Slightly more affordable, I'd have either a Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Sports circa 1964 or an E-Type Jag.
did he know you had his car

Yeah......Ferrari's are italian junk.........look good but thats about it

There seems to be a lot of stigma attatched to ferrari's though......Everyone with money wants one but they are so unreliable.......you just never know if they are gonna start.

Havin said all that..........if money was no problem then I would probably have 1 just to own a ferrari

Gimme a porsche 911 turbo anyday

He even dropped it off for us - just round the corner from where we lived and left the keys under the wheel arch And this was after he let every bloke in the office borrow it and one of them lost control around a corner in the business park and caused £2K of damage

He hasn't been so keen to offer his Ferrari out!
