What's your favourite car you've ever owned and why? Sorry if this has been asked or shared somewhere else on the forum
Probably the Ferrari F50. Just a brilliant car all-around. The V12 engine is unique and spectacular, brilliant gearbox, and superb handling. https://t.co/ep8cRBNlKW

Mine too. Even though I have never driven either (F40 & F50) and most likely never will but I have seen both at Goodwood and the F50 just seems like the ultimate exotica. An interior that can actually be lived with, the best sounding engine ever made and a gated six speed transmission and it is a convertible too! Maybe one day with Euro millions.

My love of it came after i bought a yellow one as a Scalextric car which was unreal compared to virtually every other Scalextric car i owned

I wrote this a few years ago when we owned both a F50 and F40: https://karenable.com/ferrari-f40-vs-f50/

@SSO What's the recipe behind such an impressive collection? I respect privacy, if its a personal question and you don't want to answer it, that's cool. Just curious
Find something you enjoy to do (that hopefully pays pretty well) and then get to be really good at it.
When you do spend money, try to spend it on things that retain value.

How long have you owned the Alfa? Any owner issues?
I'd absolutely love a Veloce, but realistically a 340i just seems a safer bet

Had it 5 weeks now, it's such a fun car! Never had a auto/rwd car but it's been brilliant! Glad I picked the Veloce 280 and not a diesel, the 2.0 does like to shift, and has bee so far a very good experience. Was deciding between this and a 320i happy to have picked the Alfa

Awesome, do you know if the car has Apple car play as standard?

Early 2017 models do not have Android/apple car play. You will need a late 2018 Giulia. They changed the internals of the HU so it's not a simple software fix unfortunately. It needs 2 USB sockets in the arm rest, 2017 models just have the one USB
I should add it's standard from late 2018!
