...yellow F50 going southbound on the A3. I was going north in the TVR and nearly crashed into the car in front as I rubber necked to see it go past.

I read yesterday that Eric Clapton has the only F50 in the UK at the moment, and that he picked up his yellow one from Maranello. Could it have been him?

Eric, are you on here?!

I think you meant Eric has the only Enzo.

You're absolutely right...was typing this whilst on the 'phone...multi-tasking...never been one of my strong points.

I meant, of course, that I saw a yellow Enzo on saturday.

It looked extraordinary driving towards me with that F1 style nose - it really DOES look like a racing car. Very smart though.

I agree with Manu - when it went past me, I couldn't really hear it either...but he wasn't going quickly. I expect it sounds pretty awesome higher up the rev range.

One thing I DID think - it looks very wide. Is it a bit of a chubster width ways? May be bit of an optical illusion as it's so low.

edited to say - have just re-read Manu's post about Enzo being quiet...were you being sarcie?! I genuinely didn't think it was very loud. But then again, I'm a TVR man myself...
