    On May 20th, I was out and about going to a restaurant for lunch and ran into this beautiful and spiritual sight; an F40! On the Side of it says :

    Virginia City Hill Climb
    June 16, 20002
    Fasted time ever
    5 min 16.58 sec

    First I kidded the owner "Is this a replica?" then I tried to swap my F430 for this old car :). He seemed very down to earth and has owned the car since the mid 1990s. I was in an amazing mood for the next few hours. The clip is about 18 sec. Unfortunately ferrarichat won't allow the clip to be uploaded due the size. I have included a link to google cloud storage:

    Is that the ex Rod Stewart yellow F40?

    There will be a few on here having sleepless nights now having watched that!

    I 'd like to think that the car is scheduled for a complete rebuild and so why not take advantage and have some fun beforehand. :)

    ...... or, the guy is just crazy and has serious F U money. :p

    The amount of smoke this F40 emits under load warrants attention.

    The yellow drifting F40 is 87531, allegedly it is the ex-Rod Stewart car.
