Really beautiful, definitely from one of the 'hey-day' periods for Ferrari, when cars were machines foremost and had the right amount of technological innovation. Hope you'll be able to take the best care of it and enjoy it.

The weather hasn’t been the greatest lately but it turns out these things aren’t water soluble so we go out when we can. Hopefully there might be an Indian summer.

With the recent upturn in the weather, I’ve been out as much as possible, and consuming E5 Super-unleaded at a prodigious rate.

Made a last minute decision to tag along with my pal and his Cayman GT4 (which had just underwent a 3 day detailing) to a big car show at the weekend. I spent the evening before giving it a quick wash and vac. It wasn’t looking very shiny at all so I as an afterthought I gave it a quick once over with @Big Pimp ’s Hybrid quick detailer. Guess which one of us managed to come home with a trophy 😆

Titanium X, no less :cool: with straight through pipes, i.e. the back box and centre section fell off and are now in the blue and black wheelie bins, respectively.

The gritters have been out spraying brine for the last couple of weeks where I live so the last drive was the last one of the year I expect. Roll on 2022 and some proper mileage.

It’s been a long winter and although temps are barely scraping into double digits it seems there’ll be no more snow and the road salt has finally disappeared. Weather delayed plans to get some extra custom XPEL Ppf applied and machine polish and ceramic coating to the engine cover and rear are now on for two week’s time.

Meanwhile, have just been doing the odd school run, pointless drives, multiple fill-ups, and one car meet. Twice in the last week I’ve had people (actual car enthusiasts) ask me was it an MR2 kit :rolleyes:

Had the privilege of a passenger run in this last year and it is even more beautiful in the flesh.

Love that you do the school run in this 😂. One of my favourite looking ferraris and the sound of them is something else!
