Great idea for a thread!!
I'll have to answer this without saying yesterday - i.e. picking up my first Ferrari.
The one that stands out for me was the day I first saw an F40 on the road. I was absolutely speechless.
From birth to 21 I probably hadn't seen more than half a dozen Ferraris in my life.
I'd just left University and moved to London - The BIG city! Loved cars, even back then (what 21 yr old guy doesn't?!).
I was turning into the road that goes across Hyde Park in London, when an F40 pulled in front of me - I followed him all the way across the park, and then for a little while afterwards.
It probably doesn't sound like a particularly impressive story - which it isn't - but it had a massive impression on me. It was 11 years ago, and I remember it as though it was yesterday. I swear, that was the day my passion was born. I can't say I've always yearned for a Ferrari, I've thought about it off and on since then - mostly dreaming, but always knowing the day would come. It's funny to remember that day, the day after I finally achieved it!! That makes me feel jolly good :green:
