Was such an experience. Felt like I was about 8 years old again!

I can't hear the audio as I'm watching at work, but your face in the first minute looks just the same as when you opened that present!

Great video Jonty, I love the excitement.

Ive only had a pootle round a yard in one, wasn't allowed to take it up the road. Should have just done it, I expect my chance has gone now.

Thanks for that, great video. I like the Enzo in the background as well!

[Brum_Brum]

Great vid! , well done - made me smile

[carreauchompeur]

Loved that video, great to see such passion. I never really 'got' the Ferrari thing until I visited Modena with mates a few years ago. There was an F40 nonchalantly parked in the garage opposite our hotel!

I paid £60 or so to take an F430 out for a spin. Best money I've ever spent, it was simply incredible, just unlike anything else I've been in or driven. The theatre and noise of it!

You lucky sod! Good vid as well

The car was great but your reaction and joy being handed the keys, in dreamy disbelief, was wonderful.

Top draw work, sir.

Lovely vid, I was grinning from ear to ear when the owner handed you the key!

"Belt up, Jonty."

Your video was tweeted out by the Fezza PR account. Having had a passenger ride in an F40 I can't even begin to imagine how it felt to be handed the keys- great to see it lived up to your expectations!

The owner is an absolute legend! It took him over 2 years to find the best F40 he possibly could, then after owning it a few months lets me drive it.

The other thing is that despite it being low mileage he plans to still use it!

I think I recognise him cracking video, loved it.

Superb. Lovely to see a real enthusiast getting a go in a dream machine like that!

[marcusgrant]

Great video, I'm sure the owner was happy to see the car bring so much joy!

[castex]

Cracking vid, Jonteh!

I felt the same when I sat in one (but never got to drive it).

What a great video, thanks very much for posting. I love your reaction at 10:05 onwards .

[Shakermaker]

What a brilliant video. You lucky chap, well done on landing yourself that gig!

Amazing cars, I'd love one, of course.

Jonty when the turbos kicked in

Ha ha!! Damn right! That's exactly how it felt! Can see why a lot of them have been crashed!

[anonymous-user]

Great video, as others have said, it's always great to see genuine, real enthusiasm and excitement! Love the F40, but for me, I'd only get that from a 288 GTO (which makes me a little older than you I guess!).

Fantastic vid.

[RizzoTheRat]

Love the look on your face when he handed you they keys

Absolutely.

I would be a giggly mess if I had been given the keys to a F40!
