I play about with other stuff, but cars are it, that"s what I love doing. I could talk about cars, read about cars, drive cars, every day. Cars are a problem, an addiction I can"t use them all, but I form an emotional attachment to them, and that makes it hard to move them on. I"ll have owned my Ferrari F40 for 18 years in May. It"s never been out in the rain I"ve left it places at night when it"s started to rain. It"s got a ton more power than grip, it"s nice and light I tell you, the house would go before that car.I divide my cars into keepers and, well, not-keepers. Keepers include the F40, an F355 Spider that I bought new in 1998, a new Porsche 911 R, my hotrod 911 a 1973 911 T that has 330bhp and only weighs 900kg and a 2004 Mercedes E55 AMG. That"s not the best-handling motor, but it"s great for smoking around in.Cars that have been and gone, well, I almost instantly regretted swapping a Porsche 911 Speedster for a Ferrari 348, so I changed that for a Testarossa, found that too unwieldy, and ended up with the F355.
