There is a dark coloured one down at Topaz at the moment (only spotted it briefly in the dark), made me think of this thread.

Nah, it's a custom pink for the Sultan of Johor to match a few of his other cars IIRC.

2manycars, I just discovered this thread and read the whole thing. Thanks for posting it.

You're an inspiration.

I'm looking forward to reading future instalments!

I think he has either busy or got bored of updating this.

To be honest, though I love the fantastic insights, I would be wary of giving detail out these days.

Here’s another question for you Pete, not like you get enough, but what does the man that collects super cars/hyper cars/priceless limited editions etc etc. get for Xmas? Genuine interested here, I can only imagine it’ll be sentimental items.

Hopefully nothing sinister and just taking time out to find his dream home(s) in the sun.

It's Xmas, he is busy with his new wife and life.

This thread is here for a purpose, to create awareness of his charities and so on, to a point it's work. Sorry, I know you all think of him as your best mate!

Hi everyone

Sorry I’ve been quiet on here lately, been travelling the world.
Still currently away but back in Blighty in a few weeks time.

Ready to answer any questions as I’m having a few drinks and reading the latest EVO.
Got my Senna and a few other ‘bits’ to collect when I get home. But had a fair few months to think about what kind of garage I want when I get back home.
I’m not selling anything but I am changing my buying habits.
Going to start going through Ferrari’s back catalogue and buying the older stuff first. I can’t find a 125 or a 125S but I have tracked down a 166 vignale. Then it’s onto a 212 inter and so forth.
Don’t know why but I do have a massive hard on for the Ferrari brand.
Someone asked what you get someone like me for Xmas, my wife nailed this. She got me that Ferrari ‘Taschen’ book that comes on the 458 engine block. Amazing book.
One of my mates got me a table made from one of my DB5 wheels (I’m currently changing my DB5 to FIA spec so I can rally it so I had a spare few alloys) which is super nice.

Pete
What did you think of EVO’s comments on the Pista in their COTY review?

[sausage76]

So have you been car shopping whilst on your travels at all?

So no selling but lots of buying again, excellent news.

[Norbury90]

That table is fking awesome! Would be interested in any more details about the DB5 transformation too, sounds very interesting

Pete,

Is it the driving or the owning/collecting that gives you the kick?

Or both?!

It’s an amazing car and it drives sooooo well but it makes a weird sound and doesn’t thrill like my Speciale, and doesn’t come close to the sound of my my Speciale Aperta. However I am getting a Pista Spider as well which is a rare thing indeed so I’ll be doing a review on all 4 of them together when I get mine.

[raining_sulphur]

Wifey nailed it, she obviously knows you well! That table is awesome!

Definitely both, however it’s at different times. Take for instance my Porsche GT, great car but I rarely drive it as it’s scary as foooooook. Same as my LFA. However I can happily sit there with a coffee and just look at them for hours on end.
