Well at least as far as driving/being driven in one goes, have seen a few over the years , but never in NZ.
Though if the one they tested on Top Gear a while back was anything to go by, Hans's description sounds like it's on the money!

Does look cool for a car that made it's debut in the mid '60's though!

To elaborate: Drop dead gorgeous in every way. But it could do with a bit less aerodynamic LIFT and would benefit from two bags of cement attached to the front somewhere. The rest are just minor flaws.
I've been fortunate to have a play with a fair few cars of this sort as I was involved with a business that imported them from Switzerland, restored them and on-sold them. Them were the days. Having said that, I'm possibly a bit biased, because I am a Ferrari man at heart.

I translated and interpreted for that company and took my payment as time in their cars. The two cars I remember with the most fondness are the 275gtb/4 and the D-type. I'd give my left kidney and right ball for the 275.

My parents live in Parnell. About two years ago I was invited to meet a neighbour on the other side of the street.

He had a Ferrari Enzo in his basement garage. It was a beautiful car and I presume it is still there.

Went to the dealers and I politely asked, simple as that.

A good friend of mines godfather is Gavin Bain of Fazzaz in Christchurch, I've been over to his place in Goveners Bay and spend an afternoon going over his personal collection. Everything from the very last Porsche 356 through to his F40. When he noticed me taking more interest in his classic exotica he took from the large warehouse style building we were in to his climate controlled, polished wood floor 'true exotica' garage, where I got lay eyes and hands on a 1926 Bugatti F1 car, one of the two the factory ran that year. He had been fielding offers from Bugatti on a weekly basis to take the car back, offering him at the time cash plus a Bugatti EB110. He still has the F1 car.

Also I've been lucky enough to (illegally) drive a factory 1993 Porsche RSR race car. My employer at the time got punted off the track at the Wellington Waterfront race, the car got shipped back to Christchurch and at 22yrs old I was tasked with driving it around town until I could find a panel beater to repair it. Despite numerous offers of repairing it on time I just had to shop around for the best deal.

Otherwise I driven a smattering of normal Porsches, from a 1978 911SC through to a 996 Carrera. The next car on my shopping list will be an SC, I'd love a 73-76 model but they are increasing in price daily, whereas you can still pick up a tidy 78-80 SC for around 30k.

Still not had the chance to steer a Ferrari or Lambo myself, one day hopefully.

Hmmmm where to start.
79 911 (will see if I can dig out the photos) back when I was 17. Sounded awesome and raw. Not the fastest - but definitely got attention. friend of a friend.

96 RUF......dealership, and we asked pretty please.

Ferrari 350........got to park it at a party

Also for a period I was helping start and warm up the cars at Giltrap Prestige on the way in to Uni. Lambo's sounded SO FUCKING GOOD!

but the only one I have done the "Oh fuck me!" was actually a old 94 BMW 850i........first car I found that when you put the key in......everything moved. The seats got lower the faster you went (over 180). Was awesome.

But lately I hate to say it, but I have fallen for a Nissan.
Sitting in the new GTR at the speedshow was the first time I have EVER sat in a car.......and found everything was exactly where I wanted. Friend sat in it (he is slightly shorter) and everything was in the wrong place and he hated it.
So it seems the GTR was custom built for me.
DAMN YOU NISSAN!

Oh the GT-R. I just might have a photo or two but I'll stop bragging.

**onearmedbandit** · 24th August 2010, 10:30

I haven't been in the new GTR yet, but I've had plenty of experience behind the wheels of the R32, 33 and 34 models. The nicest example I have driven was a 650hp R34 in Japan. The owner was pointing wildly at the dash at one stage, I assumed I was going to fast so slowed down a bit (by this stage we were back in Nagoya). It was then explained to me I wasn't driving hard enough, and that the owner was pointing at the rev counter and telling me to take it to 9000rpm when accelerating. Of course I obliged, holding the steeriung wheel with my knee as I changed gear, the car kicking sideways. On the same trip to Japan I was picking up some go fast bits for a R32 GTR from a performance house, and got to spend a lot of time looking over their R32 drag car, capable of running high 7's at about 288km/h. Very impressive, and they were only to happy to show me everything they had done to the beast.

Also been a passenger in an R32 our car yard owned, pulling a 10s 1/4 down the back streets of Sydenham, that was an experience. Tunnel vision anyone?

Until it was written off by his ex-wife, my brother owned one of the orgina GTR's, a 1967 Nissan Prince Skyline GT. Very rare car, with the original engine found on a farm. Unfortunately now it is no more.

None of these cars however have I had the pleasure of calling mine, they were either friends cars or cars that the dealership I managed owned. With my left arm paralysed it's just not really practical for me to own a high performance manual car and really enjoy it. A Porsche SC I'll make the exception for, but that will nt be thrashed anyway.

**avgas** · 24th August 2010, 10:36

Anyone test driven the new Evora?
I got invited to the test drive 2 years ago........but I was a few km away from the UK.

**avgas** · 24th August 2010, 10:43

I will always miss this car. Out of all the cars I have owned this is my favorite
I hope the new owner kept it in good nic. Was worth a bit of coin if it went back to japan.
