Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

One of the very wealthy members of the FOC here in the UK has a great  
collection of vintage Ferraris and a few new ones. (He owns the BB-LM "Doves 
and 
 Clouds" car among others... He and his wife are very down to earth, (and  
are both great track racers in the club) and the club here has no "airs and  
graces" at all. A few years back when we did the World Record of most 
Ferraris  on a track (at Silverstone) we had a big Ferrari weekend with racing 
and at  Silverstone. Leaving the track on Saturday night I headed (in a 
friends  Mondial) North upto the M1. Those of you who have been to Silverstone 
know the  duel carriage way that runs from the track past a few roundabouts all 
with  petrol stations and one with a McDonalds. Well, we pulled in for fuel 
as did a  few other Ferrari's. While "gassing up" I watched the wife drive 
her Enzo with  her little daughter in the passenger seat into the McDonalds 
drive through and  place an order. The crowd of people at Mac D's were 
amazed to see an Enzo and  even more amazed to see this attractive blonde 
driving 
it! of course they  weren't to know the Enzo is a daily driver and she and 
her husband have a lot  more exotic machinery than that to use when they 
want.
 
As Clyde says, drive it to go shopping!

Agree  100%

There's a picture floating around of my Mondial overloaded after a  Costco
run. If I could afford an 800K car, I could also afford to drive it  through
Mickey D's with the kid/s.

Wasn't it Phil Hill, having been  asked about how hard he was pushing a
historic racer worth 'lots', simply  said that if it's worth that much, then
it's worth fixing if it gets  damaged.

And if you owned  an $800,000 car you can honestly say you'd drive it  
"places?". Like  the grocery?  Home Depot?
