What a prat he looked
I am refering to the driver of a white EVO IV tail gating a Ferrari 360 Spider on the M56 jct. 11 roundabout.
Sure, the EVO may have been faster but to everyone else he looked like an envious knobber.
Rant over.
Steve
PS Ferrari sounded better than HKS Tokyo drone too!

I always give ferrari's room...but i do love to hear them scream. However anyone who has heard one pulling away from them knows you dont need to be close to hear it 
I've only experienced the 430 and 360 CS up close but...my GOD!! Even if you dont like ferraris (or the drivers) it makes you want one

Chap in our building has a 360, fantastic sounding in the underground garage. Saw the 360 and 430 race series at the Canadian GP and they sounded amazing. So quiet (compared to the F1 cars) going into the hairpin, and then a cacophony of aural pleasure as they accelerated up the straight.

Ferraris are a **** car, anyone driving one should be feckin shot 
as well as all the "Ferrari's are great brown-nosers on here" they are old mens cars with usually more money than sense (or hair, but not waistline)...

There was a chap at the Caldecotte arms last night in a Giallo Fly (Bright yellow) Ferrari 348 ts. It looked pants. Rather than parking with the rest of the world in the car park, he parked it on the main run into the pub for all to see.
Thing is, there were far more valuable cars that the 348 there (I mean, what's a 348 worth ? 30K ?)
He gunned it when he drove off too, poor engine thrashing around.. he really should have put a sports exhaust on it, sounded crap.

There is a good thread on the GTR forums by one of it's members who had the luck of owning a ferrari, i got the impression from him that owning a ferrari isn't just about owning the car, it's about the lifestyle that comes with it.
I'd love a 430, I watch the episode of TG where they take the 3 super cars to the millau, what a totally inspirational piece of television. If that doesn't make you knuckle down and work towards owning something of such beauty then imho nothing will!

If you are not a troll you'll not have any issue with supplying us with a well written piece on why Ferrari's are not the car their reputation would have you believe and why aspiring to them would be foly. I look forward to your teachings

Why even in figure of speech should they be shot for owning a ferrari. They are beautiful and awesome machines. They have done well enough to afford one so fair play to them.
Granted there are people who buy them simply to show off and are probably the most stuck up f**ks you are likely to meet but there are some who see them for the amazing drivers cars they are and drive them as such.
For the record if i could afford a new ferrari...id probably save the money and buy a noble but each to their own

They are just Fiats with a posh frock on FFS! Yes they are nice cars but for the amount they cost to buy and run they are poor value for money. Why do you see them for sale with very low mileages? Granted a 360 Spyder in red is an arresting sight but can you really justify £123,000 for a new one?

Fantastic cars but it is easy to look a *** in one, far too conspicous for me.
Thats why they have tiny mileages, I suspect apart from running it people dont ant that much attention all the time, save it for a day when you have had your Prozac !

You can only go from personal experience. I know of 3 people who have a ferrari and all are ****.
However it's clear that the car is fantastic.
As for a porsche, the work car park near me looks like a porsche 911 garage, and most also get driven home by **** as well
