Agreed. And I'm fortunate to be with someone who takes the time to capture these images the way she does.
#55167 and I went for our first drive today...The 288 just received new discs and pads, a new clutch, new belts and is in perfect health... I am in love... No car has ever impressed me as much as this Ferrari... Light, responsive, powerful, it reminded me of everything that makes a car truly great. It also reminded me that a truly great car needs no electronics to mask its brilliance... I came back and -crazy as it sounds- I couldn't even look at the Enzo. Compared to my old F40 -great car- it is less explosive, feels more delicate with the smaller tyres and less powerful engine, but in many ways it is a far more cohesive driving experience...I felt like I could go on driving forever. In my humble opinion Joe is right...This is the greatest modern Ferrari. It cost a lot of money, but it is worth every penny. I can see why so many people are currently trying to buy them and I wonder what would ever make me sell it... The car is going back to the workshop next week, as I have some megaphonos fitted...More news in 2 weeks time.
Does anybody know this 288GTO, it's history or VIN? It was seen in Scotland in 2005. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I checked my notes and I have extensively researched this card. My notes say it was seen in Scotland sometime in 2005. I hope that helps.

The red inserts in leather really do look superb. Joe, out of curiosity is there is a breakdown of how many 288s were sold in each country back in 1984/5? Some data I have suggests South Africa got three, not sure if the one in the Franschoek Motor Museum is one of those 3 based on the fact it has the yellow fogs, which would indicate possible European delivery.
I think the Franschoek museum car was originally delivered to France, but I'm guessing at the moment. I may have posted earlier in this thread that 3 cars were delivered to South Africa which is what my registry suggests, but I don't have a breakdown of cars by country delivered although I suppose with some effort it could be put together.
Not sure if this one has been posted as yet.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/Ferrari360/Cars/GTo6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/Ferrari360/Cars/GTo5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v59/Ferrari360/Cars/GTo2.jpg
Does anyone know if a fire extinguisher was an original factory option for the 288 GTO? If it was, what did the original factory one look like and how/where was it installed? A picture would be great. Thanks!
