    I’m a dad with 4 kids, they didn’t want to hang around with dad much when they got to their late teens, so when I decided to get a newish car, I got a Granturismo, room isn’t a problem because only one or two of my kids come out for a drive.
    So far your videos are excellent. So I’ve subscribed 👍.

    A nice video, well balanced and not spoilt by preconceived ideas or views. Have had a 2001 manual for around 10 years and still love it, yes its flawed but deserves far more appreciation and respect than it currently gets - far too underrated an undervalued.

    I promised my other half that I’d get a more practical car after my Boxster was written off…one that could fit the three of us, rather than having to take her Mini Clubman if we went out as a family.
    I went out and bought a Quattroporte, with the Ferrari F136 engine. It’s a masterpiece and puts a massive smile on my face each time I drive it, which isn’t bad for a luxo-sports barge.
    Long live the V8!

    THATS MY CAR!!!! Hey I used to own that exact car back in 2011. I sold it to a one legged man who I think was called Ian who appreciated the automatic transmission. It had the perfect paint colour and interior combination and it was a 2001 with most of the issues of the earlier cars sorted out. Had loads of fun it and I sorted out the throttle body that always plagued these models.

I had this issue when i first bought it due to the crap original throttle body. I know this video is old now, but I hope it isn't still doing that because thats not normal, thought i'd let you know.
