Today (Sat 24th November) I saw a F40 on the A228. It went past me on the A288 near Kings Hill. Being driven quite gently by the way, at about 2.30-3ish.
Apart from when I worked at Maranello this is the first time I have ever seen one being driven on the road.

Anyone here????


At the time I was in the passenger seat of a Golf estate whilst out on test drive. I did sell it by the waybiggrin

So you live in Kings Hill and drive 348? Brilliant.

If you fancy going for a blast with another fast car for company, drop me a line.

You know, Ive seen more supercars that are based in Kings Hill here on PH, than Ive seen in driving around!

Yes, I've got a F348 Spider Rosso Crema. Happy to go for a blast another weekend no prob smile Until a few months ago I also had a red Lotus Elise.

There used to be a lot of footballers here (Charlton) but now most have gone, and a few had 360/430. A friend in the next street had a 430 and a Gallardo, but has now just the 430. There's also a few Astons about, and a selection of Lotus.

I presume you're at Kings Hill too?

My forum radar ears picked up on the words "Kings Hill" and "going for a blast".

I am based in Aylesford and wouldn`t want to gate crash any trip out you organize but if you don`t mind a Porsche 911 or possibly a Scooby Impreza paperbag tagging along I would be up for a safe & sensible blast in the New Year. smile

No Problem. Keep you eyes peeled in the Kent and Essex forums, as their tends to be a couple organized there. I Managed quite a good one(if i do say so myself) a couple of weeks ago. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I've seen an F40 near there too, think its Andy74B.

Might be wrong though.

I've seen that arouns a few times too. Was once behind it in traffic through Headingley and the sound was cloud9. I asked around and it turned out the guy was giving passenger rides to his son's friends at a birthday party that day. I wonder if I'd have been a little bit too old to attend a little kid's party just for a passenger ride thumbup
