    Guys

    I was wondering if we could get a new topic going which let us know how many toys you own? Do you have more than one ferrari? Do you have a ferrari and another classic that sits in your garage!!! pics would be cool!!! I guess that I am just trying to justify owning several cars that sit in the garage!!!!

    The problem is i dont really want to sell any of them but i need the space,
    i can fit the MG Midget and 4 scooters in my garage at the moment but only one gt4 and no space for anything else!
    Dont suppose anyones got a nice air conditioned lock up in the North East i could rent?
    But yes EBAY is the obvious option!

    Nice cars.. A black 328 with tan interior looks the biz.... The Lancia is also a cracking looking car.. do you drive them all often?

    Talk about horses for courses...that little lot sounds heavenly if the roads are like the ones in your pic of the Ferrari!

    I especially like the Fulvia, and have considered getting one myself.

    Thanks guys,
    I like to think its a mix for all occasions. Thankfully the roads here really are like in the picture of the 328....that pass is about 90 mins from me. Take a look at the Andermatt thread in the european section or ask the two Mark/cs what the passes are like...even when its raining.

    The Healey is nice and torquey and the fcar has enough power, so twisty turny hills are a lot of fun in both. The Lancia is a gem...its only the 1300 but if you keep it wound up <6000rpm its amazing. I bought it in Bologna and thought I'd have trouble on the San Bernardino coming back home...no problems. A fun car...think Sletti used to own one.....would highly recomend one, but in the UK they're nearly all rusty.

    Cheers

    No, no other classics. I have trouble finding the time to drive the 355!

    I do have a number of electric guitars, but that is not the point of this thread...
