My friend works at a Mr.Clutch and he just sent me a picture of their next customer's car which just pulled in.

I can't work out if this is the real thing or not.

If its real, what the actual fk!

Looks pretty real to me. Probably just going in for an MOT.

Real or not, I hope that doesn't end the same way as many trips to a certain clutch specialist seem to.

I bet Ferrari would charge a hell of a lot of money for an MOT, so why not take it somewhere that does reasonably priced MOTs? Sensible owner.

I really comes to something when you have to question that a Ferrari is real. These MR2 modders have really fked it up...

Yeah but someone with half million pound car (around that?)won't spend a couple of hundred quid to get an MOT done by someone who probably isnt an 18 year old kid?

But why though? The MOT done will be no different, they have to do a proper job or else they can loose their licence to carry out MOT tests. So surely even if you can afford the half million pound car why waste money on having an MOT done at Ferrari when the local Mr Clutch can do the same thing for a hell of a lot less.

On a side note I hope they keep away from the Peugeot in the background, look at the side of it.

This, you do NOT need a Ferrari specialist to do an MOT rolleyes

That said, I wouldn't take it to Mr Clutch either biggrin Council place or somewhere very trusted for me!

Apart from anything else, they can't charge £200 for an MOT anyway. The max is about £54 I think?

You never know, the chap might use Mr Clutch for his snotter and decided he trusted them enough to MOT his P&J.

Just found out this particular Mr.Clutch is in Wandsworth (mate travels between many locations)and evidently they have many Ferraris brought in for MOT's from a well known Ferrari servicing specialist around the corner.

Had a F40 and F50 in last week too biggrin

To be honest i'd trust Mr clutch further then i would trust any main stealer

I don't think Mr clutch has a large pile of OEM brakes discs for a ferreari to get rid of

I used mr Clutch once and the service was excellent
