I hate to think of the hours I have spent in Joe Macari's beautiful showroom looking at the wonderful Ferraris he has for sale. I openly admit to being a paid up member of the Ferrari Fan Club and I can't imagine anyone not liking any Ferrari they are the soul and life blood of F1 and have, via various coach builders, over the years built some of the most beautiful and exciting cars ever seen.
They are no more unreliable than any other high performance car and bring out the love and passion for driving which should be in the make up of any true petrol head. My 3 Morgans weren't exactly paragons of reliability and quality despite being made up from quite mundane parts. I can't belive than all TMer's wouldn't love a 250 SWB or a Tdf and as for the 612, what a steal at current prices. They look especially good in dark blue Rich !!!
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Careful Reg. When we did the tour of Europe they moved a TdF from the front door hot parking spot of the Hotel de Paris in Monaco to put the Coupe on the door  
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Can there be a petrol head out there who would not like to own a Ferrari at some time in their life...and at circa £34k..? I have copied a few links below from a You Tuber who`s style I rather like in that he does not seem prone to much of the hype around the classic car market, but none the less seems very keen on classics of all sorts. Knowing there are those like me who may also be a bit of a CARsonova I thought you might find interest in the content. My issue with modern sports cars seems to match his thinking in some way in that I discovered I was far more comfortable having my senses tingled on the Queens Highway at less than supersonic speeds, and more so as I age... though I will avoid the temptation to ramble on any further as is my habit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGq5tAK_X48https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkdYdchj8eIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H8f3tvKt2UFinally got around to having a look at these vids. Very enjoyable. I like the guy too, comes across as very genuine.

As a Long term member of the Porsche club, my deviation into Morgan ownership may well have ruffled some feathers but they put up with me and IT on the rare occasions I tagged along. I remember well on a run down around Dumfriesshire on meeting up with the local Porsche members in that area for a lunch in a hotel, later I was sent a pic of the guys all standing around my Morgan gesturing as if they were all urinating on it... all with smiles on their faces of course...  I went on a Ferrari Owners Club long weekend away a couple of years ago, and I had no option but to d so in my wife's car. So we had a long line of various red ferraris ( all red- a bit unmaginative?) in line astern being followed by me in a blue Smart Roadster, all 600cc of it. Bit like a terrier running along afer a pack of greyhounds..But we were all mid engined! There was some pi55 taking
