Stalked a Ferrari through Sheffield yesterday

[The_Blue_Dragon]

Hi people,
Just wanted to say that yesterday I saw an amazing sight, A Ferrari Testarossa. I kind of talked him trying to give him a card with my website on showing my bucket list, but he was busy. I've never ever seen one before and thought it looked beautiful.

So if this is you I'm really sorry for stalking you through Sheffield haha. Picture taken using my dashcam

He must have been lost, very lost.

I was shocked hahaha and surprised as he seemed to be going rather slow. People were actually over taking him lol. Such a shame I couldn't have a word with him as a Ferrari is on my bucket list and would have loved a spin

Erm, yeah. Just because it's a Ferrari, it doesn't mean it has to go racing through Sheffield flat-out. I can't think of a worse way to kill a Ferrari than to wrap it around a Vauxhall Corsa on some grim estate in Sheffield.

Perhaps, just perhaps, a bit of careful diving is what has seen this car survive three decades.

I wasn't on about speeding but if I had one I'd at least go at the speed limit hahaha. But was a beautiful sight to see driving through Sheffield. Must have been nice driving it down our nice new roads hahaha they are super smooth

Since when did Sheffield get new roads? When I lived there they had more holes in them than a spotty teenagers face.

Oh, ive also been in a white testarossa and a red 308 gtbi

The Tour de France is coming to town. ;-)

Actually the council did a deal and the roads are finally getting fixed and swanky new LED street-lights put up. Some parts of town I hardly recognise. Still lots of roads that would shake your fillings lose in anything sporty though.

I strongly doubt it, it looks quite dry to me

You don't want the one listed at 40k.

I had a play with one years ago, they do shift that's for sure, car was later seen with an AA van for company though.....

Now now Jimmm, let them have their stereotypical views and beliefs, no need to be sensible at all my friend!

Yes I believe the council got a multi million pound grand to replace all roads and lighting with LEDs. I love the new smooth roads but I find the LED lighting rubbish. There are dark areas between the lights which aren't safe when out in the wheelchair.

I love the sound of new roads too hahaha. They started with small roads but now started doing major roads too. No idea what they doing to Penistone Road round about though near the Wednesday Ground

Good spot! You don't see a Testarossa in the wild all that often.
