F50 - still trying to get a passenger ride, tried to hire a ride for my last birthday but best I could find was £4k

I thought this would be easy;
MC20 if it gets released otherwise MC12

I would love a 288 GTO, F430 Scud 16M or F458 Speciale but all ferraris, need something different so Aston DBS / R8 for daily use

if were talking outside daily use then Zonda R.... final answer

I sat in one at Simon Furlongers a few years ago. What surprised me more than anything is how low it was, especially when I had just got out of an F40 I also sat in.

Lovely place to be though.They say the F50 is the better car, but the F40 is the poster girl.

If I won the Euro millions I'd have both!

Never saw myself as boring..Must take another look at myself in the mirror.........

The Germans have made some of the best usable performance cars for me. Ones that would leave most Italians rusting in their path. Anyone that just wouldn't entertain a German car because it's not Italain are missing out on some great cars and driving experiences....I certainly never though my E30 M3 looked dull as ditchwater but hey we also see something different in a car I suppose......
You obviously haven't owned the best two car ever made Andy! Yet..

The original Fiat 500 and the Renault 4, if you study social history each car was perfectly placed Its not always about how fast they go!

100% Agree Dave...Some if my best car experiences have been in cars that aren't the quickest in their class.......Fiat 500 is a classic no doubt but the Renalt not for me. I probably will not own then either as far too old for me. Cars this old just don't float my boat I'm afraid. I had a Fiat Panda 100HP as a loan car when my Integrale was in for a service and it was bloody brilliant. It was the type of car that wanted you to rag it on every journey. This is the type of car Fiat do so well.

Thinking about it again, I'd quite like to have THE TVR Griffith that I see knocking around Guildford and Dorking.

If/when it goes into production , it could be a serious GT Sport replacement.

Not sure it ever will Martin which is a shame.....Ever time they turn a corner something else gets in the way.

I get your drift, maybe its sort of a generation thing
For example I like wind up windows for the simple fact why hug around 4 kilos per door plus all the wiring and sh*te...and then they fail and cost hundreds to fix!

Agree Dave, as time went on cars got more complicated and more expensive to fix.
