Well I never

[Beaver]

So I'm sitting in my Scuderia in north London whilst girlfriend/fiancee/whatever dutifully shops at the local Tesco Express/Metro/whatever, looking suitably miserable so trendy types walking by aren't displeased by the presence of exotica in their 'hood, when I notice in the rear view mirror a chap staring at the engine compartment.

Dude is properly pressed up against the rear bumper peering in, actually pretty much leaning on the perspex window. I suspect he doesn't know I'm sitting up front, which is confirmed when his lady friend remarks "Oh my God - the driver is sitting in the car and still you stare?"

"I don't give a monkey's" he replies.

Fair enough.

Then he walks alongside the car, promptly opens the passenger door, leans in and says "you forgot to take the stickers off!".

Although rather startled I manage to laugh, assuming he means the stripes, and manage to mumble that they're painted on. He then walked off, looking back and pointing in a weird rock star pose.

And that's about the strangest reaction I've experienced..

I presume therefore that the door handles on a Scuderia are not too hard to locate? Otherwise the pond-life on legs you described should have found it more difficult to acquaint himself with the interior of your Scuderia.

People always struggle to find the door handles on my F355 Berlinetta.

He opened the door? LOL, where do these people come from. I'd never dream of opening a stranger's car door.

At least no harm was done assuming he didn't scratch it leaning on it?

Edit: Yeah it is a shame they aren't more hidden like on the inside. I couldn't for the life of me find the handle to get out an F430... felt a bit silly...

You should've pressed 'START' with your foot on the loud peddle.......he'd have jumped a mile!

To some people a Ferrari is like a celebrity. They spend their whole life waiting to meet one, then when they do they say something stupid.

This is the worst "I GOT A FERRARI" thread ever!

I misread that, and for a moment it sounded quite nasty.

I once returned from paying at a petrol station to find an unusually large woman had squeezed herself into the driving seat, and was fiddling with all the knobs.
