    Thx...I had a lot of fun running back an forth from the tripod in the middle of the street to the dimmer light switch on top of the garage stairs to get the lighting effect I was looking for. I also tried several frames and angles. The one I posted was the best.

    The 250 LM is #5149, the 250 GT (NOT a Boano!) is 0429 GT. This is one of the Pinin Farina prototypes.

    As you can see I have winter tires. It works but it is not the fastest car. There was a BWM and some VW which were quite better on the snow (not surprisingly).

    We had a challenge were you had to do a slalom in parallel against another car. There was a Cayman which was about the same as the 575M (a bit faster). It was quite hard to accelerate from standstill with the 575M. The cayman was a bit better were the BMW nearly had no problems (it was no AWD, it also was rear wheel drive only).

    The tires are too wide (I have 295 on the rears) and the traction control of a modern car is much better. But all in all it was not too bad in the snow and ice.

    The dealer also had an FF there. I could try the car for some minutes and it was really impressive. A complete different world to the 575M. It was very easy to drive and there was much more traction. I could just sit in the car and drive.

    Here some pics of the FF.
