First one I have seen (Black), does look alot like the Z06 C6 Vette from rear 3/4's though (apart from two rear lights instead of 4).

Pity it was going into town instead of out - guy was going a bit but not proper fast - traffic not right for it.

Would have been interesting to see how it rolled on over 90.

TC helped it up the Oxshott up ramp, (slippery as hell), had to wait till all straight b4 nailing it and trying to catch it, had a good head start and then into traffic - bugger.

Possibly Mr Lampard going home after training to clear up all his rubbish no doubt.

Lots of nice cars around Oxshott,
I've got a picture of the Total petrol station with my Lambo, Red Enzo, Black SLR and Red 575 all randomly there

The St George's Hill set keep me in business.
I remember once visiting one of them to conclude some paperwork.
I crawled back home afterwards, feeling like the poor relation.
This particular guy had five Ferraris, as well as some valuable classics as well.
The garages were built to a more luxurious standard than most of our houses.

Hi J
No, I am not an Essex boy. Portsmouth born and bred.
That's not to say that I never visited Hornchurch.
I am fairly sure that I visited Romford, Colchester and East Anglia, when I had the car.

And I remember seeing it (in the Chigwell/Loughton area) MANY years ago on a 911 and then a year or so later on a (then new) silver SL500 (or the other way round, cant remember now )

Didn't Stefan Eriksson, the guy who crahed the enzo in malibu and also the owner of gizmondo, live in St George's Hill. I remember seing a picture on here as well of his two enzo a red and a black one outside apetrol station in Egham.

Yes he did
and I'm not sure how he managed because each time I've visited the estate my car hits one of the speed bumps

The estate is also home to what I think is the highest millage Enzo

Macari's had a VERY mean looking 599 in white today with black wheels on German (non export) plates, when I walked past this evening. Looked very very tough.

As a hint it's the one that drove round the world on the Gumball
Previously I think the highest millage was the one in Utah which was destroyed

Just seen my first 599 in devon on trade plates, in black, sounded awsome, looked....ok, i really liked the pictures i dad seen of the car, i reckon it is very good looking car, but not stunning, i had just been looking at a mint 275GTB that really was stunning, so that proubably dulled it a bit, but the sound, so sweet.

Anyway some lucky person is getting a new 599 in black, lucky person.

looks fun.
