Drive a Ferrari for €129

unkel

15 minute briefing and then you can drive a 348 for 45 minutes in the Dublin area. Pretty good value if you ask me...

Don't think I'd pay that, not for a 348 anyway.

OT - were you near the Topaz in Carlow around lunchtime yesterday? Cars looking well if it was you...

Id give him 50 quid for a spin in it, it's an old skool Ferrari hardly anything modern. It's not worth 129 for 45 minute spin in it. Sounds like an arm chancer to me. Sorry I know it's a Ferrari but not that one anyways!

If it was a Testarossa I would not moan about it:)

Would be much more interested in something like this if you could take it on track

any idea what the dress code is about?

'Participants should wear trousers, long sleeved shirt and slim flat-soled shoes'

bad previous experiences with trouser-less participants?

Probably doesn't want sweaty legs from shorts touching his leather seats!
Shoes are for the narrow pedals.

Well it's his car I suppose, if he is using the dress code as an excuse to filter out w@nkers then so be it. I'd be selective about who I let drive my Ferrai also.

Its cheaper than in Maranello.

There it costs you €60 for 15 minutes in a 430 and €100 for 15 minutes in a 458 so it aint that expensive.

It's the bovine variety.

For €130 to drive the car it's not that bad. You'd pay a he'll of a lot more for one of the modern ones. I know they'd be more interesting but you're not going to be able to really drive it on a public road anyway.

Why a long sleeved shirt? Why not a polo shirt? I wear long sleeved shirt to work with a tie. I don't own casual ones. I'm not buying a shirt as well.

"I'm out".

See the link to his actual page. He refers to the dreams of driving a Ferrari in DUBLIN. Frankly most people would dream of 45 minutes in the Ferrari around Ladies view in Killarney or on the Galway to Clifden road but NOT around the traffic clogged roads of Dublin.

Come on. :rolleyes:

If you get a chance to go down the N11 at 3 in the morning I'll pay for that

I'm assuming though this lad is going to be sitting next to the client which is no fun. All that briefing sh!te is bound to be full of restrictions like sticking to the speed limit etc:p.

Land for your drive wearing nothing but boxers with these glasses on http://game1.pogo.com/applet/images/jigsaw/cases/case30/story30c.jpg

Also have a steering wheel handcuffed to your wrist.

Sounds like shíte value to me. As already said, you'd probably end up stuck in traffic for the 45 minutes, so the only thing you'll get is depressed watching how fast the petrol gauge moves.

And considering in the UK, Germany, France and Spain that Hertz are renting out Lotus Evora for ~€250 a day, €130 for 45 minutes in an old (probably uncomfortable) ferrari seems balls.
