Default Well i bought a Ferrari

.....and i cant beleive i been driving a Sierra for so long ...NOTHING AGAINST THEM FOR THE CREW THAT WANT AN EXCUSE TO BE TOSSERS ...I just talking WORLDS apart....after much consideration i went for a 348 but not the norm as pics show ...Fully Decated,sports system,chipped,K&N ELEMENT...only around 320bhp..BUT it sounds like an F1 car Goes about the same as a stage 3 Cossie.

To anyone that disses my choice..its obvious you cant afford one ...Diss away.....i LOVE it...the position,the handling YES makes my Sierra feel shite .....I think the Cossie is being broken ..So yes i most deffo will dissapear from here to new pastures.




The pictures really dont do it any justice.....

Too fucking much!

The design is mind blowing lookin at it......the door fins are not for show!!!!...They take cold air to each raidiator.....the end of the rear windows has an opening for cold air to the filters...the front right hole is for the air con rad....the engine is fully aeroquipped up i take it from std!...Its a work of art Pity its got Italian electrics though

They're all done to look like 355s these days -ask Doug Stirling

I might have missed it but I can't recall seeing a post about the Saph finally running/being mapped etc.?

Is this another ploy to divert the attention of that?

Nice car if you like that sorta thing: I can't afford one and if I could I wouldn't buy one because it's not my cuppa tea although they sound nice!
