IIRC that was meant to be catastrophically bad to drive, and will probably fetch a stupid sum of money anyway.

About a quarter of a million for an F40 at the moment I believe.

And although an F40 is possibly the best Ferrari ever made, try getting a girl into the cabin with bucket seats, no carpet, harnesses etc

REALLY REALLY pleased with it!!!! HUGE THANKS TO STU!!!!!!

I did actually like the first dash he did for me with the VDO gauges... But it all ended up looking a bit 'Mission control' after I started sticking more and more gadgets on it! and although I prefer the look of anlaouge gauges, You just can't look at them on track in a car as open and fast and mental as this. Soooo says you lost oil pressure, by the time you looked at the gauage it would be too late.

Sean Bicknell and Stu both have AIM dashs and although I don't like Digi layout they explained that if you set the alarms properly and very high. Then you know that if you see a red Red light. You HAVE to stop as its BAD! So I can explain that to anyone that drives it

also the AIM dash will link with my new AIM Smarty Cam!!!! only trouble was I needed a new ECU to run it

So MASSIVE THANKS AGAIN TO STU!!!!!!!

LEGEND!

can't wait to use it!
