but there's something about Ferrari I don't know you know what Porsches a
great car Lamborghini is a great car but somewhat in people's mind if it's not
Ferrari it's it's you know it's just another car
my passion for cars comes from my dad without a doubt you know my dad is now
85 years old and you know back then when we were in school I had this poster in
my bedroom office Chester rosa and it's something that I I thought one day I've
loved you all and if anything when you look in the Testarossa in the 1984-85
it looked more like a concept car and to think way back then they're able to
design a car with such beauty and that beauty you see when these cars are on
the road and you see it while you're sitting in America or it goes past you
or you look at the new rear view mirror it's an absolutely beauty
it's such a pleasure to drive you should know down you feel the road he's got a
nice big steering wheel's the handling is fantastic
it's got to talk like the gearshift ease you stuck it to those gears you hear the
metal sound as it changes gear which is very different from all your new cars
today
but coming back to the Testarossa the handling considering it has a wide
wheelbase step back the narrow wheelbase in the front it's such an amazing car to
drive and from the time I laid my eye on one and I test drove one properly on an
open road I was I was taken aback
what really gives me satisfaction about the stuff I think it's the noise when I
say the noise when you said inside the car although it might be a bit noisy you
don't realize the kind of engine tone it has until you're sitting in another kind
when it just goes
and I had that experience when we made the trip from Durban to Cape Town over
1800 probably 2,000 kilometers you know I had the opportunity my son drove it
for a lot of the way but I had the chance to drive it because he we swapped
over and we want to feel and experience the different cars we went down with and
my son drove the Testarossa and and he said to me this is a man's
car you know I was quite amazed why do you want to drive a Testarossa I mean I
must say it's really that so-called man's car you feel the car you feel the
road you feel the hand amongst many of the cars this is one particular car that
I don't think so I'll ever sell I hope to keep it to the day I I die for that
much and hoping that even my next generation being my son that he holds on
to it because it's really a special car the fact that I think I was first
introduced to Ferrari why that poster frame that I had in my in my in my
bedroom many years ago and that stuck in my mind I wish I still had that frame to
this day I would have had the chair somewhere my garage but I think that is
why I'm so attached to this particular car and as I said probably earlier on
when the Testarossa was launched it was such an iconic car and I think that's
the attachment I have the you know being this Ferrari beauty dread and that's
what I have right here I'm so proud to be the owner of this particular testa
Rossa
