Rusting wheel nuts is a frequent problem on my porker. So don't hold that issue as Ferrari specific.

Well done Steve, I think that's the best choice actually.

Don't get me wrong, I love the 328/308 cars which I know you were looking at. But somehow I feel the NSX might be the better choice for your driving style! You're a nut, and there's no doubt about it. NSX can certainly handle the action. Great car, sounds v. nice too.

The 355 is running nice, I think she might have a manifold crack (sadly a known problem that Ferrari never really addressed properly). Other than that, I have to admit it feels a little underpowered. Drove an earlier 95 355 and overall it felt more powerful at lower revs. Also, the steering wheel is sooo much better.

Rich, I'll mail you through your profile in a minute.

I don't blame you for being pissed at the Ferrari (as Daz says, wheels nuts a bit excessive though!!!).

It's part of the character, as they'll keep telling you.

I'm not sure i like the Gallardo. It looks too technical and teutonic. Straight lines and slats, not very Lambo at all.

I am on the waiting list for one of those AMV8's though....

The Gallardo looks awesome in those larger pics doesn't it, although a touch clinical and german. It reminds me of all the new raft of VAG performance cars.

The DB8 is the finest looking thing I've ever seen though; pure class and an instant classic. Never mind about 0-60 nonsense, this piece of art transcends all stats and figures. The flowing lines are so timeless. I could imagine connery winding his way around the alps in a silver one. Superb! I just hope they will have a LOUD V8 rumble. Bring forth theTubi!
