500 with F40
Couple of nice pics of my car and other traffic on the way to Le Mans this year..
Roll on next year, I'm using my Firenza and my mate is using my Sierra.

The F40 another car thats value has gone nuts
for years they were around 200k, then sat at 250k for awhile, then over night doubled to 500k, and in the last couple of years people are asking 750k.
will soon be a million pound car!

Trevor Reeves (autocross champ) was chucked the keys of an F40 at the ring, it was spitting flames and spinning up the rears just from the boost on down changes.
There is a chap who regularly takes one on RMA track days. Nice bloke too

If you like F40s have a look at the article in the new EVO mag. One of the writers drives one back through the Alps to save the owner making the trip.
An RS500 in convoy would have made an even better article
Nailed it there Martin - too many people trying to run them on pennies and not doing the basic stuff. A local high end car specialist says people will come in with an old 911 and not flinch at 3k of maintenance but not want to spend £300 on maintaining the same performance in an old Sierra. A lot comes down to the owners mindset in his opinion. He looks after a 500 for a guy who's well off and has Ferraris/Porsches and says it's way more reliable than some of the similar age Italian stuff.

Back in 90s a mate of mine had a Sapphire 2wd and in the early hours 1 day on his way to catch a boat to France he came across an xj220 on the motorway going the same way. He nailed it past him 3 or 4 times to try and get him to give it some. When he finally did my mate never caught sight of him again.
