Here we go. I’ve owned supercars in the past, a Ferrari 355, the old 5-litre Gallardo Spyder and a Ford GT. But, and this will bring a smile to the Guardianistas’ endlessly thin lips, they really don’t work on a day-to-day basis. You quickly grow tired of being looked at when you are stationary. You can’t see what’s coming at oblique junctions. Your hands are always dirty from lifting the bonnet, under which there’s a boot that’s never quite big enough for the things you’ve bought. And while the noise is sublime when you are in the mood, it is annoying when you are not.
Running a supercar as your day-to-day transport is like hacking out on Desert Orchid or moving to one of those all-glass modern houses or being married to Jordan or living entirely on haute cuisine. They aren’t really designed for real life. They’re designed for dreaming
