    So, how would I score a ride in an F50??
    I only have a "lowly" 360 6-speed. Of course if I won 10 million in the lottery, I'd have an F50. But I haven't won yet. :)
    I was able to get behind an F50 as it was going through the gears on a long, straight freeway onramp. Oh my goodness!!
    I have to figure out a way to pay/obtain/beg/etc. a ride in one.
    :)

    Thank goodness you filled in your profile...that's all I have to say.

    There are several members on the forums here that own/have owned F50's. Do some research and then get in touch with them.

    Thank you for the advice. I think it would be rude/cheesy though to just up and ask an F50 owner for a ride in his/her car. I thought it would be better to just state my desire and let some generous soul offer a ride.
    :)

    He's rather far away from Crystal Cove - like 6 hours or so, even if he was pushing it.

    I'd suggest making friends with Art Z and getting a ride in the ultimate F50. ;)

    Mike I told you there are advantages to being a member of FCA. All but 2 F50 owners and all Enzo owners in our area are club members. Art was at the picnic with his F50 and would prob have given a fellow member a ride. Within 5 miles of where I am sitting there are 2 Enzos, both members.

    That's 360C's ... in Australia. One cool dude if you ask me :D
    I wasn't going to put his name but then I thought well he has it listed in his profile anyway I don't think he'd be worried about it

    AFAIK, the F50 GTs only have a drivers seat.. the passenger side is taken up with electronics and such...

    Yeah - I said that without thinking and you are certainly correct.

    Still though, if someone wanted to strap me to that red box on the floor there I'd be game to hold on for dear life. :D

    My car now has Giallo headlights as I thought it looked a little strange too. The black set now live in a cupboard.

    It goes pretty well. Nothing too Earth-shattering lately, just some cars we knew about already shuffling around between people who have a lot more money than I've managed to scrape together so far. :D

    I should have some big news soon on something for those who care. :cool:
