THE F50 THREAD

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.

 

10 year resto! how come? let me guess? but yes it was well done by caring spanners,painters,trimmers ect

 

Yes, yes and yes.

 

now I'm worried about my next service with you know who.Might get it back in the spring

 

380ish... hows that work if there are meant to be 349. were ferrari telling fibs? where are all the extras? the sultans collection. did they not count?

 

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.

 

you wouldnt want to have 2 with the same s/n in the same country/state... you'd have a fun time trying to register them

 

I went to wash the F50 today and found this stuck in the air intake

LOL, What a find, looks like a little bloke I saw last week.

 

LMAO - we can work with that....

 

and was there a matching one in the other nostril ??

 

is it an intake or exhaust?

 

LOL.

Good to see 360C has the best additon to his family.

 

pedant !!

technically you're right though ... just this ONCE!!

 

At my age coping with one is taxing enough JM! For the first few weeks I was all set to express post him back to India and his Grandmother

 

Haha finally a baby photo a kid will be proud of showing his friends/girlfriend one day!

 

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

 

caught young Troy in the garage one time when he was 5 with my favourite fishing rod whacking the Ferrari and foat2300 witha big smile on his face .. not realising the "danger" he was in ..... Leonie grabbed him and hid him for a while

 

I can relate to that 360C.

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.

 

then there's the terrible twos

 

Nice pic 360. Saw your old CSL today again, at my local cafe strip.
