    Here's a strange question for all you owners ...

    How long per week do you all spend with your Ferrari ? I don't mean driving it, more : Gazing at it and admiring it's beauty, thinking how you could improve it, general tinkering, cleaning etc ?

    I can personally stand looking at mine from various angles for ages, i spend a good 8 hours plus / week tinkering around (tiny paint repairs, modifications, cleaning etc etc) I've owned it for 3 years, but my enthusiasm for it is still the same as when i first got it !

    Its great that you are just as enthusiastic as when you 1st got the car. So am i. :) The only problem is,that my car lives at my brothers place,only 2km away,but i dont go over and admire the car as much as if i had it here at my place. Only go over and take it for drives and tinker with it,but only around 2 hours per week of driving,if im lucky. It gets very boring very quickly here......even driving a ferrari. The roads are crap ect... Cheers :D

    I know what you mean. Sadly it all comes down to time (and money). I have a list of small jobs that I wish to do but I find it hard to justify the time.

    I still get a buzz when I see the car sitting in the garage - especially if its a bright sunny morning and I've got the keys in my hand!

    Working overseas half the time is dreadful in this respect!

    I really do get separation anxiety!!! But there`s no feeling like getting back to her and being able to take in those luverly curves again ;-) -Why does it sound like I`m talking about another woman here!!?

    Yes, I`d certainly say that "admiring" is every bit as exciting now as it was the day that I bought her and drove her home two years back.
