    People get away with a lot of things.

    The ex-Niki Lauda GTO, I was the driver that day, fantastic example, feels a bit more potent than the one I owned, and the other dozen or so I have driven.

    Once upon a time these cars were cheap so people took liberties with them.

    We were invited to inspect it carefully a month ago and generally we liked what we saw.

    I have a completely different ownership experience.

    I find you don't have to be an F1 driver to use the GTO as intended, you simply have to be a competent driver and I find driving one very easy in all conditions, naturally on-the-boost you have to be judicious.

    In fact you can use it in the real world around town off-the-boost which is why you see so many images of them being driven in cities, and for a Supercar I found it to have great visibility all around which made the driving experience inviting.

    Here's an image of mine I took on a day when I spent @ 4 inspired hours behind the wheel.

    This might be a bit of a daft question, but what is storage like on the GTO? Say you wanted to go for a weekend trip, enough space for a few bags? Or is it truly a point a to point a car?

    The contents of the fitted luggage are about all you have space for.

    Unfortunally I can't remember where I took it.

    Unfortunally this particular pic was posted in low res on the author's FB page. But you'll find tons of other cool 288 GTO pics here

    Marcel, thank you, but you already posted that: please look here below.

    I would have been nice to spend a word also about the luggage: as suppose you are fond also about the luggage, as I was told you purchased a copy of my "Ferrari by Schedoni" book. Did you like it?

    Ciao

    I rewrite here the last line of my post here above, as it was badly written, sorry.

    ------------
    I would have appreciated a word (from you) also about the luggage and not only a repost about the GTO 56645: I think you are fond also about the luggage as I was told you purchased a copy of my last book "Ferrari by Schedoni" and I was wondering if you liked it.

    Thank you very much.

    ciao
