Ownership history question

[tescor]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was just wondering how you all worked your way up to owning such nice exotica?

Did you build up gradually, e.g. owning Golf GTIs then Porsche 911s etc, or dive straight in with your current car?

I'd imagine going straight from a Ford Focus to a Lambo\Ferrari must be, ...umm... fun!

Cheers

"..then Porsche 911s..."

That sir, be the touch paper

I went the usual route from DeLorean DMC12 to F355.

Built up over time... Doubt many go straight to supercars

Shed,small to big bikes, briefcase and then Fcars.
Avoid owning sports bikes in your 20’s as normal cars in your 30’s just don’t cut it.
125cc to a 600cc CBR at 22 is much like switching between a 200bhp to whole lot more at 32.
Both switches are a lot of fun but you know it's a one way ticket until you grow up.

Went straight from my Evo IV to the Superleggera. My modded Evo IV was faster than the lambo though but obviously not as nice a ride.

Fiat regatta 85 super as a 'wet day' car for the Westfield, Peugeot 306 diesel while I had the 944 for days when the 944 would overheat in traffic or melt in the rain...

The car I had before buying my first Ferrari (360) was a Peugeot 306 GTi-6. Quite a step in many regards...

[Jonty355]

I worked my way through various kit cars until taking the plunge with the 355. Rear wheel drive experience is much advised... unless you decide to go for one of them soft 4wd Lambos!

I haven't hit the last step yet but have had a fun increasing list:

Clio 1.2 74hp
BMW 123d 204hp
Audi S5 333hp
AM V8V 420hp
Next TBC!
