Bob’s Second Run With Ferrari

By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG by CarAdvice.com.au

I’VE been meaning to point this article as a “must read” for sometime now.

Recently, a fellow automotive writer – Bob Hume – wrote the best review on a Ferrari that I’ve read in a good long while.

What was so good about Mr. Hume’s piece was that he didn’t bore us to tears with the pat 0-60, 100-0 explanations (a simple table does the trick) but rather waxed lyrical about the experience of driving his second press Ferrari.

Funnily enough, he recalled the first experience which didn’t go as he’d hoped.

“A smiling man handed me the bright red key and asked me to be careful. Trying to act like this sort of thing happened to me every day I immediately dropped the key, flopped awkwardly into the cockpit, then stalled the car twice,” he wrote.

Nice writing, Bob.
