Just don't stack it or damage it, your mate's mate is probably looking forward to it more than both of you put together, imagine the disappointment if his toy is not there on his return !!!!

Sorry to say that, but I would tuck it up in a garage and leave it there until he's back, then ask for a drive/spin.

Looks like you got to it a bit late. My friend was over there, and had pics of the car with the brake calipers and other stuff on it. He said that soldiers were taking pretty much everything that said ferrari on it. He told me that he's got that piece that sits on top of the intake manifold.
