I saw that on another site, a while back. It said somewhere that some of the cars were not insured!? Aparently the premiums are high there...
Well, if they were'nt they will be now!

Wounder

Ferrari's have a certain something about them that no other marque does. Can't put my finger on it but they are just that little bit more special than anything else.

it's really a sad sight, i was there while it happend.
I was working on my car and saw fooking black smoke.
called my friend and up, and we went to have a look, when i came there where 2 guys trying to get so many cars out of the building as possible.
So we screamed and asked him if we could help, hell yeah he said.
Inside it was a complete chaos,all the exlusive cars where locked ,(insurrance issue). And some other guys where busy sorting the keys out
the most cars that where saved, are PT cruisers, Crossfire's, and some jeeps and customers cars.
I drove 3 cars outside 1 crossfire and 2 PT cruisers.
It was pretty exciting, but so sad.

Cossiestu, Ferrari F40's are actually not that rare at all in Ferrari terms...not when you compare it with its predessesor the 288GTO and its replacements the F50 and the Enzo.
