So, this whole convincing the wife that an extra Ferrari is a good thing…how do the rest of us pull it off?!
My 308 nearly got me divorced and I had to bribe her with a tractor to get the F12 !!

Congrats. Stunning. I didn't convince my wife. The silences just got shorter over time.

I have 2 phases….

Firstly I remind her I don’t gamble, smoke, hardly drink and there have never been other women but you might find a new car on the drive. So that’s pretty good really…

Secondly… it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

I nearly got divorced over a C63 Estate FFS, what a waste that would have been! She threw a track because it wasn't green enough and yet now I have an F430, go figure.

Next car will be a 458. Yes siree.

Ok, I think I’ve got where I’m going wrong…my equivalent pic has just one horsepower in each stall…

Even my V8 leaves me next week frown

I don’t think that’s worked quite as intended…

Sigh. Epic garage my friend, epic garage.

The worrying thing is I think my wife might like that green…

She had been watching the new Magnum and was hoping/expecting a 488 as the curtesy car from 7oaks during the recent service. I believe my comments on the Roma that was delivered instead have been well captured elsewhere…

(New Magnum and car not a patch on old Magnum and car. Just saying)

Did it come from the South Coast? was a guy local with an identical one but noticed he has changed to an SF90 last few weeks.

Hehe, it’s ok, they are my local chaps but I’ve bought from Kent. They are fairly good guys at Carrs.
