FryPan earlier...
I've been doing DIY and bought ne furniture. So I'm golden. I could easily walk another bike in with no consequence!
Typically, I dont effin want one! D'oh!
I have been secretly thinking about selling the Rangey and getting a Ferrari California though...
You're all kinds of absolutely fucking bonkers...
Once upon a time i thought it was me who was a bloody nutter.... Then i thought it was Couch.... but it's deffo now you.

At least once a week I look at F355's, they're now up at around £100k for a decent one.
I thought they were expensive at £60k for a good one and in a few years I'll probably moan at £150k for a good one...and I'll still probably never buy one.
Remember not so many years ago a friend sold his F355 Spider for £35k, another recently sold his 348 for just under £100k! Prices are shifting.....

355 or nothing.
Yellow though, I'm not a total noob!
Well actually, first choice would be this colour, but according to the ad only one (1!) was specced in RHD with this colour. Good luck finding a touch up pen in Halfords.

None of them do anything for me, most Ferraris dont, but for some reason I love the California! Got no use for one though, so i dont suppose i'll ever buy one in reality, but if I did it'd ideally be the same as this one!

What about an Audi R8, cheaper to run, just as fast, the early models are comparatively cheap these days? The only real down side is it's an Audi.

It's a challenge to find a good looking Audi, this is the best I can do

The modern California is really nice. Quite a lot bigger than you think they might be, though. You could always get a Maserati GranCabrio and save half the cash!
As for me, there's only one Ferrari I'd actually want, if I could afford one...

It looks more like a 240Z, but who doesn't like a car called the "Fair Lady"

I would. Are you going to counter with something other than the munting thing you've just put up!

My missus test drove a California. She has no interest in cars and how they drive, but she said its wasn't actually that nice to drive and unremarkable.

If it's all about how good looking a car is, he should buy an AC Aceca...

EDIT:
Oh, I thought they were cheaper this...

Just like a D type Jag
I think you mean E type (the D was a racer without a roof), it is a bit, but much smaller and way cooler!

You actually like the Aceca, it looks like an Aston Martin that's shrunk in the wash.

No. The E type was cooler. I was wrong about D type.
