Ask anybody who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s what their
dream car was back then, and a
majority will likely say the Ferrari
Testarossa. I grew up in that era and I’m not ashamed to admit that
I’d have the same answer. Back then, posters of the Testarossa dominated
the walls in my bedroom and I can even remember asking my parents to buy all
the magazines that featured it in their respective covers. That’s how much I
adored the Testarossa and to this day, whenever I see one, I still get that
same dreamy look that I had when I was a child.
This films perfectly captures the emotions I had back
when I was a kid. The mere mention of the Ferrari Testarossa would immediately
put my imagination into overdrive. In my head, I owned one and drove it
everywhere. Suffice to say, the Testarossa is the one car that had the biggest
influence in me being so passionate about this industry.
A quarter of a century may have passed, but my love and
admiration for that supercar will
never go away. Yep, the boy you see in this video was me some 25 odd years ago,
right down to the Ferrari sheets
and the Testarossa poster taped on my wall.
