Ferrari 430...
Ok, lets imagine you own one of these....
...why on a Saturday night would you spend the whole night standing next to your car across the street from a busy bar in a matching red Ferrari T-Shirt?
I was going to pull up next to him, poke fun and tease him that I heard they are quite slow, but had better things to do... I'm sure he wouldn't have been able to resist with all the young lads and lasses around him
Was a black one too 50 yds up the road and usually an idiot in a Gallardo driving around like a Barry.

go to any subaru meeting and you find people doing the same thing .. or polishing their engine bays. Good luck to the guy with the ferrari. He's obviousely very successful and I'm sure there is more to the story then you've said. Perhaps it was a club 187 meet or something.
Contain your jealousy ... if you work hard perhaps you'll be able to get a 430 one day.

It's a reasonably affluent area so not uncommon to see these types of cars.

Quite sad that a bloke would do that. Obviously he got the car etc to try and pull 'someone' to lose his virginity with
Regarding the comment about the Impreza meets, I do find it a bit funny when someone opens their bonnet and a mini stampede ensues.

I was hitting high speeds with an f430 in the bends and he wouldn't pull over to let me past, my friend behind me was saying I spent more time braking as I assumed he would pull over !!!

It must really dent their ego when they have forked out that much money on a car and a Scooby comes blinding past them like they are looking for parking

If I was out and a guy was parked up with a Ferrari 430, I for one would go over and have a chat. . .
Yes, I am a teeny bit envious (different to jealousy) of anyone with a ferrari, but chances are that he works very hard for it.
A true Italian thoroughbred, hand made by artists in Modena, or a mass produced econobox with a flat four and a turbo stuffed on purely to go rallying and raise it's profile to help it sell?
I don't care how fast your subaru is, I'd rather have the 430 EVERYDAY of the week. . . . .

Come on, no diffrence to the scooby drivers that wear the racing 555 jacket and stand beside their scooby's and pose at asda carparks.
The guy may have worked hard in life so let him enjoy his ferrari
The way i look at it is, our life hasn't worked out quite as well as we imagined and the result is we make to with a scooby.
Not nice to make britian jealous society.

I had a little tussle with a Bentley Continental GT a while back. He found it rather frustrating that he kept dropping back off my bumper when I was accelerating hard through 3rd and 4th.
Once in 5th, I would coast down a little for him to come rushing back onto my bumper, only for him to be disappointed again.

Possibly the right answer. Most under estimate how big and common the car rental business is ...and how often youngsters spend hundereds over weekends to do this. Huge fashion in Birmingham.....I know all this because of a friends rental company.....and how good his business because of these types of people

My mate had his Porsche crashed into last week. He was given an 08 997 Carrera with 1.5k miles to bum around in whilst his is fixed. So I imagine there is quite a market for high end rental motors.

High end car rental is the new money laundering top business, most such new companies springing up everywhere are usually owned by young lads whos main business is selling something else
