    9 has 4 carbs, 7 has 1 (from memory). 9 is a very quick car. Rear suspension is swing arms hung from opposite sides (like the front axle of an early Ford 150 ute) so big camber changes, hence the scary handling.

    Just getting back to normal now actually.

    Place painted, some furniture here and some still to arrive, and have bought some stock.

    You don't realise how much stuff you have until you throw out EVERYTHING and have to buy it all again.

    Thanks for asking.:)

    These things should be banned from the road ...... they have no brakes, handle like pigs and are just plain ugly

    Ferraris are out there to cheer people up, this thing makes me want to take anti-depressants

    Sorry, but I have never appreciated OHOS built before the 50s ....... Bentley blowers, Bugattis, Allards, etc etc ....... we've moved on, leave them in a museum as a reminder that we can do better

    In saying that, I don't really like the latest supercars but Ferrari is moving in the right direction with the 296

    Agreed. The 296 is the best looking Ferrari in quite a while.
