Swing and a miss.

Brad, your old car is still perfect, it's now done 36k miles and chewed a set of michelins. Every drop of petrol has been exploited to the full and every horse under the lid gets to stretch their legs regularly.
Why anyone would buy one and not use it defies belief, may as well have corned beef rather than thorough bred.
As well you know, a bit of man maths is needed to justify some costs but at least insurance is cheap.
I'm so glad I bought it and not some of the safer but duller options, only a 458 would be good enough to replace it for me!

You kept the Ferrari a lot longer, why not the lambo?
Have you had some test drives yet or are you more a buy on impulse kinda guy?

Fantastic to hear you're enjoying her mate, I loved that car, I miss it every day. I was looking through some old pics the other day of her parked on my drive covered in snow, I went out for a drive anyway to Southend that day to look at the ice, we parked on the slabs outside the arcades, the place was dead, just a 430 that shouldn't have been there! The car didn't miss a beat.
My other half loved it as well, she drove it lots, she won't drive the LP though, she says she can't see out of it!

Still no test drives yet, work is mental busy, no free time at all.
I won't drive the 458 but I will drive both the Huracan and the 650s when I can find the time. Spoken to McLaren and they are talking about a 4 monthish build time so if I go that way I could have it for next summer.

Great to see you still want another big engined super car, even when rounded down to the two, it's a tough choice, in your shoes, I'd buy the mclaren.
British built so you'd be doing the rest of us a favour, more of a change, faster, easy factory visits to see the build and a little bit more of an enthusiasts brand.
I'm fortunate where I live that cars like these are few and far between, so I don't have head turned by the younger models.
