Still not sure if I like these or not. Whilst it is great to see cars like this in use, the use they are put to in these videos is closer to abuse in my view than use.
The consequence of that tow rope snapping would have been very expensive.
They do it purely so that people like you get all flustered about it.The consequence of that tow rope snapping would have been very expensive.
It's clearly a recipe that works.

Its great to see them being used properly.
I wonder how much time Ferrari are spending checking the ability of the laFerrari to reverse whilst a tow hook in the front mounting is connected to something immovable? Must be high up the list of intended uses which the cars are designed for!4everblue said:
You're in the market for a half a million pound car and you want an F50. There are three or four to choose from, these two and two others. Which ones would you look at buying??
How would you know?The registration numbers are concealed, and unless you can see through bodywork, so are the vin numbers.
High value car sales like this are more often that not carried out through a specialist car dealer, agent or broker, who would no doubt be discreet about who the previous or current owner was.
As long as the car was in the condition you wanted, and had the service history/paperwork you desired, you would buy it and be none the wiser as to it's driving history.

I don't like the taxtherich plates - whole thing seems a bit tasteless and arrogant (we've got the money to do this to our cars). Also thought the cars sounded a bit weedy.
Sorry no likey and a bit surprised PH gave it a showing.
Dear Lockhart,Sorry no likey and a bit surprised PH gave it a showing.
We are absolutely devastated that you think this.

That depends on whether I wanted to just polish it or drive it (it would be driving for me)Davey S2 said:
How?
Other than using some rubber and the odd stone chip they haven't damaged the cars in anyway

I'd have no problem having either of them assuming they had been properly serviced. Cars that are regulary exercised tend to be more reliably than garage queens.

I keep saying chaps that F50's sound AMAZING - they need a zorst (which these ones didn't have). Evidence? Here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI8auCUiQZQ
Joe Macari took me a run in an F50 with straight through pipes best noise ever.............
Great video, yes it was a bit cheesey, they could have had bigger balls and the rope thing was silly but before that I was bored looking through the internet and this was an interesting bit of fun!!
'Tax the rich' again a silly name but now a brand in a way and thats how they get followers, basic sense that they would put the name somewhere, dont see why people are so against fun and a bit of showing off, makes life more fun and interesting! Im also sure theyre not doing it just for youtube hits either as they dont seem to need the money, more of 'this is how we have fun with our toys sort of thing!'

Bit infantile if you ask me...
Proper cool is running an F50 as a daily for a year, filling it up at Morrisons and not washing it once...
OR, actually giving it a proper workout - trackday, hillclimb, club racing???
Great great car as most have said - a shame no one noticed when it was launched.
Anyway..... NEXT!

I quite enjoyed that. Much better than the cars being tucked up, wrapped in cotton wool.
So a clutch change on an F50
Step 1, support middle of the car
Step 2, unbolt the rear of the car
Step 3, remove rear 1/4 of car
Step 4, replace clutch
Refitting is reverse of removal.
Labour for this work is quoted at around £1100 +VAT
The parts themselves are around £650 +VAT
