ok, so Saturday about 3pm I am at Maranello in Egham.

Stood outside when I hear this noise, not unlike a plane.

The next thing i know, screaming by, a black maserati MC12 being chased (at a high rate of knots!) by a black enzo, being chased by an F430, absolutely awesome. even the salesmen were shocked!

Great spotted, but more importantly: what did you buy Craig?

erm, nothing yet

drove a 4200 Cambiocorsa. The 05 model seems to get the gransport front& rear spoilers as standard. the weird thing was that all the new 4200's seemed to have massive gaps between the top of the tyres & the wheelarches. Made them look very high up.

I loved the 4200 & the CC gearshift, it was a bit comfier than mine but didnt feel much faster, I'm sure that just perception because of the different power delivery.

I just dont know if its worth(to me) the extra money over my car. hmmm.

Sounds amazing, one question though, i didnt believe the MC12 was produced in black?

Probably recognised the mechanics driving the cars.
