    I have just read through this thread from the start, 360C your attention to detail and high standards are mind blowing. Thank you for taking the time to share this journey with us.

    I have not see a F50 in the carbon reality yet, to my knowledge there is not one in NZ, so I may have to make a trip across the Tasman to see one, from the pictures posted in this thread, yours would be the one to see, in my favourite Ferrari colour too.

    Stunning work!

    Thanks. If you found this thread interesting, there is a similar one on my 360 N-GT Michelotto http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87362&highlight=360+N-GT

    One day I might get around to doing one on the 10yr restoration of my 308 GTB. It was pre digital, so it's not as easy to do as the F50/360 threads.

    There are only 4 F50's in Australia, so it's not that easy to get a look at one. Mine is the only yellow one here and it's one of only 33 or so in the entire production run of 380 ish cars.

    Ferrari have ALWAYS lied about production numbers. In the case of the F50's there are more than one car bearing the S/N 99999 for example. There were also a number of post production cars, some of them were Brunei cars.
    There are way more than 400 Enzo's too, it would be hilarious if they all turned up at the one meeting.

    There were more, but I wonder if there still are after seeing so many piles of shattered carbon fibre with V12 garnish on various websites :(

    They are worth so much over MSRP now, I bet many have been rebuilt.

    Thanks Brett, he is a lot of fun. Just waiting for him to get big enough to face forwards in the Maserati back seat in his capsule. Start 'em early :)

    I can relate to that 360C. :D

    Hold on mate, it will be worth it soon. Once they hit around 6 months you'll start to get some interaction.

    LOL good point!!!

    Just a couple days ago I got a framed print of me at age 4 which my mother stumbled upon. I find it really sweet that she went to such an effort (because she wants a nice CBD condo to stay in a few weeks from now :/ ) but even as cute as I was (am), me giving a salute in army fatigues as a toddler isn't as cute as me in a Ferrari duct. :(
