    I know that a crew from the Forza development team photographed and measured my "L" series Dino in great detail for the development of the game. While my car is red, it is amazing to see how great it looks rendered in yellow and sliding around the Top Gear track. It appears that they left the reverse lights below the rear bumpers off but otherwise, it's spot on!

    A few friends have told me that the game when combined with the Xbox new steering wheel is so good, you won't want to leave home all winter. All I need now is some downtime!

    Drew Larrigan with FORZA MOTORSPORT photographed my 1969 Daytona for the same purpose. Was it Drew that filmed your car?

    Except for hitting the cone, it looks like me going to Publix to pick up a gallon of milk.

    I have the game, and it is amazing. the 206 is one of my all time favorite Ferrari's.. or Dino's as the case may be.

    I have both the Dino ( red ) and Daytona - Red and I suspect they drive better in the game than in real life... I dont know many who would rev a 40 year old car over 7K for each shift... would not be me! the daytona when properly modified in the game is a real screamer, and handles like a mix of old and new... love them both.

    In case any are wondering, it is the UK BBC TV Top Gear program test track used to time a whole range of sports cars. Not that impressed by the driver, makes me feel quite uncomfortable

    Look at the airliner in the background at 0:37 .. it is 747 size but has two engines in each cowl .. I saw that in a Bond film .. a terrorist was trying to blow it up on the ground. Or am I imagining things? :)

    I know the car. The owner just signed the papers for his divorce. As part of the settlement the ex-wife asked if she could drive the Dino one more time, just to the airport to pick up a friend. The guy said, "Sure."
