For a short time I was a member of a car club, cost me about £1700 for which I had access to "super-cars" Lotus' Porches Ferrari's, you bought points and different cars cost more or less points...anyway, they had a 348 spider which I rented for a long weekend, whilst it was fun to drive, it broke down 4 times, other people I knew had similar issues, it overheated, the gearbox was feeble, and the windscreen wipers stopped. The replica Cobra was more Leary and the 911 was more reliable and just as quick
Presumably, this is the petrol-head's equivalent of a luvvie realising he will never "Play the Dane"... (gesture, look sadly into the middle distance, adopt tragic demeanour).
I am lucky to have two good friends who own them, one owns several including an Enzo.
They are truly amazing bits of kit but I know the work and effort involved in aquiring one is way beyond what I'd be prepared to put in, I'm far too busy doing nothing.
Whilst it's nowhere near a supercar, I drove my sisters new (to her) Lotus Elise on Sunday and now quite fancy one myself. Unfortunately, house, engagement ring and a new sensible car will have to come first.
I don't think I'll ever buy a Ferrari as I can think of much better thing to spend the money on!
