My fave rarri's barring F40.

Saw two on Wednesday around Bournemouth area.

Seen a couple at events ive featured.

Awesome cars, but I always loved the 360 so its to be expected.

And i really dont normally like "supercars"

Abzrs, I love F50's but that is a BAD picture! so here is a better one. Enzo and F40 are far more aggressive looking in my opinion as well

heres some better ones...





Racing one

There's a guy round here who parks one in my local high street for coffee every morning.

Quite simply, one of the most gorgeous cars I've ever seen.

That one above with a bodykit actually looks harder

By the way, WTF are "Zone 1" wheels.............. unless it refers to central london?

Was at Brands Hatch last Thursday on a track day and saw a Grey F430 with a V8 private reg. Brakes can't be that good as it went straight on at Druids and into the gravel. Scored calipers where gravel was trapped between the wheel spokes and caliper on both sides, gravel rash on the bodywork and rims and a number of nasty stonechips!!
Fair play to the guy - he was rescued from the gravel, returned to the pits and was back out again on the circuit for the rest of the day.
Car sounded awesome when it was on full chat.

I like all Ferraris - they are my favourite sports car manufacturer. I like the F430 a lot, but the F40 definately still reigns as the hardest looking one IMO!

If and when I could afford one (and it would be the cheaper end of the scale at that!), I would choose the F355 which is quite handy as it's my favourite one (well pending a drive of one next month at Thruxton !)

Only my opinions of course

Not to sure about the kit on the outside of the red F430, but I prefer the black / grey alcantara type interior to the usual combo with biscuit look leather.

the problem with ferraris are people buy them for the status symbol and not for "the car" if you know what i mean!!!
