Hey guys

I am Mike from Holland (close to Amsterdam and the Zandvoort circuit) and 31 years old. My car is a Rosso Corsa Challenge Stradale with red-black alcantara interior. No radio, no fire extinguisher...nothing. Just the rollbar behind the seats and a stripe on the car smile
Ooh, and a Capristo remote control to manually open the valves in the exhaust for some extra noise!

It's a fantastic car (obviously)! Here's a video to see (and HEAR!) my CS. Also made some exterior shots to really show the car. And ofcourse some drive-by's and tunnelruns wink

Seriously nice Ferrari Mike.

Do you miss the comforts at all? I'm guessing you have something a bit less hardcore for everyday driving?

Lovely car....you sure it's yours though?! You do say in the video descriptio:n

"I've recorded this Ferrari Challenge Stradale a few days ago."

And I can't think of many supercar owners who, on their first post on a forum would explicitly go out of their way to show off their car and highlight that they're 'only 31'. Sorry to fall in to the typical Pistonheads stereotype of being pecimistic, but your post shouts 'please see how cool and successful I am?!'

If he was driving, he obviously wasn't recording, which means that someone else recorded it and probably uploaded it to youtube. Don't be a tt.

I can't login to my other account (am I banned already? wink). Made a new account.

Sorry for the confusion. I've posted my age to introduce myself. Didn't really think 31 years old was that young. Like someone posted, the car is almost 10 years old. On my youtube page I didn't want to post I am the owner for privacy reasons.

My daily car is a Mini S and an Audi R8. The CS is very hardcore, not very practical to use daily smile

I've owned a few other cars, a black '03 996 GT3 and a yellow '95 F355 GTS. Both great cars, still have some regrets trading the F355.

Here are 4 photos of my car.
