<\/p>\nI’ve been of the opinion for a while that before I have any kids I want to have a house and a ferrari, well.. step one is complete, and I think I’m still a little off step #2 (mainly thanks to another 4-wheeled money pit).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now I realise that with ferraris, an older type car would be the cheapest entry point, with some going in the 40,000$ range. However I have noticed recently that with a little bit of luck, one can pick up a Testarossa for the $70,000 range, that’s cheaper then the a new Monaro but with a hundred times the class. But it’s an old engine I hear you say, a 390hp car is hardly impressive these days. This is where Northwood Performance<\/a> come in, they sell twin turbo updates for the testarossas in 450, 650, 800 and 1000hp (at the wheels) kits. So I am of the belief that for under $100,000, one could build a very streetable 800hp supercar (I think I would cream myself driving it for the 1st time)- it would be in no way legal, but what cop knows what the engine of a Ferarri is SUPPOSED to look like??? meh…. add it to the goal list methinks.. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n In other news, things are steady as she goes, the house is getting painted, the paver has been sorted – I think a BBQ is next on the list, along with a retaining wall, blinds and the front fence-divide…… It’ll be interesting to see how far I get before christmas hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been of the opinion for a while that before I have any kids I want to have a house and a ferrari, well.. step one is complete, and I think I’m still a little off step #2 (mainly thanks to another 4-wheeled money pit).
