He must get loads of cougars after him in that.

Seems legit...

Something sounds familiar...

I wonder why the media keeps gobbling up these bullst stories...

Presumably there was a reason they chose journalism degrees rather than maths

I thought that the headlights looked wrong.

He looks closer to 49 than 19!

Yes, I thought the 430 never came with a manual box?

Thought i recognized that car and reg plate. The pics at the start of that thread are taken in the village where i live. The body was by DNA and underneath it was a Ford cougar. It was better finished and more convincing than most reps but the dimensions and roof height gave it away and that was before you heard the engine start.

The regular F430 came with either a traditional manual or paddle shift semi auto, Scuderia only the latter.

In all fairness to me that's a pretty good replica. I'm not a Ferrari person and wouldn't be able to tell you if it was fake or not until he started the engine.

There are people here who will pretend to hate it for being a replica (the same reaction if you posted a picture of a fake Rolex in the watch forum)...but I agree, this does look pretty good.
