I NEED to win the Euromillions this Friday...

This poster was the last thing I saw before I went to sleep every night as a boy. I dare say seeing that will be a flashback for a few others too.

Easy 10 on the PH meter thingy.

Why do you get fire out the exhaust? Is this something modern Cats prevent?

Definately Ferrari's finest hour

I went in one at Dads Day Out at Dunsfold in 2010 and it didn't disappoint

Gareth Lloyd's? Remember him bringing it to Donington just after Xmas one year - looked fantastic

My favourite Ferrari too

I was about to say congrats to the person who put it together for not putting any guff music over an amazing sound track that is the F40... and then the guff music kicked in...

Still, thers worse ways of spending 4 mins online..

The definitive Ferrari, and arguably car. Shame about the rubbish they have built since and what Ferrari has become.

I'm not the sort to go weak at the knees at the sight of a Supercar........... but these do give me a bit of a wobble

Definately Ferrari's finest hour and the more technological it's successors become the greater the F40 will remain

I went in one at Dads Day Out at Dunsfold in 2010 and it didn't disappoint in fact it was a talking point for days

I have to confess to a bit of F40 stalking though

Two of my dream cars right there..........

Snap! Was going to say that but noticed your comment! :haha:

[Rumblestripe]

A marvelous car and proof of what is wrong with every subsequent Ferrari can be found by looking at the interior. By any aesthetically driven measure it's horrible. And THAT is why it is so great.

No, mine actually (assuming you mean the F40). I think that photo was taken when it had to be parked up due to a faulty alternator. A quick trip to Halfords for a couple of batteries and got it going for a few more laps

Ah, I knew it was a different reg to Gareth's - I thought he might have got a p-ride because of the Escort connection and that was a different event in the photo.

Either way, lovely car

[Chicane-UK]

I think it has to be one of my favourite ever Ferrari's.. lovely!

[Guvernator]

One of the most epic cars of all time IMO and definately in my euromillions must own list. I can't believe a couple of posters have mentioned a 458 in the same breath as this legend. Yes the 458 is very competent and obviously a very good car but IMO it's trying way too hard with it's chintsy looks, LED running lights and new money chasing styling. The 458 wishes it was as effortlessly cool as the F40, one of the ultimate expressions of function over form and purety of purpose vs overengineering, in fact the antithesis of the 458.

Snap!! and the model car!! Years ago Clarkson did a video where he raced an F40 against a Jordan F1 car and the car had the same reg number, anyone know the significance of this plate???
