I drove two different cars on trackdays. Exige on Silverstone Ferrari on Rockingham. Both great fun and superb. I have driven a Ferrari “in anger” on a teack so it’s potential ( as faras I dared” could be felt. Rear V8 at high revs. Chuffing awesome! Exige with rear engine howling also superb. Getting out back in the garage meant falling/crawling to great amusement of others. Ferrari civilised. The bigger grin? Ferrari. The driving experience was similar (ish). But the badge added an aura. On a recent trip to Scotland another hotel guest had a Lambo. We chatted. He was a high up in military aircraft design, certification. He loved Lambos. Pootled round as an almost everyday car but occasional blasts. I’ve ticked the box for Ferrari. Happy to tick other boxes. Own one? A few years ago possibly if ££££ was available. I could get an Exige but impractical ( getting out of it). I’d LOVE a Bentley Bluetrain. That would be my choice. Parking...... I tend to look for open areas with whatever car I am in. Amazing how others then park right next to me!
