I have the opportunity to take on a job driving a private owner's stable of cars. I'm a little intimidated as I have never driven some of them. Can you give me any advice so I don't appear as though I don't know what I'm doing?

some of the cars:
Ferrari 355GTS and Modena360
Porsche Twin Turbo and Turbo S

thanks in advance for any advice

Rule No. 1 - When he hands you the keys, don't go "Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaawwwwwww!" and jump up and down.

Duh, don't even tremble!

When returning the keys, don't say "Ya know, there's a little vibration above 180..."

or "I think that will buff right out . . . "

or "Does it always smoke like that @ 9000?"

only a bit faster and better handling. The adrenaline rush lasts for a few minutes when first behind the wheel of any of them, but you'll soon get used to it.

Be careful of the Turbo S, though. That can be a scary bastard once the boost is up. And, in all of them, being mid or rear-engined, handling is a bit weird at the limit and can easily catch a novice off-guard and turn him around a few times.

Concerning the Ferraris, in case they're F1 gearboxed, I'll give you the starting procedure so you don't look like a complete n00b.

Get in the car, turn the key to the on position, step on the brake, pull both gearshift paddles toward you to engage neutral, press the immobiliser button on the remote, then start the car. It's the only way to start an F1-boxed Ferrari.
