In my stage 2 Saph. WOW! Awsome machine Was cruising along the dual carriage way in outside lane at about 80 when I looked in rear view mirror to see a wide as u like F40 slowly gaining on me. Waited till he was quite close pulled to inside lane, dropped into 4th and nailed it.....................He left me like I was going backwards spitting blue flames at me as he disappeared! Caught him up further down the road pulled alongside gave the passenger a nod (was left hand drive) and he laughed and gave me the thumbs up. Got to the end of the road, swapped lanes so drivers side next to drivers side and both nailed it onto a round about side by side about 3 feet apart! Driver looked across laughing at me, gave me a nod and fooked off round the round about as I went straight on! Was a proper cool experience
Always been one of me favourite cars, even more so now!

Looked mental
Sounded mental
Went not bad too, LOL

 

fair play to him for giving it some

 

You dont have a sapphire do you? i thought it was a transit turbo!

did the number plate have 'Jon' in it? could be the one that comes past mine every now and again!
was working on the fiesta at weekend and it came past bout 5 times! nailed it every time! sounded mental too!!

 

brilliant

there is nothing like the wail of a ferrari, the first time I drove one I couldnt believe the scream that came off it awesome

 

i agree with u there mate, my friend has a 355, fookin beautiful

 

Not sure. Was too much in awe to notice the plate! Dont think it was a private plate or anything. Yeh this sounded mad. Could still hear it like it was right next to me when he was 35-40 metres in front and disappearing fast!

Respect to him for giving it some!

 

Sounded bit like an F1 kind of sound only better!!

 

I tried baiting one up on the M25 when we were going to ND @ Donno and they guy didnt even bother biting He would of left my sorry arse for dead, but like you I just wanted to see it go They sound awesome when the loud pedals been pressed

 

cool as mate

 

i never seen an f40 on the road,, but i bet its looks great seeing one

 

cool at least he had a play

 

Just had an email from the owner of the F40 confirming the events - can you guess who it was - I'll give you a clue - I've been out in the car round the Ring....

 

LOL his cossie aint bad either

 

HEHE, I'm glad you liked it

I was the passenger... I think my comment was 'Flame Grilled Cosworth' LOL - Nice to meet you. Good job you didn't come across us earlier on our private test track

 

I'm guessing it was Gareth Lloyd?

 

excellent - i saw one in slough a few months back and it truly sounded mental.

 

I think the new Tubi exhaust is run in nicely now

 

It's only bedded in when it has hit more than 211mph .

 

I wouldn't know... cuz that's naughty

 

I love F40's!! Get to see quite a few at work.

Sound well nice with Tubi's on!

 

Ive got some vids of a two F40's on a rolling road.

Anyone on MSN and can host them? Proper flame spitting mental!!

 

One of my neighbours had an F40. Actually he had 40 odd Ferrari's.

Every Sunday we could sit in the village and watch Ferrari's of all different types and ages driving past. Awesome sight

 

Your famous! http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sho...36#post3204736

 

so i take it this was the ferrari good effort

 

F40's rule best Ferrari IMO

Seen when when i was coming home from Central day last year on back of a trailer! i was just bobing down the road looked fookin awsome

 

Ferrari's are cool!!!
Unless you have to sell parts for the fookin things, worse than Ford parts departments...

 

Nice one Awsome car mate
My old Ford crate started miss firing at around 130 but you were about 3 miles in front by then anyway!
I was on my way up to the North Staffs RS Owners meeting @ The Rookery Wood in Crewe.
( feel free to come up to the next meeting on the 1st Tuesday of the month and take me for a spin!! LOL)
Couldnt believe it when I saw you coming up behind me. Exhausts sound amazing and the blue flames are a nice touch!!
What sort of power is it running then?

 

Cool
But apparently Cosworth drivers are "dorks" in the same category as Corsa drivers

Bout time some fairy drivers had a go, jeusus I went after one in my XR3i and he pulled over at 115mph with me going

"NAIL IT YOU PANZY!!!!"

Oh well.

Private test track of course

 

Think I have just heard the F40 go past Castle whilst waiting for a taxi after a few beers and football!

 

I love F40's... For me that's the best ferrari..

Good one mate

 

LOL, That's quite possible actually

 

F40s are fucking ace, my fave purely as they turbo, and i love turbo anything for some reason.

See tons of rarris round here, 355s and 360s every bloody day, even seen a F50 twice here, but only ever a F40 once on the road.

 

RSBen, RE: Power - I think it's around 510BHP, TUBI Exhaust and 1100Kgs (without my fat gut in it).

I drive an M3 CSL day-to-day, and it's fuckin ruined now by that F40 - it just seems so quiet and crap now (it's not, but relatively!) LOL

 

I know what you mean mate. Even after just being around it the other night my Cossie felt like a right old rattley, slow, boring shed! LOL.

 

I have seen Gareth out and about round Stoke a few times but never had chance for a play

Maybe when my Escort is ready

 

F40 GTE LM are the daddies

My all time fav car

 

 

Saw and F40 pulled by the cops (POLICE VOLVO) last night just near Manchester airport, number plate was F40 ***

Looked awesome!!

 

Living in Stoke, I'd say thats more a statement on the usual Festival Park Muppet Show that goes on most nights, fine cars still attract cretins to drive them (I know mine does! ) - I don't think the dig was aimed at the cars, more, some of the drivers......

And, ok, so your cossie got beaten, but I still think the cosworth is the better day to day car, sits 4 in comfort and was obviously more than upto prompting the F40 driver to have a play....... (He'd have driven past me laughing, not booting it.... ) Having discovered what (I think) the F40 driver does for a living, I've concluded I'm in the wrong job!
