And they aren't making new cars like that again.
I mean, your 456 is an example of that in many ways.
I have to say that we'll come to this maybe a little bit later on as well.
We've done our emergency podcast on the famous blue electric car, but certainly Neil's comment in that podcast that FF and Lusso owners would be sitting pretty is probably very relevant.
I suspect there's less fear in the Puru Sangwe community this morning as well.
I would agree as well.
So no, I think you're right, Manish.
I think this is interesting for all the points that Neil made.
I think it's a window into the way that people are perceived or feel they're perceived in new cars, the latest car.
For a long time,
It was very, very rare that you found an enthusiast that wasn't seduced by being seen in the latest thing.
If you could afford the latest GT3 or F12, whatever, I think you'd get them.
And even if you might have preferred driving the previous one.
You liked the fact that you had the latest one and you rolled with it because it had CarPlay or whatever else.
It took a brave enthusiast to say, you know what, I'm going to ditch my 991 GT3 because I prefer the 997.
Most people wanted to be in the latest thing.
I think that's what's changed now is I think a lot of people will rock up somewhere in a car that's three or four years old because they prefer driving it.
And they don't give a monkey's whether people don't think they've got the latest, greatest thing that's just come out.
So in some respects, in the way that people have an inner confidence, they allow to be seen in public.
I think it's quite a good thing that I have always sort of been that way.
