Either he's secretly funded by a International drug smuggling organisation and eastern Europeon prostitution ring.

Or He's a Hitman although a bright red Ferrari is probably not a good choice.

Or drug dealer but they don't make that much unless he deal's with £53k 1kg pure.

Or maybe cars are cat D unrecorded purchased for a small sum then fixed and sold on for a larger profit.

Or maybe he is just a hard working genuine lad who has a natural eye for a bargain and spends his money on cars.

If he's any of the first 3 then you sir are a legend, Either way he clearly owns the car, anyone that owns a Ferrari is doing well for themselves.

Although Its not exactly a Enzo, Its a second hand mass produced Ferrari 360 available to anyone from about £30k for the hardtop.

I cant see what the problem 30k would get you a good Spec new A3 or a second hand 10 year old Ferrari Or as some people would have you believe in other threads a week away with the family.

don't know why your quoting 30k for a 360? thats like bottom of the barrel, 70'000 mile, lhd, ropey service history in burgundy with 12 owners. i hate it when people value a car model based on the crapest example available.

anyway OP, beautiful car in the best spec! any plans to modify (maybe scuderia wheels and tricolore stripes?). also, from a practicality point of view, how thirsty is it compared to the gtr?

This forum also has a large number of people who seem to jump to the rescue of anyone given a bit of criticism. It is only natural for some people to enquire into the ways in which someone of his age can acquire something which a lot of people may dream of owning.

Everyone takes their own path, and there probably is a little jealousy in seeing someone own something so beautiful. It doesn't mean that those people are 'jumped up tossers'. That's your opinion however, and everybody is entitled to one.

I'm sure the OP is big enough to stand up to any questioning over a topic like this, as he has already demonstrated. I don't think he needs so many minders. And good on you Tranter5, for doing something that other's may dream of doing but never got a chance to. Judging by the article, your parents sound like they love having you at home and they're proud of you. Huge shame about the GTR though, as I happen to prefer it to the 360 personally, although your current steed is still a thing of beauty.

Out of interest, do you tend to have one car at a time, or a few to sell on? Just curious, like!

Stradale 19 inch wheels and the tricolour stripes would be something I would literally LOVE to do, but unless some wheels come up cheap I wouldnt do it as there would need to be a financial benefit to me something which is unusual with modifying.

With regards to thirst I am not sure next tank I will record the mileage and work it out but with the Tubi exhaust sounds like its chucking some serious fuel out the back with some of the pops and burbles on the over run!

First of all thank you for using your monthly post on me. Second if you take a quick look in the classifieds/Autotrader you will find plenty of examples with good miles from around £30k.
Its not exactly a prestigious car like a Enzo/599/f50/f40.Although it is a nice car.

Another very important question:

1. What kind of female attention does the Ferrari give you compared to the GTR?

A less important question wink but out of all the cars you've had which one have you enjoyed the most? Also, which one has the best fun per £ ratio?

Really like TVR Tamoras too.

So for insurance purposes I presume you have a motor traders policy as the vehicles are being bought and sold as stock (considering you pay tax too)?

No I don't have a motortraders policy as they all say I am too young and want around £7000, they said if I had premises it would be considerably cheaper. As they are personal cars registered in my name they need to be covered by a normal policy. I will always use admiral as I have said before NO ONE can touch them on price for my age and the cars I own and I have now experienced what they are like when paying out after the hail claim and eventually they were very fair!

You don't need to presume, you need to read this & the GTR thread that makes that clear.

Nice car OP, I am also looking forward to finding out what's next on the list smile
