    Lol.

    I’m sure you know that I meant like an old school sports car with modern levels of comfort, safety, convenience, and reliability.
    Manual gearbox, hydraulic steering, relatively simple systems, and all about maximum driver involvement.
    The right balance of power, weight, and handling to have fun without having to drive at ridiculous speeds.

    If Ferrari made a car like that - say 450hp, 1400kg, 355/360 dimensions, relatively simple systems and beautiful styling - they could probably sell it for $500k and there’d be a five year waiting list.

    All the current Ferraris are enormous, ridiculously fast to the point where I’m not sure how much fun they can be on a public road, and rather heavy not to mention extremely complicated.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still love Ferrari but there isn’t a current one I’d swap the Emira for.

    Maybe a 296GTS but I’m not even sure of that. And that realisation surprises me.

    Hmmmm. Still wish I could have bagged a set of white Challenge wheels from Moretti…

    (Yeah I know these are six spoke compared to five etc etc.)

    :D

    Got myself a new motor bike last week, took the 360 out for a drive today, got it out the garage to warm up and couldn't resist getting a quick pic, I should do a proper photo shoot of them together
