Hi All,
I'm currently 17 years old and know nobody other than my dad who likes cars. All of my friends are either into football or drugs which I have no interest in. One thing I do have interest in is cars (hence posting on PH), more specifically, supercars. In order to stop this from sounding like an advertisement, i will stop here and leave you with some questions to reply to below.
What is your favorite car?
What is your age?
What do you drive now?
Where about's are you located?
My answers:
What is your favorite car? My favorite car would currently have to be the 991 GT3 RS.
What is your age? As mentioned above, I'm 17.
What do you drive now? I drive a Ford Ka MK2. Polish built, rather boring...
Where about's are you located? I'm located in East Sussex.

Work hard Ted and make the most of any opportunity, have courage and commitment in your endeavors and no doubt one day you will afford the cars you aspire to own.

Awesome two car garage! What colour did you go with on the Huracan? Also, why the 580-2? Personally I prefer the looks of the 580.Work hard Ted and make the most of any opportunity, have courage and commitment in your endeavors and no doubt one day you will afford the cars you aspire to own.
Thank you, I really appreciate the advice. It makes anything seem very possible.
What is your favorite car?
Mine, obviously.
Although I rather like my dad's Range Rover, would be quite happy with a Supercharged version! He has a DB11 too which is probably a bit too flashy for me, but an amazing bit of kit either way.
What is your age?
18.
What do you drive now?
Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost.

Surrey.

What is your favorite car? Huracan performate
What is your age? 17
What do you drive now? 1.0L Vauxhall Astra, also polish built
Where about's are you located? Bucks.
It's a shame that none of your friends are into cars, loads of boys from my school are enthusiastic about them, mostly due to all the car youtubers/vloggers like Shmee etc. But good to see that you have similar ambitions to myself its almost refreshing amongst an age group which (for the most part) lack some ambition IMO

Seriously though, its awesome to finally find someone who is into supercars at my age. Unfortunately we live 2 and a half hours away, google informs me.
I'd love to chat more mate. And I could possibly try to persuade you towards the 458 speciale rather than the performance.

See my thread on the Huracan spec.
Why did I choose the 580? Hmmm difficult one, I guess after spending a lot of time watching and reading reviews the 580 was deemed the best all round Huracan model and a bit rawer than the 610. I am used to driving my dad's TVR and numerous powerful BMW's and although totally different, RWD to me just seems more fun and rewarding. Not to mention the 580 is a considerable chunk cheaper than the 610.
No problem with the advice, it pays to always be inquisitive and ask questions.

That makes sense. Although rear wheel drive can be more fun, its also easier to end up in a bushSee my thread on the Huracan spec.

. The price difference is around £20k right? Are you one to spec a lot of carbon?
Well advice like this can be hare to come by so it's greatly appreciated.

What is your favorite car? This is an IMPOSSIBLE question I swear, as my thoughts on this change so often. However I'd probably say a McLaren F1 with a few upgrades (better brakes probably ceramics as I heard MSO will retrofit them),
or a 250 SWB.

Hi, excellent thread!!
What is your favorite car? Lamborghini Countach or Aston Martin V8 Zagato or Ferrari Testarossa
What is your age? 45
What do you drive now? Nothing exciting right now - Mini convertible with wide wheels and stripes on the bonnet and I love it.
Where about's are you located? Oxford
My advice is that all you need to do in life is to work out what you want and then get it. Working out what you want sounds easy and getting it sounds hard, but the truth is that working out what you really want is hard, and once you know, getting it is easy by comparison.
I knew I wanted a Ferrari when I was 21. It was my first thought when I woke up and my last thought when I went to bed. I got my first job at 21 working for a company, and at 25 I bought a red carb Ferrari 308 GTS. From a 21 year old know nothing to a Ferrari. Once you have a single minded purpose, your brain and your being just finds a way to steer you towards it - but you have to be very seriously focused and make it happen - it won't land in your lap.
Believe it is possible and go for it !

Keep aiming for the RS. It takes years to be an overnight success and you'll find you get luckier the harder, and longer, you work and the more risks you take.

Two questions, I think its awesome that you own both a 458 spider and speciale. But after driving the speciale, do you not feel as if you are downgrading when you drive the spider?
Also, Sir, I believe you have an addition to hoarding cars... But it certainly leads to an admirable collection. If you could only drive one car in your collection for the rest of your life, what would it be?

On the road, even throughout Europe as I go on 3-4 road trips per year, you can't push hard enough (and I push pretty hard) to really feel the difference. In any case, the roof comes off the Spider and in the mountains it really makes a difference to the experience. Two questions, I think its awesome that you own both a 458 spider and speciale.

Don't believe the cack you might see spouted about road cars being better because they have more bhp or whatever, on the road you can reach the limit of what anyone should be driving like in a 200bhp hot hatch. I've just been round Europe (got back Sunday) with the Lotus guys in my Exige 350 Sport. I don't think I go any faster when I go in the Ferraris tbh. Learning how to peddle quickly and safely is far more important than bhp etc.
Couldn't pick one. They're all different. The Spider is a car that does everything well though. I've done 3500 miles across Europe in 12 days in it, rain, snow, sun, 192mph on the Autobahn followed by braying it over mountain passes and cruising the French Riviera and it's been comfortable, fast, the turn in is epic, sounds amazing, looks great. The F12 is just special, the Escort too. The Abarth makes me smile regardless of my mood. I love the Boxster because it does so much, so well, but cost nothing in comparison to the GT3RS and Ferraris. The Exige impresses because it's wick on track (mine isn't standard so it's exceptionally so) and yet can do a 2200 mile tour round Europe and be comfy and fun. Etc etc.
I like em all.
