    Beautiful car, thanks for the pics... I couldnt get to JHB to see the show, but apparently there was an LP640 there, did you get any pics of that?

    EDIT:

    The prancing horse that you have taken a pic of, what or where is that on the car?

    Looks fantastic in that color (of course I'm prejudiced towards yllw on any Ferrari). Thanks for sharing the pics! Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

    Actually I had a sneak preview of that very same white LP640 at Investment Cars a few weeks ago. I even got to sit in it (not drive it, unfortunately). I'll post a couple pics of it... give me a few minutes...

    The prancing horse was just stuck on a clear Plexiglass podium at the Ferrari stand. I thought it looked cool. They also had some chromed Ferrari model cars that looked cool - I'll post a pic of them too.

    excellent, thank you very much :)

    What did you think of the LP640 compared to the normal Murci (sorry to thread jack - maybe PM me, I dont want to kill this thread with off topic chat)


    About the prancing horse, it really is sweet, I would love one (for my office one day)

    I'm not a huge fan of the Murci / LP640 - a bit too oversized for my tastes. I prefer the Gallardo.

    Anyway, here are the pics of the chromed Ferraris and the LP640.

    Man that is a lovely car. Thanks for posting these ones too :) How was the show though? was it worth it? The only motor show I have been to is the Durban motor show, and I have to say, what a dissappointment..

    The show was quite good. Got to see the 599, Audi R8, Alfa Brera, Ford Iosis, Totota Fine-N, some other concepts. Also, Ford had a GT there which really is sweet looking. Honda had their amazing humanoid robot 'Asimo' who walks around and climbs stairs - very impressive.

    I'm putting together a webpage of those pics. Will post the url later.

    I've never been a fan of yellow Ferrari's...but Giallo Modena on a 599 is pure sex.

    Stunning. My new favorite color on the Fiorano I think.
