Where is Howard when we need him..? Howard`s Ferrari ownership experience, seemed to promote a more reliable picture..?
I thought the same but then I also believe that Howard suffers with the same affliction with regards to Ferraris, that he is quick to call Morgan owners out on... namely rose-tinted glasses!
Perhaps he'd just been lucky or his 360, being newer, was less problematic; however, the two stories I mentioned, and a few others, relate to older 'classic' 70s and 80s Ferrari ownership.
"Just a Ford Escort", seems to be on the verge of being a tad snooty....? Though feel exactly the same way about Ford Capri`s that my friend gets all hot and sweaty over, he having restored a few as his hobby, his current project is a Brooklands Capri restoration..... Whereas my preferred vehicle from that era was ever the 911... As ever each to their own.. (-:
BTW John, think those Escort stealing wide boys may all be in their mid sixties and beyond...Now wide grandpa`s perhaps ? (-:
"wide grandpa's" is my word of the day! Brilliant
I was lucky enough to do a rally school with Phil Price in Wales, whilst he still used Mk1 Escorts for his students. It was a petrolheads dream day - thoroughly enjoyable and an insight into just how talented (crazy!) rally drivers are (and their navigators!). When I next visited, all the Escorts were gone and he'd moved fully to Subaru Imprezas. The Fords were worth too much and he couldn't justify having them in the hands of muppets like myself!
