Arriving at Tesco in the Maz at Llantrisant, I saw very nice sounding Ferrari, red obviously, just leaving. Sounded absolutely awesome. Not sure what it was as it was mostly hidden by the barrier. However, it did get me to thinking. My plan was to eventually upgrade my 3200GTA to a GTS. However, after seeing and hearing the Ferrari, I am reconsidering my options. A 360 F1 would be a very worthy replacement. Even better, it only has two seats so it can't be used as the family commute, though I might do the weekly shop in it.... Lol
Anyone got any thoughts on Maserati V Ferrari??? All comments welcomed.
Cheers peeps, here's to an awesome bank holiday

It is my plan to get a 348, as always wanted one. Would rather keep the AC too if I could.

love Ferraris but I don't think they give you the "under the radar" look....like a 911 and a Maserati does...they louder like a lambo....nothing wrong with louder but sometimes you want to get about fast and not be seen.....

the best Ferraris for this are the GTs like the 456 and 550s...........

afternoon all I do like the Ferrari 456 and the Ferrari 550 not everybody's cup of tea, but then throw in an Aston in the mix and am now having a headache being 6ft 5 and the best part of 23 stone having enough room is always the first thing for me

Clive the 456 is a great car loved mine and I love Enzos 550 but the 456 has 4 seats and great value for money. But the V12 is thirsty makes a 4200 economic.

In an ideal world, I too would keep the AC but as I am having to get a. Family run around soon, plus keeping the bike, I don't think my good lady would stomach me having three cars, a bike, oh and her car too....lol
We shall see, still out of my price range at present but nothing wrong with having hopes and dreams.
I never once dreamed I would ever have had the chance to drive some of the cars I have, never,ind owning them, then to have a Maserati on the drive...well things have never been so good.

Skid agree with you on that, I would never have thought I would have a Maserati as well and it just makes me smile every time.:smile:
and found out a week ago I can get two sets of golf clubs in the car.

You are so right my old 4200 always gets respect. There is just something special when people say you own a Maserati.

Agree Dan........Gallardo for me over 360 or 430.....Just never been a fan of the shape of both cars....Drove a 360 F1 and didn't do anything for me...Had a ride in a Galardo and that excited.....

Maserati is a passion, ferrari is an indulgence, lambos are for the **** of it and astons are for saddos who think they will be mistaken for someone else.
