast, than a fast car slow

    Gizzi's car is gorgeous, in fact I now think a 355 would top my list, by a smidge over a 308. They're a bit too expensive now tho :(

    Both cars are beautiful designs, however a 308 is a thoroughly engineered, surprisingly rugged, reliable and user friendly. I don't think any of those words can be used for the 3 generations of cars that followed.
