20 Years ago today

[F355GTS]

20 Yeas ago today I collected my first Ferrari, I've owned 16 in total (inc 1 I owned twice) and loved every minute. I've covered approx 147k miles (7,300 per annum ave) around 60% in V8's and 40% in V12's and a fuel bill of something like £64k

Great collection. Chopping and changing once a year on average!

For sometime I've had 2, even 3 for a short while so not quite as often as it seems, I'll work out the average 👍

Congrats Mark !!!
You haven't just owned them but you also driven and enjoyed them fully. 16 Fezzas is also a feat in itself
I'm coming to my 20yrs in Sept. Only got 3 over that time but I get very attached and still have them all.
Here's to the next 20yrs

👍👍

Bravo chap, that's some dedication!

If you had pick one, which would be your favourite and why?

458 Spider, it truly is utterly brilliant and takes all the good bits of the others but none of the bad bits

Hi Jonathan, I never owned a GT4 and yes 2 pics of the California as I owned it over two separate periods

h no, my records are wrong! Wonder where that GT4 came from then? So I misunderstood your original post as the 16 meant 15 different cars, whereas I read it as 16 different cars.

Mark you are also responsible ( to blame?) for me abandoning Porsche GT3's and moving over to Ferrari, so that's 6 years and 3 Ferraris so far, a token effort in comparison to your own

Must meet up again soon Ian

Out of interest, how come a few different Cali's?

Obviously you're a fan, but could you perhaps describe what you like about them?

Love the concept of the folding hardtop and they're definitely the perfect car for European touring. For a long time I said it was the best Ferrari I'd ever owned, that mantle has been superseded by the 458 but the California is still an awesome car.

The last one was a 30HS end of line, it was a dealer stock car and they did a deal I couldn't refuse
