Only go halves on a car with a mate if the mate is out of the country for most of the year but will still pick up half the bills.
Now then, this will be the same mate that I went halves on previously. We had a 98 SL500 which cost us the princely sum of £5250 a few years back. I drove Mrs Tankman and me all the way to Monaco for the classic GP. If I remember correctly, it got really really hot as we dropped into Monte Carlo from the Route Napoleon. The city was closed off for practice so the diversions were causing severe jams. Whilst stationary, I closed the roof, engaged the air con on full power and we were chilling nicely as we glided past a broken down Ferrari.
:rofl:

:?
I believe it was a 365 Daytona. A completely different animal to the 550 we are looking at. Anyway, I think I did the best part of 3500 miles in it over 18 months or so for high days and holidays.
My mate did 123 miles in it. He has 4 kids and a job in the city which means busy weekends and commuting on the train only. He doesn't have to be out of the country much.
