Who was the driver of your car?

Christian Fittipaldi was the previous careful owner.

Wow thanks mate, Morobidelli was the other drivers name listed. Should do some work today but a little distracted

It would be great to keep the thread posted about how it proceeds and where/when you manage to use it.

Absolutely this.

only painted to look like a Ferrari temporarily, but seems rude to change it back

Why?

It's not a Ferrari so it seems strange to be painted like one. The original livery was unique too so might as well go for originality.

2 seconds off Schumachers pace I may have to reconsider my purchase and get something a bit quicker, don't want to be embarrassed.

Have another: Quite an escalation!

I can just imagine the conversation with SWMBO if I had returned home with that after going out to buy a Clio!

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced insurer for Audi S-stuff? Currently about twice the money of anything else.

I use Classicline for mine (£490 renewal price for S4 B6 cab)

RE the Arrows F1. I have a friend who had one of those F1-experience drives say 12-13 years ago at Anderstorp in Sweden, and one of the featured cars were a Jordan, and a 1994 Arrows driven by Christian Fittipaldi, I have a picture somewhere of me sitting in it

Fantastic escalation tho, from a Clio 172 to an Arrows F1, awesome

This weekend I have mainly been.... well I went out to buy a track day car so I didn't wreck the M. Things escalated quickly.

Now the happy owner of a DFR Engined Arrows that was painted last month for a Ferrari Advertisment in Switzerland. Roll on the summer!



Clearly nose cone is removed for transportation, not damaged, yet....


It fits! Just, there is an inch either side of the rear wheels, and it grounds out on the lip of the door but its in.

You, sir, are awesome.

Barchetta boy's campervan purchase is also commendable.

Yes its an Arrows 1994 F1 car, with a 510hp Cosworth DFR V8 in it. (only painted to look like a Ferrari temporarily, but seems rude to change it back)

No experience yet, but have a good teacher and an empty track to play with next month. I will spin, he assures me. But start off by doing just one thing at a time, brake, turn, power. And all should be well.
I mean what could possibly go wrong?
It virtually got itself off the trailer!! Amazed at how light these things are, six of us lifted it from this point onwards.

Must be the season for it. This is a 2000 BAR Honda which my friend bought. No engine so it only took two of us to lift it off the trailer and rotate it into the workshop (with doors too narrow for an F1 car)

Button or Barichello?
