Hehe it seems everyone was playing with F40s around Calais.

Saw the 'ISH' F40 in a pub in Arnage. It pulled in having problems & unfortunately left an hour or so later chucking out large amounts of smoke.

Georgeous car, although suspect the young(ish) driver/owner didn't drive it home.

I had the great pleasure of following the F40 and its team of other Porsche and Ferrari all the way back up the M20, M25 & M11 which of course includes the Dartford Tunnel

Coming through the toll booth a white van man decided to baulk both of us, oh joy!

Before the Tunnel I though the 993 with Fabspeed was about as loud as you can get, how wrong I was. The F40 driver popped it out of gear prodded the throttle put it back into gear and bang…………….Flames, utterly totally fantastic

To me the most super of all super cars and makes something like the Ford Gt seem slightly lame by comparison

The Brutish F40 was in Arnage on Thursday morning at breakfast, it looked fantastic. I think he had a couple of problems restarting it.

I don't think I'd ever seen an F40 before. I'm pretty sure I saw at least three difference ones. Saw two parked up at Indy on Friday morning.

I noticed that on one of them, you couldn't see the weave of the carbon through the bonnet. Replacement bonnet perhaps?

We got passed by an F40 just north of Sees on Sunday morning, it sounded superb, popping and banging on the overrun, what a lovely piece of machinery.

it was on the airtrack campsite near me, when i went to admire it, he had a french AA representative looking at it. also the lens cover on the nearside front headlamp was missing.
