As i turned up at Viginia Water load of cameras pointing at me, felt proud of my shiny green cerbera, thought they must appreciate a quality motor, then I looked in my rear view mirror and saw why!

Saw you come up the road whilst I was at the BP station stocking up on munchies. Have to say I noticed the Cerbie before the Fezzas.

Well I think that's a great picture.

Not often you see the Ferrari guys turning out en masse like that.

Been in touch recently with the new RO of the local Ferrari owners club. He would like to get together with the TVRs this year at a Mid Essex meet. Would like to do that again as they were a really friendly bunch.

I keep telling myself that I have to go to a Virginia Waters Do but I always seem to have other plans on the relevant dates.

What amazes me is how you managed to get out of the car - spray "me ffs!!" over the road the in precise spot you needed and got back in the car before the guy took the photo and the Red Fiat Owners Club managed to turn. Well done!!

Personally, would have your spawn of satan over the 'rarris (nice as they are) any day

Funny you should say that quinny, When one of the 355's left V.W. it was really quiet and didn't sound very V8'y. My mate asked the same question if it was a Mr2 done up.
And i couldn't be certain either way.

Obviously if i was a 355 owner i would be seriously peaved if someone thought it was a kitted MR2..haha.. oops!

Surely you would have to have cahoonas the size of basketballs to risk the ridicule of turning up with an MR2'd Fezza Rep and parking slap bang in amongst them.

None in that pic are MR2 - they have stupidly short wheel based compared to the CRAp body kit - well the kit is not crap but the whole car / idea / drives are!!!

Hi Jellison,

Yeah to be honest all those in the Pic i'm certain are genuine. As no doubt was the 'oh so quiet one' that my mate commented on..

But i would love to turn up at a Ferrari bash in a dodgy MR2 bodied lookalike and park in the middle with the full Ferrari outfit on. Just for the comedy factor.
