Half A Ton Of Muscle With A Brain The Size Of A Cat

It seemed like a nice day for a drive in the country..

A real My Own Pri­vate Idaho kind of day.

A friend of mine has sta­bles north of the city here. Here's what a four legged Fer­rari looks like:

Yep, that beau­ti­ful beast will set you back about the same amount as a brand new Fer­rari. It doesn't go quite as fast, but has a hell of a lot more pres­tige — I guess that's the trade-off you make. It's going to be rid­den by one of the top 3 dres­sage rid­ers in the world at the upcom­ing 'Equi­tana' — the largest equine event in the south­ern hemisphere.

So here's what it looks like from the dri­ving seat:

Excited? You should be! I know I was.

Strug­gled a bit chang­ing gears & couldn't find the vol­ume con­trol, but other than that it was all­lll good.

How does it com­pare to the four wheeled vari­ety? Ahh, I can't say. Haven't had the chance to drive a reg­u­lar Fer­rari yet — their own­ers are an oddly pos­ses­sive lot I've noticed. No probs, there's at least a cou­ple of places near here that rent them out. I'll have a play & get back to you.

Oh, and here's an action shot:

Yes, that's what hap­pens when I give a noob my cam­era. You'll just have to imag­ine it's me being awe­some. Hey well done! In your mind I'm amaaaaaz­ing! *laugh*
