    Schedoni will make you one of either bag and will put your S/N on the bag if you really want one. I didn't pull the trigger in the end, but I seem to recall 3 or 4 K for the "big" bag.

    Anyone know when the GTO changed the rear bumpers during the production run? The change is the addition of the heat shield/insulation on the inside to keep the license plate light heat from potentially damaging the paint. I'm assuming Ferrari had some cars that had problems with this to make the change. My car, 55669, has the early style bumpers (and no paint melting). The connector changed as well. I believe the change is somewhere in the 56xxx range.

    In the range rover :)

    You can actually fit two small rucksacks in the trunk - essentially you can pack enough for one or maybe 2 changes of clothes for 2 adults and your wash kit. Want to bring formal wear? Fraid not.

    One could leave the spare out and then get more space, but lets face it, its not exactly the car I take for a family holiday! That said I did do a 1500 mile road trip last summer with a friend. I solved the luggage problem by giving him the keys to my CS and I drove the GTO, we put most of the luggage in the trunk of the CS + passenger seats.

    Well, with no passenger, you can get a lot of stuff crammed into the car. I got pretty good at packing for four days of auto racing using the space above and below the spare tire and the passenger seat area. The helmets are a pain as you can't crush them.

    With a passenger, I use Fedex....

    I have a Senna S1 in my office. It is every bit as much art as the 288 GTO

    Sorry to get into this thread so late. This does not look like a real GTO Evoluzione. It appears to be one of Jim Carpenter's recreations, of the four, three are in Europe, one is in Atlanta, the molds in my warehouse in Arizona.

    The wheelbase is wrong, it is too short. I think the rear vents are wrong compared to a real Evo.
