| Red IS the colour of perfection |
MY big fat BIG BIGGGGGG dream is and will always be to own an iconic 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. Only 36 Series I GTO’s were ever manufactured between 1962 and 1963. Probably one of the most highly sought after Ferraris and undoubtedly one of the most expensive cars ever having been sold, for R420 million in 2012, owning one may be a stretch.
Deconstructing My big fat BIG dream, My big fat dream would be to come within arm’s length of one just to admire the hand built car and its imperfections (like the ill fitting door panels or bonnet or misaligned windows) which to 250 GTO enthusiasts, makes this car perfect. These imperfections along with the racing pedigree its performance on the track further fuels the iconic status of the GTO. My big fat BIG dream would be to get behind the steering wheel, savour the space which is the cockpit and proceed to flick the switches on the dashboard and push Start, hearing that purpose built V12 engine roar into life; reverberating in ones ears, which I would imagine is the closest one could ever come to experiencing an aural orgasm. And so, MY big fat BIG dream will continue to be just that, and to be very honest, happily so. Viva la Scuderia Ferrari!
