Always lived in the sticks.

It was a different world Rich. In the early 60s I was at university in Oxford. I had a Triumph Spitfire ( max 90mph, 0to60 maybe 15 secs/) but driving it on empty A roads ( there were no motorways) I could do the journey from home in Bradford to Oxford averaging just on 60mph. Admittedly I was young and daft but the roads were empty, no scameras, plod was in a Morris Minor or similar so you could go for it in relative safety. I only spun it once.

I havent a hope in hell of achieving the same average on the journey in my Ferrari nowadays. I wouldnt even try.
Howard that is quite some average, I once got a 45mph from Ullapool to South Devon but that was tramping on a bit in the late 80's.

Enjoy your Ferrari wherever and whenever you can each one is a very special car you know, it grieves me when these footballers wreck one, just disrespectful in my book.

Reading Ewan and his Son's travels through Europe in his new one was a joy to read and I'm sure Enzo was looking down on them saying yup that's what they are for thumbs
