5th Gear (channel 5) is doing a Ferrari Special on the 15th December, 8.30pm

I may well have to erect a new aerial by then!

They've just started broadcasting CH5 round here, but I'm in a bit of a dip. Still, I can get sound if not a good picture, so perhaps I will just turn the brightness down and enjoy the show?

[nevpugh308]

Get Sky man !!

Well ....who saw it then?
What do you all think of the top ten?

Expected the Dino 246 to be in the top 10, but surprised that the Testarossa came first.

Never having driven one though, can't truthfully know if it warranted first place.

Anyone?

[mal]

I didnt get to see it, can anyone remeber what the top 10 was?

[sb-1]

Testarossa
Daytona
360
308/328
250 GTO
F40
246 Dino

From what I remember so far....

...plus-

- California
- 250LM
- P4

[mal]

Well my top 10 would be:

250GTO
288GTO
250 spyder SWB
246GTS
P4
F40
250TR? (original Testarossa)
355
Boxer
Daytona

It surprises me that the 355 didnt make the top 10 and its even more odd to me that the Testarossa was voted no 1. A great car I'm sure but not the best ever.

Thanks Tony!

Let's be honest, the Testarossa should never have won, in with a great chance of winning the worst ten surely!!

[355f]

well a most odd selection i thought!

Who on earth could but the testarossa first!! It may have been an icon in its day but lets face it it has not stood the test of time well.

No mention of the 288GTO one of the most wonderful cars, or the 355, the most significant landmark for Ferrari in the last decade.

Goes to show the general public know bugger all about cars!!

[nevpugh308]

Well, needless to say I was happy with the 308/328 coming 2nd

Testarossa being 1st just shows how many school kid's had posters of them on their walls in the 80's.

I thought the couple of racers were a bit eclectic and obscure to have been chosen by the general public ... ?

[danhay]

I blame Miami Vice

[mustard]

does that mean shinney suits are gonna make a come back?

We should bear in mind that 98% of voters probably have never even sat in a Ferrari, let alone fired one up and driven it.

True, but presumably they must have seen one, or at least a picture of one, so what's the excuse for the red testicle comming 1st.
