I particularly like the blue and thought you would too San having owned an MCB, it is an identical colour to that
But I don't think I could see myself in a non-red Fezza.
Actually, I saw a red S on the A3 today and it did look rather nice.
Hey ho, at least he's got a Ferrari!

Wonder if the fact that it is cool blue rather than hot-headed red has anything to do with the benign way the car has been received by other road-users?
Our next-door-neighbour had his blue Fezza resprayed red.

Lovely story about a true motoring icon, just a pity the yarn is tinged of sadness.
The joy of having a partner that shares or at least takes an interest is without price, and in that regard I'm truly blessed.
The ownership of sports cars in the last 20 years has been shared with my lovely lady, who looks forward to joining me on our al fresco drives.
I appreciated her input when choosing the S2000, for she joined me for a test drive and offered her views on colour, yet making it clear it was my toy and therefore my choice.
But here is somebody with lots of money to indulge his passion but with few to share it with, least of all his wife.
I just wonder if the frequent changes of exotic cars is some form of substitute for an area in a relationship that is remote and distant.
I suspect he would never openly admit it, but his pleasure in the Ferrari is tainted by his wife having no interest in it. There's some issues by his unfeeling statement that the delivery of the Ferrari was the happiest day of his life.

as someone whose partner has no interest in his cars
it's irrelevant
might even be an advantage - no debates about money spent on the hobby either
nice write up Sazzy - the gearchange is quite something isn't it?

It was a bit tongue in cheek BB. They are a very happy family. Although they have plenty of money she still loves to get a bargain in Primark and doesn't spend his money as some women would. They have enjoyed an Alpha Romeo driving holiday around Italy recently and had a brilliant time. It was definitely nice for him to have me there being so enthusiastic and understanding why he would be so passionate about a car that he has wanted for a long time though and I'm really lucky that he is so generous.
It's brilliant that you and your wife share the same passion, I'm hoping that I can convert Mr. Sazzy during our forthcoming visit to Rockingham in the S

You lot know nowt.
Dark blue is perfect for Ferrari
The drop top on a 360 however isn't.
I agree with Gad - the other half having little interest in cars has it's advantages.
