To be fair it was very much preventative - there was some drop in the oil level of what should in theory be a sealed unit and that is indicative of a PTU that will fail at some point. No idea how long it would actually go before it actually failed. Probably another 15k I would imagine. Interestingly...

You want a 612 - the best looking Ferrari ever made. And it’s simple RWD. I can only assume this is a joke... :?: I don't think I could ever buy a 612, 550 or 456 as the engines are just not in the same league as the F140 series - I would have to have something with an "Enzo" engine in it...

…I don't want to have to do it again in another 15,000 miles when it isn't under powerplus warranty :roll: I’m sure it’s not what you meant, but that kinda makes it sound like the gearboxes only last 15k miles :lol: Unless that is what you meant :shock: That's how long the first one has lasted!! ET...

What's the best Ferrari forum to get a view for actual real world feedback and buying guides? @Sundayjumper @IanF #stealthpost Worst now I am not spunking all my money on building a house I can now afford a Ferrari post ever :lol: Of course it needs to be a 355 (Berlinetta or Spider doesn't matter)...

Pretty much a foregone conclusion he will go to the Scuderia unless he quits entirely (which is a possibility!) If so, would be interesting to see if beginning of 2025 is long enough to mould the 2026 car - you would expect so as my understanding is that the aero regs have not yet been finalised (an...

I thought it was an intentional edgy social comment - just the words "User Avatar" instead of a picture

I was wondering what music he likes.

I heard he loves a little underground house.

Strange - I heard he was more into Yodelling.

I'd like that a lot... if it had a V8 in it.

It does rather look like your Dad now needs a chauffeur however.

They don't call him the West Midlands Fritzl for nothing.

To a degree - the other main source of tax receipts is VAT and those paying the most income tax will also be paying the lions share of VAT as well (plus CGT.. unless your name is Angela), though I take your point that low earners are not exempted from that. In many ways it would be more equitable to...

I say give everyone what they want and let the 5% provide all 😎 This is pretty much the system we have. Most of the population don't pay their fair share of tax at this point. 53.8% are net receipients of hand outs from the state and over 40% pay no income tax at all. Maybe we need to invert the ol...

Seems like we've been lucky with Easter Holiday school timings this year and my son's school has later dates than most others. As a result everything seems to be priced lower in Portugal at the moment and I upgraded the hire car to "C class or equivalent". Rather surprisingly we actually g...

Can confirm the 640 was awesome.



The MP4 2B was also excellent!

Will upload a few more pics at some point once I’ve regained my hearing after the can am demo!

The mileage discrepancy seems to just be one MOT with no mileage recorded. All the others are consistent. I have a mileage discrepancy on the 330, thanks to an MOT tester typing 133,000 instead of 113,000 one year :roll: I wonder if there is a way of rectifying such a discrepancy. Issue is likely e...

You need someone to help with your diary!

Turbo cars are notorious for needing new turbos aren't they. Trying to remember whether that was 993 or 996 but probably both - issuing being that they're low to the ground and get immersed in water and other shit which weld the wastegates shut IIRC.

No takers?

@IanF I know you're a member of the GRRC - not going this year? If you need a lift let me know!

I will be going along on Saturday with my son. Anyone else of this parish attending?

Looking forward to the CanAm demonstration and seeing the T50 for the first time. Mainly though i'm excited to see this do a demo lap:

Actually - I smell an opportunity here... Ian my friend... I have a very exclusive members club - GGAutos. Its a mere £10,000 p.a. buy in and you get annual usage of my 911 and Range Rover and whole 100 miles per year! 50% the cost and double the mileage of those other chancers. If you're on board I...
