Ah the spoilt brats are back.

Still childish bad taste, still pathetic.

Much like a guitarist smashing up a beautifully made guitar on stage.

How?

Other than using some rubber and the odd stone chip they haven't damaged the cars in anyway

[lockhart flawse]

I don't like the taxtherich plates - whole thing seems a bit tasteless and arrogant (we've got the money to do this to our cars). Also thought the cars sounded a bit weedy.

Sorry no likey and a bit surprised PH gave it a showing.

You're in the market for a half a million pound car and you want an F50. There are three or four to choose from, these two and two others. Which ones would you look at buying??

Look at us everyone! We've got nothing better to do with our time and Daddy's money

Yeah, sounds awful.

[filski666]

hmm, dunno - I liked the earlier videos, and not against the concept of hooning of exotica - but this was a bit boring for me - they need to step it up a bit.

The tug of war was boring, I was almost kind of hopnig the rope would snap to liven it up a bit.....

[WCZ]

they simply aren't destroying them, you can't compare it to smashing a guitar and in terms of devaluing them as a specific example of a car, that seems kind of irrelevant and the owner evidentialy has enough money to be casual about burning through clutches?

[Andy ap]

Remind me not to buy an F50, those things sound bloody awfull.....

I thought TAXTH RICH meant someone had a lithp.

Under smoke cover sneak in and cut the rope during the tug of war: maybe that would make the video more interesting.

RESTECP !!!



(As a certain comedian would say)

[Adz The Rat]

Great video, I loved every minute.

Exactly what I would be doing if I had that sort of money!

If I was in the market for an F50, this video wouldnt put me off buying one of these cars. Its great to see them being used properly.

I can assure you they don't in the flesh

Would also mean they would have to turn the cars back to back, as they're not doing their burnouts in reverse

[MrC986]

Ladeeeeez and gentlemen, in the 'red' corner and in the 'yellow' corner.....an equal scoring round

I'm glad the rope didn't snap by the way otherwise that would have been another Youtube hit!

[DavidWearsPrada]

I think i'm the only one who prefers the F50 to the F40 - didn't really mind the vid until the silly s--- at the end.

[Murcielago_Boy]

I keep saying chaps that F50's sound AMAZING - they need a zorst (which these ones didn't have). Evidence? Here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI8auCUiQZQ

[Cheib]

Enjoyed the first two vids as they were more fun......the tug of war at the end was just a bit OTT.

As others have said the F50 is really starting to look like a great car....it's definitely maturing very well.

I think if I had the money I'd be seriously looking at buying an F50 or several as an investment! With only 350 made vs 4 times that many for the F40 it's much rarer.

I quite enjoyed that. Much better than the cars being tucked up, wrapped in cotton wool.

So a clutch change on an F50

Step 1, support middle of the car
Step 2, unbolt the rear of the car
Step 3, remove rear 1/4 of car
Step 4, replace clutch

Refitting is reverse of removal.




Labour for this work is quoted at around £1100 +VAT
The parts themselves are around £650 +VAT

holy crap! surprised at the cost actually, that strikes me as relatively cheap for ferrari/supercar work

Seems very cheap. My Mk3 mondeo clutch went, and Ford quoted me nearly 1k.

[TREMAiNE]

2 F50's playing tug of war... Probably the most EPIC thing of all time...

[monthefish]

Dear TAXTHERICH,

Any jobs going?

Cheers,

As you know, that one sounds particularly good when you're stood right behind it
