Mrs F1 Fanatic read the following in a book today and thought it described me very well. Anyone else?
“Now I am of those who are affected by motor-cars: their lines thrill me, the harmony of their colour touches me, a gallant device wins my earnest admiration so that, walking along Piccadilly, I will distress my mind by being a partisan of one, a despiser of that one. Nor am I to be won by any cheap thing, no matter how brave-seeming it may be to the eye, how admirable in endurance; but I am to be won only by the simple lines, the severe and menacing aspect, of the aces among motor-cars; for economy hath charms, but not to the eye.”
The quote is from The Green Hat by Michael Arlen (1924).
I had a particularly exciting car spot earlier this week:
A Ferrari F40 just went past me on the high street. Had to restrain myself from taking a photograph! Made my day though. @InsideFerrari
