Thoughts on consolidating maybe 3 cars into 1?

I was thinking you might be considering welding all three cars into one. TVR not easy to weld though.

I think the risk is that you do not stick to 1 car only. Having 1 (or more) free space in the garage is going to be a temptation you won’t resist once the “newness” of the consolidation product (strad for eg) wears off.
The question is can you afford to lock down a £75k car and another toy down the road...

If you are a better man than I am and manage to stick to 1 car - I would strongly suggest you consider a 550 maranello over the stradale and will be in the same price range. It is just immense !

I think if you are ever going to have a Ferrari a V12 front engine car is a must to tick of the list and I'm glad my first was that the 456 when they were affordable.
If I had not wanted to keep all my other cars at the time it would have been the 550 as I fell in love with Enzos on here and following the repairs putting it on the road.

No can't afford another so no risk of another appearing ;)

What a dilemma to have.
The Strad is Stunning.
So is the 550 and I can vouch for Forza 288 as I bought my 360 Modena from him a really nice guy who bought mine back when I went to NZ prepares the cars amazingly like RG does.
Any pics of your 360 Phil?

If you like stuff knocked together by a Gary Neuman fan in a shed, only sell 2


£70K for an ‘06 Gallardo.

Nein Danke.

Hey Phil, aren't you just glad you have an old Renault 4 just now! ;)

Been saying for a long time the most sensible car I have had in years and the one I will never lose any money on.
Glad I have experienced the Maseratis and the Ferraris though.

Hey Loz, was it you who once told me you fancied an MG SV-R? So a scabby old Spyker would be next best? :)
I love the styling on the Spykers, it's just sooo ott.

guilty as charged , only because i had a chance to buy one of the first prototypes ;)
