Nice! Yesterday, I saw a TR7 that had been 'converted' to look just like an F40... I had to stop and look at it for ages before I realised it was a fake! No pic though, didn't have my camera with me  |

Saw a Lamborghini Countach at a car show recentley and I still don't know if it was real or not, it even had lamborgini owners club stickers on it but the tax disc (which shows the engine capacity in Ireland) said 3900cc presumably Rover V8 . If only I could have heard it running....

There was a Ferrari 330 P3 sat in the paddock at Brands Hatch a few years ago,.. I was in full on Alfisti mode at the time so was fully genned up on Italian cars, one of the guys I was with was a total Ferrari nut. Neither of us could tell if it was original or not.

I think ferrari's are a bit over rated i've never seen one go particulaly well at a drag strip infack they seem to only manage around high 12's at best and thats for the latest 550 or what ever thier called ;D

I'm not a fan of modern Ferraris, I saw one in town the other day, the guy revved it to show off but it just sounded like 12 scooters being ragged at once.
Not impressed

Never liked Ferraris myself, too much of a stereotypical petrolheads dream, and besides, all those stories about them being the perfect car are a load of rubbish. Ferraris overheat and are a curse word to fix, Lamborghinis are a curse word to get in to and are uncomfortable on a long trip, and Porsches leak oil all the time, even the new ones, going by what people who have actually owned these cars have told me! Give me a Trabant over a big sports car any day, and I'm really not joking or exaggerating!
