I would like to get my first before I am 30. Fingers crossed, that goal can be achieved! When did you get your first?

I had the very same goal. Made it by about 3 months.

How long have you got to your deadline?

I'm only 17 so have still got a long time! Started up a little business to help pay a the stupendous £9k a year for Uni and will take it from there!

I'll hope you maybe get a Porsche Cayman in my mid 20's and then move on to a Ferrari as soon as I can (hopefully) afford one!

Keep the faith, no reason to think you can't achieve that in 13 years. though before you go buying a Cayman, just check the prices of Ferrari's. At the moment you could get a Ferrari for Cayman money! (granted that might not be the case when you are in your mid 20s)

I was 4, it was a dark green Dinky Toy 250 GT Lusso '63.......
My first "real" one when I became 38 in '99, a new grigio titanio 550.

You bought your first one new 212? Never knew that. In the deep end, way to go!

Any pics of that 550?

46, transaction in progress. I had the same goal of a Ferrari by 30, then by 40, then just eventually. I could have made any of those goals but chose other priorities (did I say "life" or "wife"?). Just kidding about the wife thing. She's on board which makes things easier.

WIll have my 360 in a few days then on to a 12 cyl. Plan to have 2 cars by years end. Making up for lost time :-)
