Why my boss does this, basically He has a Ferrari 360 and the only time he ever has it out is to park in full view. I've never actually seen him drive it. Seems a shame to me. Think his brother has one as well. though he brothers on his second as his first got mutilated on an aqua plane smash on a motorway!

Mind you my bosses daily car is that Mercedes SUV thing on the left!

The Ferrari is sweet as though! wouldn't let him catch me admiring it though, as he's a arrogant and extremely big headed, but he can afford to be eh?

So he got it out the garage, to stick it on his drive next to his brothers? That can't be good for the engine.

Perhaps he saw what happened to his brothers one and decided to not use it as much?

I wouldn't drive it too much. Servicing is about £3k every 5000 miles.

Money shouldn't be an issue if you decide to own a Ferrari.

Yea, turning on engines and running them kills them. It's much better to never turn them off and never let them run.

Do you think that rich people all have money trees and don't work?

Right so he never uses it yet when he does its to turn in on and drive about 20metres. Thats going to be great for the cold engine.

I dn't remember saying either of those things, odd. I'm guessing money isn't tight seeing as he has his own business, and £140k worth of vehicles.

Well, his family run a hotel / restaurant business! they own two plots If I recall correctly, they have an SUV each and his sister has a jag, couldn't say which.

don't really speak to he boss man much, but I've heard rumours he's won on the dogs a couple of times.

But he must of been doing okay before.

The oil still protects the engine when it's cold. It's just it won't get up to a high enough pressure to protect the engine at high revs. Hence why you let the engine warm up before you give it some revs.

lol I agree, but I really cannot say I've seen him drive it, and I've worked there for nearly a year. Maybe I just haven't seen him, but still seems a shame not to drive!
