I was very lucky to get a job in 2007 with the local JCB dealer selling compact equipment, it was like a junior sales role. I was made redundant in 08. The JCB Training and systems/process's carried me though. Using the same process's in the fairly newly formed business that was part of a larger group / holding company got me noticed. I grew the company from 500k loses to profit and ultimately a year after i left they folded (losses returned) So i knew the field i was in, diggers. So many times we underwrote machines to dealers i thought about becoming a middle man for it. Why cant i sell plant for people for more than trade. in 2013 when i started the pound was weak (like now) and export was flat out. so i did very well as the pound rose in 2015 life got tougher and that's when i decided to invest in my own. I really was just flipping machines. Earning a few hundred each one. I had enough of working for people I was very poorly with stress back then. 18 people reporting to you, a board to report to, manufactures breathing heavy for more sales. I sat in some meetings and just wanted to cry. I diddnt have the experience or answers to some very senior people in big organisations, I did what i could which was still successful but the groups idea of taking on lots of manufactures to sell was a big downfall, not just for me but also for the business we wasn't geared up for it all.

Car looks superb mate, you should be and know you are over the moon with it, am sure as you drive it more you will discover how truly special a car they feel and how they are entertaining at legal speeds but also very capable at high speeds too.
The corrosion is pretty odd, never seen that my only guess is maybe it had a bad stone chip, scratch in that area and water got under the paint from a poor repair job and shocked Ferrari did not see that but am sure they will have it sorted for you prompt.
Great story that on your progression and proof hard work and dedication pays off, especially if you spot and pounce on an opportunity.
When you put it in the garage make sure the mirrors are folded in because that will be your issue especially if the inne garage mechanism takes up some of the opening at the height where your mirrors are at. That was why I had to get the garage door changed at this property.
I now have a second property which has a double garage and the door openings are larger but even mirrors out the doors are wide enough but the mechanism takes some of opening up which makes it tighter, so just watch out for that.
Enjoy you've made a great choice and the longer I have mine the more I am decided to just keep it forever.
