I’m gonna punch myself for saying this but that does nothing for me in silver.

I know what you mean...still you wouldn’t throw it out of bed.

I saw one these years ago and was always very taken with them.

Just caught up on the videos on Jordan's page last night, great viewing and easy watching! Jordan is very likable on the camera, i've tried watching some of the well known youtuber car videos in the past and had to turn them off after a couple of minutes, you two are both just very genuine.

I've always kind of taken your love for the 595 over everything else as a kind of tongue in cheek sort of thing but also as a nod to how good it is but after the videos i realise you're 100% serious

Had a Lamborghini Urus year past me this morning in the way to work, sounded absolutely beautiful. Did you consider this when you got your Bentayga Pete, or did your dislike for Lamborghini write it off straight away? Was it Bentley all the way?

I think the more correct analogy would be 'would you pay 10k to shag an ugly hooker'

Oh absolutely serious, in fact I’m that serious about how great that car is I have to correct you, it’s a 695 not a 595

Yeah I like the Urus, we tried to get one before the Bentayga but they hadn’t been released by then.
Now I’ve seen a fair few on the road, I must say I think they’ll age quite quickly. Can’t wait for Ferrari’s SUV.

Hey they’ve got to make a living some way.

I’ve still got the AMV12S, literally took delivery of it. Drove it and stuck it away forever. Yes I know I could sell it but I really like the colour. I think it’s got a total of 44 miles on the clock. It’s just a really underwhelming car, all noise and very little in the way of performance.

This really upsets me, for as long as I can remember I've loved the V12S and the DBS (drove a DBS on a supercar experience day and was completely blown away and smitten, my only driving experience prior to this was my MK1 MX5 and my old celica 140) both would be my first 2 purchases should a lottery win ever happen or some rich uncle I don't know about pops it!

The V12S would be the same colour as yours and the DBS would be pearl white with red interior accents

Pete - are you at the level now where your Ferrari dealer will just throw you the keys to any car for a test drive for a few days?

Yes, most definitely. Although I never do, too many forms to fill out and sign haha.

Mate bring it back with a full tank yeah or it's £3.00 a litre yeah. Sign here...

Pete, are there any Ferraris you don't like, wouldn't buy, detest (delete as appropriate)?

I must pay more attention in future!

Awh sorry for bursting your bubble mate. If it makes you feel better though, one of my all time favourite cars is the Mk1 MX-5, had loads of these, absolutely love them. Much more fun than the Aston’s.

Exactly this haha. That’s why I don’t bother.
Yeah Ferrari Wilmslow have started getting like this to be honest.
I went to them originally about the 488 pista and they said “nah can’t get you one, all our allocation has gone”.
I went to Leeds and then was like “yeah no problems”. Then I found out that Wilmslow gave a Pista to a customer that only has 1 Ferrari!!!!
The same happened with the 812, so I went to Leeds and specced one instantly.
It’s their level of service too, Wilmslow just lie to you and tell you what you want to hear but don’t actually deliver on anything.
So that’s me done with them now, which is a shame as they’re round the corner. Now I’ll travel 40+ miles to Leeds for proper service.

It's all good mate, what works for one wont always work for another

I miss that MX5 almost everyday, definitely getting into another one in the next few months!

And you've probably made some good mates at the dealership who see you more than just their next deal.

I'm with you only colour for SWB is TDF

[anniesdad]

Pete, any love for the 575 HGTC. A friend of mine used to own a manual 575 Fiorano and it was a wonderful car. One of my all time fav's, such a lovely car to look at aswell, at least with these eyes.

Yeah, but, remember that Pete is coming from a very different point of view, obviously I respect the opinion and its an interesting insight but he has had vast experience of hundreds of spectacular motors and most of us dont, I get that in that company it doesn't compete but for the rest of us its still a very nice car.

Still wouldn't buy one though, I love how Astons look but for some reason they dont grab me, they arent really in the Ferrari/Lambo realm, sort of straddle a niche between Jags and more exotic stuff.

One thing I would suggest that the tip about the 500 695 is a great one for those on a tighter budget, ok, they are still pricey and would drive you batst day to day, but the normal ones are great as well, local car spares shop has had one for sale for ages, £5995 I think it is, 09 plate, looks ace.

I was talking to the chap in our local tyre place when getting an MOT and I clocked him going to his car, an M135i so I asked him about it as I was looking for mine at the time, he said he quite likes it but he was missing his previous car, a Fiat 500 Abarth which he had modified extensively mechanically, the BMW was faster but a boring pudding in comparison and he was yearning to get back in a 500 Abarth.

We looked at one for the missus with some weird gearbox but it was too expensive and like driving an excitable Jack Russell which has had a insanity sauce smeared on its bum.


So, sod Astons, get a 500 Abarth, a normal one and spend a couple of grand on modding it.


Pete, you eve had an original 500 ? we have had two (wifes idea) quite good fun but bloody hard work, well the ropey ones we bought were.

Apologies if you're not keen to let everyone know, but I'll ask again what is the number (of the 99 made) of your Biposto ?
