Many, many years ago a supplier bought a Ferrari. He’d always been a Porsche man but couldn’t get delivery. So he changed allegiances. He had his Ferrari for a week, perpetually struggled to get it in reverse so gave it back.

The Ferrari I drove many many years ago as an 18 year old was incredibly difficult to drive, very notchy H-gate gearbox with a very heavy clutch with little travel. Easy to miss a gear, easy to grind the gears and impossible to drive smoothly - maybe I'd be better now with nearly an extra 40 years' driving experience!

Not having driven a modern Ferrari I have no idea whether they are much more civilised to drive but would suspect so.

A friend of mine bought one when he sold his company and got rid very quickly as it drew too much attention. He now drives a C4S, sensible chap ;)

It’s all about the colour choice, VanB! :lol:

A black, grey or dark blue Ferrari (at least certain models) would be more ‘under the radar’ than a 911 in say Racing Yellow, Lava Orange, Miami Blue or even Guards Red. ;)

GT silver for a reason, Simon.

If I am lucky enough to replace it with another Porsche sports car then Lava Orange is calling me

Only thing that puts me off Lava Orange is that in some lights, it can look a bit like Salmon Pink... :?

Yes I was close to speccing Lava Orange on my GT3 but as Simon says it does look Salmon Pink in some lights. So played it safe and went GT silver.
