30 cars go on a drive but not 1 Ferrari

[Wilmslowboy]

Every year a group of us go to the IOM - for a play on the unrestricted roads, and general fun.


Always a good mix of cars, this year there was aprox 30 cars.

Couple Nissan GTRs, a couple of Merc GTRs (very nice), the normal splattering of Porsche GT cars, 3 Lambos (2 * Perfs - very very nice) a Lotus, Normand, F-Type and a gaggle of Mclarens - But not one Ferrari - where have they all gone ??

In years gone by, there would be F12s, 488 (including Spazs), 599s etc etc - but this year the only Ferrari I saw was owned by a Island local.

Rubbish walk through the car park can be seen here

The footballers have bought them all.

They are either in someones investment portfolio or on a dealers forecourt/compound not selling as they are overpriced.
God forbid an owner drivers one and halfs its value

[Wilmslowboy]

Locked up and rising in value - hmm

Giving me driven as intended and depreciation any day !

So how many miles have you put on your 650?

[Pericoloso]

I saw a LOT being driven ,in a spirited fashion ,in Italy last week ,a tour connected to the Mille Miglia.

Cars with plates from all over Europe ,maybe further away too.

I think MDL was asking RamboLambo.

I put 3000 miles on my worthless FIAT in 2 weeks.

That is good going

I put about 42k km on the FF in 2.5 years and about 7-8k km I think on the Scud since October - was off the road November to March as Ferrari wouldn’t install winter tyres on it (probably better with all the salt anyway). Scud was on the Großglockner last weekend (can highly recommend it - pic to follow) and will hopefully be at Hockenheim end of June for a Ferrari track day if FFS allows it

Nice snow pic sir.
Don't know how to do a link to thread on phone but I've completed my road trip thread already.
Have a look at threads I started trough my profile.
It's not a long read.

Another one - this time on Rossfeldstrasse (close to Berchtesgaden)

Lovely Scud, would be one of my first buys if funds allowed.

Now, now. You know full well we ain't all like that.

I take my Ferraris into Europe, as well as other cars, at least 2-3 times a year.

Currently sat in Amalfi, F12 parked up in the hotel garage, about to start week 4 of a 5.5 week tour that started with a bunch of mates round Austria for 2 weeks in my 458 Spider, a quick blat back to Blighty for a 2 night turnaround for laundry and change to the f12 (and collect Mrs Leg).

Must admit, I've not seen another GB plate south of The Italian Lakes.

I guess you must do loads of miles in your cars though eh.
