F40 Spotted in Headingley
Discussion
Saturday at about 14:15 an immaculate Ferrari F40 passing through Headingley. Totally stunning, my all time favourite car and only the third time I've ever seen one on the road. Big thumbs up to the owner for actually taking it out and using it. Would have waved had I been in the Elise but I was on the bus. So it would have been a bit weird.

Otley road these days has more potholes than a really potholey thing - full marks for even driving it on that road IMHO.
You're not kidding. I'm sure people think I'm pissed when they follow me into town and witness my pothole avoidance tactics.
Not sure I'm with you on your car choice though. I don't really like the look of the 456, but the F40 is

Very true, why is it I can hammer it around all day on a B road without problem but when I try to drive home on one of the main roads in Leeds if feel like I'm about to snap the suspension and the CD is skipping all over the place.
F40 not a Yorkshire PHeader then?
Often see a Silver 456 parked outside Salvos in Headingley.
F40's - Just love em.

, used to frequent a Horsforth resturant quite a lot. I followed an F40 through Headingley with F40 number plates sometime last summer. The sound and aura was a sight to behold. I followed the car down a back street just to hear the noise reverb off the walls! Turns out the driver was giving passenger rides to friends in his street - sadly I only found that out afterwards otherwise I may have been able to blag a passenger ride!
Hi, I'm new here, but a seasoned Forum-ologist. Drive a 330d. Post on m5board.com and antandpete.co.uk
There's an Enzo quite often in the JCT600 showroom over the other side of town that's owned by somebody local. Much more impressive than an F40 IMHO.
F40: 1,311 made
Enzo: 350 made

And then the rest... apparently there are 412 at least according to some sources
i thought that it was 399 made, then they made a special one for the tsunami disaster fund?
Do those FXX things count as Enzos?
nope, completely different kettle of fish
Nope FXX is a different breed of animal altogether. The official figures say 399 plus the Tsunami appeal car but there are plenty of rumours that there are at least another 12 around. If you add up the numbers of cars supposedly present in each country right now, it is a lot higher than 399!

you got that info from fchat.com right?
i've been looking around there last night, some really interesting info
apparently one set on fire, so they had to build another one to replace it
