Ah, well thanks for the comments, really.

If any of you see me about flag me down for a ride.

There's a lot of trepidation taking on something like this. But it's helped if you know that other people enjoy it too.

I really like what you've said about Ferraris. I hope there is something there, perhaps just something untenable that marks them out from other cars.
Yes, this is exactly right. There really is something different and it's not the badge or the image. I read all the magazines, watch the TV shows, so I know that a GTR, 997TT, M5 or something else can be cheaper to run and go faster on a track. But I've been lucky enough to passenger in a few Ferraris before now and every time something feels special. It's the vibrations, the noises and the feel and feedback. They feel great even at 5mph. They feel and feed back like a Lotus Elise. And the ride/handling! The way they float above the road!

Love the Cuoio Natural Leather interior, quite rare in the UK, not everyones cup of tea but much nicer than Cream and more individual than Black.
Thanks for enlightening me as to interior colour. I love cream but this works too. Black doesn't seem right, not on a red car at least.

Nice car sir!....that's a challenge rear grill you have by the way - the normal one would be a solid body coloured panel.
Ah yes, I didn't know this until it was pointed out to me. Apparently worth a lot.

Seriously thanks, and free rides to all PHers! (I'm going to regret that aren't I)
