A must-have

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).

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 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.. 🙂

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.
