I bought this when I was 27…11 years ago. This year it’s been treated to…erm, everything! The final stage is this detailing. Maybe it is all worth it?

Mulsanne maths: 6 mile journey across town - 11mpg - £4 fuel. Bus is £2.20 each way. So it’s cheaper than taking the bus. Fact.

Mulsanne maths: 6 miles @ 11mpg = £4 fuel. Walking 6 miles is 600 Kcals. Steak is 2500 Kcals/kg - good steak is £40/kg - so walking would cost about £9. Mulsanne is cheaper than walking.

30 550 Maranello miles this morning. ‘Only’ 485 bhp but it pulls like train, my word. Low drag and weight and a fabulous V12 still ‘does it’ way better than most modern supercars for me.

There’s a big chunk of me that struggles to get my head around the price of cars today! Fabulous thing, but £200k is a lot of money! Plus, assuming someone finances it…that could be nigh on a quarter of a million quid!

I was asked a straight question the other day: which car do you like most? It’s this one. It’s hard to drive well, it’s horrific on fuel, ridiculously expensive to run and the clutch makes my left foot go dead in traffic. But, it’s a V12, manual Ferrari. I love it muchly.

I had a moment earlier this week. Everything was getting sold. I’ll buy a 991 manual and run it everyday…zero hassle, lots of use and smiles per mile. Laura can have the family car and life is simpler. Then I drive one of the old girls and that plan gets canned.

It’s odd. I miss my old 355 F1. Originally silver and repainted red (not by me) and imperfect elsewhere, too. It drove really well and I wasn’t too precious about it. My ‘new’ blue one, on the other hand, is everything I ever wanted…and maybe a little too perfect. I’m confused!

Is it unique to cars that this sort of thing happens…Q: Do you prefer a Cayman S or GTS (for example) as I’m thinking of purchasing. Ran some person: ‘ah lame, got to be a GT2RS, why bother otherwise.’ (Jumps in their Peugeot 308HDI)
