Ferrari 348 driving experience on citydeal

linky

Its not on a track though its around the public roads:

...with an instructor who will quietly remind the driver every ten seconds that they haven’t morphed into Michael Schumacher

Interesting way to pay for your new ferrari, spend a year letting Joe Public have a spin for €300 an hour!

If that includes the inevitable speeding fines then its a bit of a bargain!

Meh, you'd get far better deals in the UK. I was looking at one for £449 last night for six laps each in a:

- Ferrari 360
- Gallardo
- Porsche 968
- Impreza WRX STI
- Evo VIII

That's better then a few days in an old Mondial.

I can't believe they actually use that in the Marketing text...it would totally turn me off purchasing the voucher knowing the instructor is going to be giving out to me every time I try to hop it off the rev limiter.

I love how they use an image of a modern Ferrari (Enzo?) and then you end up getting to drive an ancient 348

Wow, they actually did, I thought that was just the OP's comment. That completely ruins the whole point of it. I'm well aware I'm not Michael Schumacher, I'm probably not even as good a driver as some random kid who has done a few go-kart races, but why bother getting in a Ferrari if they're going to nag me every time I try and drive it a bit quick.

Has it not occured to them that the whole point of a Ferrari is speed. The good looks, great engine noises, and huge expense are really just side-products of this.

. Participants should wear trousers, long sleeved shirt and slim flat-soled shoes (pedals in Ferraris are close together). Drivers over 6ft may feel cramped.

Long sleeved shirt .... The kind of people their trying to keep aware will have those left over from a Court Case anyway.

Arse to that ... I'd spend the money on a track day in an MX-5 or something.

My wife looked into this sort of idea as a xmas present for me and as with that example you have to put 1k security deposit. The amount of forums she found where the companies claimed all sorts of supposed damage to the car, not many people getting it back really put her off.

Went and did track day in England instead, great crack in Aston DBS and Lambo Gallardo.

Absurdum

I'd say your man would wreck your head in that thing.

Bit of a let down, maybe false advertising?

The citideal page has a Ferarri Enzo as the main picture. http://www.citydeal.ie/deals/dublin?nlp=&CID=IE_CRM_215_0_0_0&utm_source=Deal_general_newsletter&utm_medium=All_Cities&utm_content=Initial_Version&utm_campaign=Varies

But the 348 is around 20 years old now, nowhere in the same league as an Enzo.

I was SOOOO close to buying it for myself, then a seen the 348:(:(

I'd prefer to drive it on a track.

RobAMerc

this would be sh1t in my opinion.
a 20yo Ferrari would be an absolute pig round the city streets - probably turn most of the people who will buy this off the brand. And to ahve yer man sitting beside you telling you to slow down ever 2 minutes !!! :rolleyes:

Btw - I saw a 348 with some lad struggling to get it into gear there last week, must be this lot - I'd say he's sick, it was probably sh1t and half price now !
