All great cars.   I have noticed a unexpected side effect of have had the 
308 for 8 months.....
Since then EVERY other car I look at and think I might like gets rulled out 
with the words.....
"why would I want THAT, I have my ultimate FERRARI!"

My dream as a teen was to have a Rolls Royce and a Ferrari and at the age of 
38 I managed the combo.   I have my veteran cars to "play with" and a small 
fleet of Italian bikes... where I have also got my personal ultimate a 1974 
Disc brake MV Agusta 750 Sport.

I used to be a real addicted collector.... always with to many cars and 
bikes, always stretching to buying the next one, never having time or money 
left to work on the ones I had... (came in handy when the Ferrari came up... 
I sold 3 cars and two bikes from the collection to raise the money)

So since the Ferrari I have had a seachange in thinking.
I now look at vehicles I might want.... then think of the vehicle already IN 
my collection that best fills that need and do some work or buy some parts 
for that machine.  I have fewer, better machines and I am happier.

Sorry for the random venting... :)
