There is a short report about it on the F World Club DVD.

(even though salt is the one place I won't take my fcar. or any car I really care about :p rain/clean-show is all fine though, newer Fcars won't melt.) Best! Ben.

I don't know if licesne plates are regional, but when I lived in France (studied there for a while...) I had a plate "500 AHB 06" IIRC. Granted, that was on a 1.0L Ford Fiesta (ah, very different animal!) That was in the south of France, in the Antibes / Nice / Cannes / Mougins area. This picture has that general feel, but I don't recognize it for sure... Anybody know with authority? On a different note, up there with the deep blues, these titanium colors really do it for me!

Now that is a no no! James Glickenhaus (Napolis) Member Username: Napolis Post Number: 299 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 4:23 pm:    Ferrari's were raced in the snow. Monte Carlo Rallye. I've driven mine in the snow many times.

Probably was so hard to find a parking in the streets of Paris (?), that the guy just didn't want to give it up. Obviously they don't know about the chairs in Chicagoland... Joseph (Mojo) Junior Member Username: Mojo Post Number: 227 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 2:17 pm:    People with a lot of money think of cars like this, like I think about my chevy. It goes in the snow also. Its all relative.
