I said it was an accident! 
I thought you would have appreciated some hard, throbbing, red bloodied Italian with fantastic performance hour after hour every single day?
It also goes down on command and can become fully erect in an instant.
What a roof!
Now you mention it... although I’ve never had anything quite as exotic in my garage. Just the regular run of the mill, high mileage, battered cheap rubbish, and the cars. Perhaps the odd thoroughbred. I do like a well to do English breed, something big upfront, decent ‘torque’ with power in the rear...

Good to hear from you over in this corner of PH.
Thank you. I agree completely,
I might get one for the Aston or Bentley, but as Ferrari are not competing in it, that would be pushing it a bit too far!
I trust you and yours are keeping well.
Cheers

We have all been there, been sold something on a promise that turns out to be unreliable, high maintenance rubbish, or just lets you down and leaves you stranded, but being better people we pick ourselves up and move on.I agree the English breed is excellent. Raw power and consistent performance always available on demand from something big up front, together with constant reliability regardless of conditions, has a lot to be said for.
But sometimes the exotic has a place, particularly if you often like to enjoy this performance coming from behind.

I bought a Porsche Boxster when they first came out (late 90's IIRC) and I have to say it was the most fun car I have ever had.
They are simply brilliant and have just improved over time.
Yes, the Ferrari was browsing classifieds here one sleepless nigh last week after getting everything ready for secure home access to servers.
It accidentally ended up on my drive Saturday morning!
I have to go now as I haven't looked at it for 10 minutes!

I’ve got this at workI trust you and yours are well and thanks a bunch, I now can't erase that image from my mind!
I’ll even put my medical gloves on for you
If you feel that in your professional opinion it would be best for you to give me a serious going over with your medical gloves, then in the interest of national safety I would be firmly compliant, very firmly compliant indeed.

What an epic adventure!
This pool must be a godsend bow thst we are confined to home...
I hope you are enjoying th fruits of LRDISCOs labour (and your hard earned). Thst is if you are managing to calm down all those who invested in the markets and are currently in shock at portfolio values (that Inc me!)
I admire your perseverance and am glad you enjoyed it as it was brilliant fun at the time! What an epic adventure!

Yes, on sunny days like this the pool does somewhat ease the hardship!
Our Private Clients are a savvy bunch and most have taken the opportunity to buy at a discount. One of the most basic facts about investing is this does happen from time to time and I have been through 2 that were much worse than this and come out on top both times.
Do be careful about using any spare time or sleepless nights to make impulsive decisions, such as accidentally buying a Ferrari!
What sort of plonker would do that!
(You can also see the proper pool house that replaced the World's Worse Shed! The bar - though I have just realised you can't see it properly in the above pic - is going to be called "Forky's"!
