    For all those who visit this site primarily to bring Ferrari owners and enthusiasts down a notch or two, I present the ultimate Ferrari killer, on paper, from the stoplight, and on the track. Anticipating the inevitable track challenges, I've freed up the remainder of my summer for a tour of North American marque club events, Ferrari, Lambo, Viper, Radical: bring it on, ladies. (It's a holiday in the US, I'm guessing site traffic will be down, so I thought I'd take a chance with a blatantly OT post.)

    I think clown cars are great, although I am a little bit afraid of clowns in general. The sun roof is good too because you can squeeze at least one extra clown in. Please do not post anymore of these disturbing pictures here.

    Laughing so hard at the replies I can't keep up ....

    Anyway, just what I expected from uptight, closed minded Cavallino slaves. Admit it, you're all poseurs.

    In this photo, taken just outside the factory test track, you can see the Stradale style sliding Lexan windows. Ferrari STOLE the idea from this car. Note the obvious aerodynamic efficiency; full size temp controlled factory wind tunnel shown in the background.

    I noticed the obvious precursor to a carbon-fiber sunroof closure, you know....for reduced weight.

    All right! The badges make it really cool! Can I buy it so beautiful women will swoon in my arms?

    Seriously, I have a weak spot for stupid cars, but is a Ferrari site really on topic for them???? Got an Amphicar to post as well?

    They are some impressive vehicles that give Ferrari a run for it's money. Note which car Jordan gets to drive and and which he is given a ride in....

    "Fiat 500? Aircooled 479cc or 499cc 2 cyl twin 18HP HOT ROD! Pre '65? No reverse gear."

    Great guess, but not quite. Made by a Fiat competitor. 1958. Italian but made in France (so I'm told).

    Like I said, a great guess.

    As for Jordan and the Enzo - well, you simply cannot put one of these in the hands of a novice.

    "Sorry, forgot to add: name that car; # of cylinders; HP. It's my wife's new toy."

    Vespa 400; 0.4L; 2 cylinders; 12 hp, 47 lb/ft torque

    Were built in France from 1957 to 1961 by ACMA ( A teliers of C onstructions of M otos and A utomobiles), in Fourchambault close to Nevers.
    The initial study under the name of MITZI was made by the SIATA (Societa Italiana Auto Transformazioni Accessori) specialized in the sporting transformations of FIAT. This study was sold with PIAGGIO manufacturer Vespa scooters. PIAGGIO gave this small car the name of Vespa 400 and built it in the French subsidiary company ACMA.


    Next time you might want to remove it from your profile prior to posting. LOL
