    It's ofcourse a very rare occurence to see a bike on a F40's roof......but nothing wrong with that......I guess the owner enjoys cycling and driving.

    That bike is having fun for sure.

    BTW, why the air exits in the front fenders are partially sealed?

    The rear emblem will help you find out more on the car than the plate could. ;)

    The emblem was switched to a Ford Bronco emblem if I remember correctly. It was at the Concourse at Pebble beach two or three years ago.

    It looks like it wasn't blocked off, just painted red.



    Crazy to see a bike rack on an F40!

    This is Amir R's Virginia City Hillclimb record-breaking car. It has also raced on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Displayed at Concorso Italiano (not Pebble Beach) half-a-dozen times. Perhaps the most enjoyed F40 Im aware of....
    The air exits from the trailing edge of the front hood were blocked off to block all the grit and small stones that gets thrown up from the front wheels on to the side sills as occurs with standard cars equipped with satin-black grilles. You have to hand it to the man, he could write a book about his adventures with this car - and hopefully will!

    Looking forward to the book. Any idea what the title will be? What are you going to write about in the preface? :):):)

    I think that is great. I always loved seeing super cars out and about getting life's daily tasks completed.
