I am in two minds about Chris Evans.

I am not a fan of his radio show.

I somehow find the fact he paints all his Ferrari's white, with a white player piano frankly a bit naff and pretentious.

He is a bit annoying.

However, he is a true Ferrari nerd (he can talk at great length about each individual one) and that clearly shows genuine passion rather than brand nonsense.

He opens up the collection in the name of charity every now and then and fair play to him.

I do not deny I am envious!

I agree. Envy is a good thing. So long as it doesn't turn to jealousy as many posts on here and elsewhere..

Will probably get pelters for this but that car just looks daft to me!

Too wide,too big,wings n stuff everwhere, on a track fair enough but I just dont get the point of it as a road going car at all and I think Id be a bit embarassed driving it to work,just a bit too shouty shouty look at me!
It wasn't designed as a road car that's why. It was a 'cheat' to win a race series.
Aah fair do's, a homologation special.

It's a relaxed drive apparently. (Clarkson)

Always loved these.

Would take one over an Enzo any day.
The irony being that under that pretty frock it *is* an Enzo. smile

The UK would be far poorer without Chris Evans. He's a good guy. Love his openness about his life.

But please Chris, stop talking over the great records you play in the morning....
