    Am I paranoid? I wouldn't post such good images of the keys. Someone could make a copy from them!

    A bit far fetched IMO; but in any case, a key isn't much good if you can't get anywhere near the car.

    Not really. A bit hard to do much in an unregistered car. I did a lot of laps at Phillip Island; but that's about it. The car will be in the 60th parade on Saturday; but it isn't all that loud at idle or road speed limits.

    360C I absolutely cannot wait to see the F50 in action at the 60th anniversary parade!

    Reverse parking an F50 is no worse than reverse parking any other mid engined Ferrari. Even without power steering my 45kg wife manages quite easily. The car is a *****cat until you provoke it.

    I believe she came a very close second; but in any case she did better than I would have. She managed to reverse park it about 1cm away from a pole.

    Lucky it was an Italian car and not a German one, or she'd have gone storming straight through ;)

    that's a pretty bloody good effort!

    maybe she doesn't like driving cos she knows she'll show you up?

    remember when she beat me at shepparton? maybe it was no fluke! damn!

    Yup, she brings it up from time to time too. Of course traction control in the 360 and Hoosiers/wet pavement on the 355 might have had something to do with it.
