Sam rarely gets away from Kings Road so I'd disagree, Marylebone is an epic journey for him 42k miles in my 430 and counting. Almost 70k in my previous Db9 volante, and similar numbers on the v8 vantage, 911 etc. 430 still looks and feels new(ish) but with much better mechanics than all the garage queens that sit and rot. I seek out high milers rather than avoid them because they're far less prone to glitches and I get a better car for much less dosh.

So there I was, Sunday morning working at my desk preparing for next week. Outside the weather was crisp and the sky was blue.
One of my young daughters said I should take the Ferrari out since it was a nice morning. I replied I haven’t time as I have work to do.
The conversation progressed along the lines if you want to have nice things you have to work for them… The response was ‘you are always working.’
Did make me think…

I used my 430 spider, 599, Superleggera all as daily drivers. Best to use them & enjoy them! Sadly it's winter time so not using any of the toys at the moment with all the salt on the roads Bring on Spring ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps I should clarify what I meant. When referring to "toys" I meant specifically out of the cars I have, I don’t tend to use the older “more delicate” cars during the winter. I used all of the cars I mentioned previously, all year round, including the winter.
Last week there was no snow, ice or salt on the roads, so I had my F50 out for a blast.
I shall do my best to simplify and make my points more understandable for you next time!

I worked in the M&A (Business Sale) sector (still do) and this is one of the main reasons why many business owners sell their businesses. I don't know if its your business but, as The Specials said "Have fun, its later than you think"!One of my young daughters said I should take the Ferrari out since it was a nice morning.

+1That's partly why I got into 928's. At least 250K miles until a top end rebuild might be needed they just keep going....
