    Or rather, attended a lunch function celebrating Dato' Seri Jean Todt's success in F1. Close enuf.

    The function was organised by the Ferrari Club of Malaysia. It was a fantastic sea of red. Camera was Nikon D40, bought the day before especially for this occasion. Stayed up until 4 a.m. reading the manual. The results were worth it though.

    The car he arrived in, plate number 1 of course.

    More pics coming.

    Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
    Just curious, where are the 348 or older cars?
    Is there a lack of good mechanic to keep them running?
    Happy New Year!

    Thanks for the nice response guys.

    First time using this camera, so not sure whether I made the most of it.

    Ferraris here cost circa USD500k upwards.

    No, not a single 348 was there, although rest assured, 348's are well-maintained by their passionate owners here. I was hoping to see some 348 there too, but no luck.

    More pics as I load them up... Enjoy.

    No Scuderia even for the Todtster? Maybe he didn't make the cut?

    That Grigio F430 is made by Hamann of Germany. From the wing to the wheels. A car like that tho is missing sportier seats IMO.

    Ah Hamann, yess!

    I kinda agree on the seats, but I guess they wanted to keep them in the style of the rest of the interior (red isn't my cup of tea).

    While I like a good racing seat, I hate to deal with those racing belts in day to day use of a car. You have to compromise somewhere unless it is a track only car.

    That F430 is super low. Does it only have the Hamann bodykit or is the engine also supercharged?
