    I asked the guys on another thread to photoshop my buggy to see what it might look like with a wrap .. and this was the result .. not quite matt but close enough. I'd be interested to see what it wud look like in white, but I don't think the matt black suits it. What you think?

    Of coz it's not wrong to make the world safer. I myself hate those pirates too and wish they were stopped. They should be brought down, but not by hunting them as game. Humans killing other humans for fun is really quite a scary thought.

    Yeah I don't think matte black looks nice on it, white would be better. Always loved white Ferraris as they are uncommon and look nicer than red to me. Anyways, if you are tempted to cross over to the dark side, you can always wait for the stunning LP550-2 :)

    I think most of you know about this but for those who don't, here it is.

    Business Times - 30 Jun 2009

    Just two left standing for Ferrari franchise
    It now looks like a race between Ong Beng Seng and Hadi Tanaga
    By SAMUEL EE (SINGAPORE) Two local auto distributors are understood to have been shortlisted by Ferrari to take over the local dealership, with the decision expected in the first 10 days of July.

    Ong Beng Seng, F1 promoter and the man behind Hyundai distributor Komoco Motors, and Hadi Tanaga, who owns Premium Automobiles, the Audi dealer, are said to be the last two standing out of at least five parties who had applied to represent the Italian super sports car marque.

    The decision to appoint a dealer could come in the next few days, according to a source from Ferrari Asia Pacific, the prancing horse's regional headquarters in Shanghai. He added that it should not take longer than the next 10 days.
    The source did not say it but the time frame could relate to the fact that Ferrari's agreement with current importer Hong Seh Motors is understood to expire by mid-July, thus making after-sales support an important issue with the exclusive Italian manufacturer's well-heeled customers here.

    Hong Seh has held the Ferrari franchise since 1982. The home-grown company was one of the five parties which had submitted proposals to represent the Italian marque here.

    Another party was Karsono Kwee, the man behind Porsche and Rolls-Royce, among other brands.

    The well-known motor magnate was understood to have been a strong contender but chose to bow out of the race even before Ferrari could shortlist him because of pressure from Porsche.

    Apparently, the German sports car maker was unhappy about the idea of Mr Kwee taking on another sports car brand. Ferrari has been reviewing its dealer network in the region for the past three years with the aim of maximising the full potential of its business.

    As part of the selection criteria, the new partner will have to invest in a new and more visible showroom in Leng Kee Road or the Orchard Road area. Another requirement is an increased focus on after-sales service and customer care.

    As early as late 2008, the first of the five suitors began submitting their proposals to the Italian carmaker - a disproportionately large number considering the small size of the Singapore market.

    So far, senior management from Ferrari's Shanghai office have been making regular visits to the Republic to meet with the applicants.

    Yesterday, they informed Mr Ong and Mr Tanaga that they are the final two applicants to be considered.

    HSM is out of the race...

    "There has been rumblings in the past about Leica using a Canon sensor in the evolution of the M.

    I received an email today stating that Canon and Leica are in negotiations for Canon to supply the sensor in the upcoming Leica M9. It’s written the M9 will utilize a version of the 5D Mark II sensor. The new Leica is to be launched at Photokina 2010 in Germany."

    Oic..wonder which "expert" was so quick to trod on Canon cameras..hmmm

    White on red would look much better! There are some pictures lying around, but take a look at Britblaster's 430 scud, it looks stunning in white/red.
