    Personally, I love the direction the channel has taken; these are exactly the cars I lust over and want to see. I would expect you to likely pick up subs from Harry’s Garage, even if you lose those that sub to Mr. Jww. Just to add…I think your philosophy regarding how you care and enjoy your cars is spot-on. Great video, cheers!

    Nothing more to say. 80's icon, side strakes, Miami Vice. I spent my childhood watching that. The Testarossa in Miami Vice was black for one episode (Liam Neeson drove it as a bad guy), they resprayed it white and gave it to Crockett after blowing up the fake Daytona so in white it would look better in the night shots (Michael Mann being into night scenes). I spent every Thursday afternoon in 1986/87 playing Outrun down at Roddy's arcade in Stockport when I should have been in woodwork class.. My favourite car of the 80's (F40 aside). Top purchase Tom.

    To be honest I can't fault you. I bought a 360 spider a few years back and after a couple of years now and after owning the car 6 years I just baby it. I just drive it when I want to and only take it out when I want to but cover 500 to 1000 miles every year. At the end of the day its yours, you work for it and do with it exactly as you please.

    ive owned a lot of cars from other ferrari's to my corvettes and honestly, nothing gives me the feeling of my TR and none of them get more looks and compliments than my TR. All I've done was put 18in rims and modern day tires along with an exhaust and its perfect. You feel the road. You drive it and you get feedback ( not as raw as an F40 but similar) I do have the upgrade TR where you get the upgraded cooling, A/C and 5 lug rims but still, the heavy steering until you are moving is just amazing. (The best was the original "car phone" it came with along with the CD changer LOL) Kept it all but upgraded the stereo.

    18:49 All TR's seem to be that way. I've driven the 512m for some time, and despite being the final and refined evolution in the TR family, the brakes never really have that sure feeling stopping power. You gotta nearly stand on them to get any real stopping power out of them.

    My poster car used to be a Countach until I was lucky enough to get a few rides in one both on road and track. The Testarossa is a far nicer and more comfortable cabin to spend time in. Not to mention that visibility out is way better.
