I have no idea if it's of any interest to any of you but I was asked by the BBC to do a little 5 minute piece for the local radio on the day I bought my first Ferrari. Here it is. I'm rather chuffed with it.

Listened to your broadcast….pretty cool, great story and really happy for you…you have a wonderful wife…dreams do come true……

My wife said the same to me but I said no, instead I renovated our home. My wife is happy and I will when I make the final leap…

Excellent! Great job on your interview! Your story sounds very similar to my own. Busting knuckles until one day you achieve your dream.

BTW - I had to consult the English to American dictionary to determine the meaning of "chuffed". I'd never heard that word. I learned that when someone is "chuffed" they are generally pleased with life. I also learned that if you use it as a verb, it means you farted. So owning a Ferrari is the automotive equivalent of farting. Both make you feel good.

Great clip, I like history you went into of wanting a Ferrari and then getting it!

Great clip and a wonderful story.

These are the things that always bring forth a smile.

You are nice fella, you deserve that car. The moment that touched me is when you said that 12K was over the top money for you. I mean a new Vectra is 20K. Its cleat that you are down to earth guy. Its great to see nice cars belonging to the right people.
Most of the ferraris are sold to rich nobs, who have no love nor appreciation for cars.
