Handed the keys to an F40

[J4CKO]

Cool, not really into Ferraris as a rule but the F40 I make an exception for, even though bits of it look like a shonky kit car, that is part of its allure.

Brilliant Vid, Great to see a real enthusiast living his dream. I must admit I also have a Ferrari jacket, Watch, Cap and Aftershave.

And I also bought a 355 when I couldn't afford it really, I have never even seen an F40 in the flesh sadly but seeing your joy actually made my room a tad dusty so thank you for sharing it.

Great car and what a nice video!

Good on the owner and glad you had a good time!

Oh wow, I bet your face ached from grinning so much.

Great video, I loved the start and a virtual beer to the very generous owner for making that possible.

I work in Central London in a security role, a few years ago we had to take the client to visit a house in Mayfair. Parked outside was a F40 however, we were under strict instructions NOT to leave our vehicle.

So, ended up parked behind the bloody thing for 30 minutes and I couldn't have a look, in fact I think I'd have licked the thing. When we left we followed it onto Park Lane and even at slow speed the noise was amazing.

Very envious of you and thanks for posting the video.

Top work and nicely done you lucky son of a gun! Also my ultimate dream car, watching you put the hammer down made me smile massively as I could sense the rush you got from feeling that power build!

It's one of those cars that makes me think, where did I go wrong in life haha

Great video. And at 6:04, lifting the back by yourself, holding it up with one hand while trying to slot the support, you have a my total respect! That thing is no lightweight and ease of use of the support was definitely not a design priority.

Brilliant stuff, as others have said that's exactly how I feel about the F40 too. Great to see your genuine excitement meeting your hero

Fantastic video!!!

Brilliant video. It was great to watch. You're face when handed the keys, you could see how much it meant to you.

(How the hell has it got 4 dislikes ffs)

Not sure why this was moved from GG, it's pretty appealing to all of PH IMO.

I watched this at work today on my lunch break and it had me grinning from ear to ear. Great photography work too, compliments to the team. You have a new subscriber.

Ha! It's ok, it's been an on going joke about my fairly strong Rotherham accent!

However, the term cockwomble is both extremely funny and rather befitting to andrew!! Ha ha.

Your video was tweeted out by the Fezza PR account.

I know! That for me has made the whole thing even more special. The fact Ferrari themselves have seen it!

Great video truly living the dream congrats !


Just reading the comments on You Tube I presume this guy knows from experience with his own F40

"You touching the intercoolers would have bent the fins, the owner should have knocked you out "
