    Ferrari F430 test drive, vs my Mirage after over 7 years: comparison

    I had the chance to finally use my Christmas 2019 present. Do 1 lap, driving a Ferrari. Turned out to be only around 45 seconds of fun. Carnival atmosphere. High rolling types, and townies like myself.

    The paddle shifters were entertaining. Ferrari was very fast. I could not believe how low to the ground the car was.

    As well as the HORRIBLE visibility. I had to do a U turn and park the car. However, as over 6' myself, the Mirage could have better visibility for me. I'm endlessly adjusting my Mirage's centre mirror as I go. Anyway I posted a photo of myself in the Ferrari. Notice the track is soaking wet. On and off rain all day. I read an article inside in their freebie magazine nobody but myself took, about Tony Iommi, the guitarist had one of the early Lambos in baby blue back in the 70s.

    Also saw some drag racing, I will ad a photo of that as well. What an exciting day that actually felt normal for once.
