The bill would be a lot more than that ;-)

I had two panels kicked in on a Phantom whilst out for a city centre meal a couple of years ago, £18k bill (although that did include some bumper work where I caught it, oops)

I find Ferrari particularly polarizing especially in a convertible with the roof down. I know I look like a wk3r but you don’t need to tell me sigh.

Porsche on the other hand you get a much much better reaction to, especially the air cooled cars. People are a lot more friendly, want to come over and chat, make nice comments, whereas in a ferrari only kids tend to openly appreciate them and people are a lot more standoffish. As inferred by _Leg its the same person driving but people treat you differently and not in a good way generally.

I’ve got lots of “how can you afford that” stories over the years as I tend to be a scruffy get when not working and have owned some nice cars but most of them involve the police asking me to recite the reg to quickly check if it was my car especially when I was younger !

I have always parked my Daily drivers on the street in London ....... 964 RS then a 996 GT3 and now a Ferrari 612 ( in subdued Silver ) and soon a new GT3RS ........ since 1995 and only the GT3 has been vandalised , it was parked outside a pub sadly so just a bit of post drinking fun I guess ...
