It's like a guilty pleasure enjoying these videos.
Would love to be able to do that with a 288 GTO.

And mine. Nothing as beautiful before or since IMO.
The last truly great Ferrari. And the only classic car I will buy when/if those numbers come up.

But not that one. Its clearly been a bit thrashed.

It looked like it was driven how Ferrari intended. I saw nothing on there that suggested a thrashing.

Enjoyed it, mostly because there aren't enough 288GTO videos out there. Looking forward to the Michelotto one!!

Hell no, get it out on the road and on track. Enjoy proper pieces of flowing tarmac with the engine howling under load and growling back on the over run.

Drive for miles and get out feeling amazed by driving a piece of history to its limit.

Make that cars components work like they were meant to until you get the best from them.

Fulfill that cars potential. Don't treat it like a ned and his corsa on a Sunday night outside bnq.

Beautiful car but I can't help thinking what tw4ts the people are doing it. I liked the Bentley one because it was a bit fun and a bit of a pee take but to me this is just kids playing with daddies money and I can't respect that.

It's a wonderful car and should be shown some respect - if it were a benefits claiming scrote doing it in a nova or maestro in exactly the same format I believe most would be saying what a bunch of idiots..... Funny how you throw a bit of money at it and everyone thinks its brilliant.

Brilliant yet again from the boys. See the F40 at the end?

Penfold has a picture of it on his Instagram, it must belong to them too if not the one they had before.

Brilliant made me smile all through - too many F cars are owned by people who are scared of using them in case they lose money - get out there and have some fun!

Me neither. At the start of the video, when he fires up the engine and revs it, the oil temp gauge is sitting nicely in the middle so clearly he warmed it up before thumbup
