Well done that man. We need more winners!

I had a look at Revcomps last night and now I'm thirty-odd quid lighter.

I'm completely convinced that I'll never win anything, but I keep trying anyway

As much as the thought of winning a Ferrari, Lamborghini or whatever supercar is great, in reality you’re only one problem away from a repair bill that would break you.
I would just have to sell it straight away, probably without even driving it.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Most of them give you the option to sell it even before you get it

I only enter the big comps for the cash alternatives as I have absolutely no need for a super car and probably couldn’t even get in and out of one lol! That said, A guy I know had a convertible Porsche as a daily and whilst it cost him a bit more in servicing compared to a normal car, it was faultless in the time he owned it.

Ferrari do a deal for cars, from memory, over 5 years old - servicing isn't actually that much more than an average saloon dealer service.
When a friend had an F355 many years back, it went in for a full service including belts and only came out at a grand.....

[Noggin]

I'd bloody love to drive a Ferrari around this roads in anger!! But I wouldn't want to own one!! Cash alternative and I'd rent one for a few days

It is possible, dependent on how deep your pockets are. My friend sold his F355 and joined what used to be called Ecurie 25 - you buy days (his package was circa £20k per year!) where you can take pretty much any of the latest supercars for a day, weekend etc and drive like you would in a rental Fiat Panda in Spain

A Porsche is slightly different, they've managed to make something that feels like a Toyota Camry to drive until you put your foot down.
I could take my mum shopping in my 911 and she'd say how comfortable it was (apart from being a little bit low down to get into) but then after dropping her off I could drive home at 190mph going sideways through bends.

You really need something like a GT3 with manual box and NA engine, something to make you feel more involved, because otherwise it can feel sterile and a bit boring tbh, even when you're cracking on a bit. I really don't like the PDK transmission either.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Latest 'scheme cars' list dropped at work yesterday....proper goodun on there, £120k convertible with a thumping great engine in the front, £630pcm and no deposit. Servicing is included.

Two of my co-workers were all set to push the go button until I suggested they check the insurance first

I imagine it'd be the same with these Ferraris

I'd have been on it like a tramp on chips if I didn't need back doors and a decent boot

[Taipan]

£200k cash or a VW!

So erm… Guess who’s won (again!) on Apex66…

“Only” some free entries to other comps this time, no real prize. But my 3rd win with them now, and won 25x entries into the next 4 motorbike draws, including an original 98 R1, a brand new Triumph Moto2 edition 765 Street Triple, and a 2017 S1000R… Quite good odds on the Triumph in particular!

They do quite a lot of draws, mostly bikes but the occasional oddities like holidays. Odds don’t seem too unrealistic. I only know them cos one of them is the salesman at BMW.

It's been a while since I've had a tickle on a bike draw, got to be worth a couple of tickets
