Lets me guess I have to choose between a F40 & an old Escort. Thats hard, one is a Supercar the other a cheap Ford from way back when. Its so difficult i cant decide.
Just checked the date is not 1st of April all i can say is Sean become a brain surgeon & operate on your self first. Deffo a wind-up seems to have a few biters as well.

Lets be honest if you could afford a Ł300k F40 you'd have the 16i as well lol...

F40 for me, not that I've ever driven one so I cant really say, but think the looks alone make them worth it.

F40 or RS16i?
A bit like asking whether you'd rather take Holly Willaboobie from behind, or let Susan Boyle curl one out on your chest..

F40 is still the first car I would buy with a semi decent lottery win... Keep your Lambos & Veyron, Zondas etc!

It's a tricky old decision alright

Coming soon in the next installment of the 'what car?' thread....

Ferrari F40 LM edition with centre lock rims & huge AP brakes VS The Ford Escort, Tennis Cabriolet with Momo Arrows & a Peco big bore!

I saw a (mg/rover/Austin?) metro 6r4 on the m1 not to long ago... wouldn't call it my dream car but it sure made my jaw drop as it flew past me spiting flames from the exhaust like the love child of a transformer on steroids made love with Mr beans mini.

I don't suppose this was the F40?

I snapped him on the A12 heading northbound near Chelmsford after I left Mountune a few weeks back. Was being closely followed by his mate.

the point is forgetting the money is worth and what the cars are, to you

i guess RS1600i`s are not a good enough comparison,

if it was a ARE RS500 touring car, maby different posts?

but that wasnt my thaughts on the day

Now that makes it a whole lot harder, but i think the touring car would win




Especially in that colour scheme^

Late last year on the A50 coming out of stoke towards uttoxeter a F40 went past me... and floored it, not only did it sound like the voice of god was kept in the exhaust my 330d was left for dead when I thought it could pull well!

will not forget that for a long time awesome.
