F355 - Launch video (Niki Lauda, raw chassis .. lots more)

Moving shots of an F50 are never pointless.

 

So that's what the front mounting plate looks like

 

Cool VDO I was waiting for Godzilla to pick up a car and take a bite out of it

Wonder if a version exists in a diff language

 

Good find, Brendon. Thanx for posting. Not sure if the 355 was capable of more or not, but I can't fault the driver from staying out of the scrum ahead of him.

 

I speak Chinese , He's saying " save your money don't buy the ferrari , the evo and the subaru;s can kick its butt , silly italians " and " i think i heard a valve guide go flying out of the engine on that last lap " lol . please guys no harm meant , just making a joke !

 

Why is it that the Japanese have some great Ferrari stuff that doesn't appear to exist in English (both written and on film) ??

 

Way to selectively quote. Right after that he said "at least it's not the 'ugly sister' (best translation I can come up with) 348, and is still much faster even though it's burning a quart of oil a lap."

 

The fact that it's Japanese and not Chinese probably explains your appalling translation.

He actually says:

"Whilst there may be other cars which are faster, they are for teenage boys and cheap-asses.
Real men will buy this lovely - post 95 - Ferrari 355. And anyone who can't afford to maintain one properly is not even "shagging material", let alone "marriage material."

Note: Don't blame me, I'm just the translator.

 

Typical, make one small joke and all the catty hairdressers come out of hiding
I dont think theres a word in japenese that translates to " whilst"

" serenity now "

 

No sense of humor, eh? Can dish it out but can't take it in return, figures.

 

I simply made a joke that even 355 owners with no sense of humor should be able to lighten up a little and laugh at. Then the 355 " clan " has to turn it into derigatory remarks about wealth manhood and immature things like "ugly sister ". I used to think seoerate threads were stupid, but please Rob, give them their own thread , but make so if they choose that thry can only participate in that thread , call it thesense if humorless thread, you can all go in there and destroy eachother the same way your big pretentious mouths have destroyed the value of your cars


" serenity now "

 

Yep, I laughed and made a joke in kind and you couldn't take it. Maybe if at the end we had put 'please no harm meant , just making a joke !' you'd take it better? It would be funny if it weren't so sad. BTW, you might want to re-evaluate that hairdresser joke as there's only one hairdresser I'm aware of that has a Ferrari and he doesn't have a 355.

Hope your fragile ego can handle having a hairdresser's car...

 

*sits on the couch and grabs the popcorn*

 

More disgustiing trash talk
Thank uou podting in the way thst we have come to expect from some 355 owners

" serenity now "

 

John you really need to stop poking the bear. At some point the narrator says that they could not find anyone who would bring a 348 out to the track. The reason was lost on me though. You can fill in the blanks.

 

But its so much fun

I worded the joke so as to not be a personal attack on anybody, just a quirk of the car, and yet they pounce . True colors!
" serenity now "

 

And how was what I said a personal attack on anybody? Just a quirk of the car....

 

Stop feeding the troll....
