Stuart Leathem

"We didn't come from a rich family, so it was really only boyhood pipe dream."

The Story

When he was a small boy of about 4 years old, Stuart saw his first Ferrari on TV. He has followed Ferrari Formula 1 since childhood and as a boy he always dreamt that one day he would own one. Years later, when he got married, he figured that the Ferrari pipe dream was over and he would never own one.

My View

My wedding day is my proudest day. Not only was I marrying the woman who helped make my dream come true, I also got to go to the wedding in my own Ferrari.

I never thought then that I would end up the Secretary of the Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club. A roll I am happy to say I love because over the last 4 years I have got to meet great people who are equally passionate about their Italian Cars and Bikes.
