You climb into a car
which you have never seen
in your life before,
blip the throttle
accelerate away
and immediately feel at home.

Ferrari's different...you know it.

(1985) 308 GT4...Red Mondial QV...Silver Cabrio...Red Mondial 8...Blue Mondial QV...now Blue Mondial 348T (2001)

Here's my 308 GT4 some years ago...Wow - all those carbs

circa 1987

We are proud, in part, to have sponsored Ashley's flamboyant lifestyle.
Since first meeting in 1985 with the "swop" of a two year old Porsche 944,
for a seven year old Ferrari 308 GT4.
At the conclusion of this magnificent deal Jannie delivered the telling blow,
this being the signing of the bank's financial papers.
Thus armed, Jannie joined Ashley.
In 1986 Martin returned with Gert who bought a yellow Mazda RX7.
Gert enjoyed this car for a number of years.
Bruised, battered into submission, Martin returned to buy a (sandy coloured nogal),
Mercedes 450 SLC which Ashley resprayed red.
This car delivered marvellous performance for a number of years.
Ashley then took Martin's white De Tomaso Pantera Group V off his hands,
bent the valves by Plett and resprayed it red.
Then Ashley's driver delivered a blue Ferrari Mondial to Martin's door in 1993.
This car was driven until 1999 - a new world record.
In year 2000 Jannie bought Martin's Land Cruiser over the phone.
Ferrari Mondial 348T Cabriolet returned to the PEodium in 2001.

Ashley, Jannie...Thank you. Your opinions and assistance are much respected.
You deserve all the good things in life. You have earned your badges.

A lot of money has been spent on telephone calls,
But more has been traded on motor vehicles.
