    Great stuff! To bad the days of a true hand-built car are nearly gone....

    Jas, how do you pick which one to drive when you want to go for a run...? Is it just an eenie meenie minie moe thing...? Even those cars that are most similar (like maybe the Challenge Stradale and the GT3 RS) - how do you choose...?

    Journalists and the photographer who trailed along had much more liberal access to the assembly process in those times. Pictures were not a problem back then. One of the French magazines of the day showed a picture of F40 5 vent style rear engine decks just stacked up in a corner.

    I've settled on short runs in each...its the only fair way to treat the kids :)

    On longer times off, it comes down to route/parking hassle....and sometimes simply which ones are on the lifts and which aren't !

    All the best to you in 2009 pal, wish you nothing but success and good health.

    Sorry for the thread hijack John, love those pictures. I know I posted some other factory shots in the F40 Photos thread you contributed to the other day...I'll go back and see which page...

    For those interested in F40 assembly pictures (and indeed many pictures of inside of the Factory) I thoroughly recommend Michael Dregni's 1990 book "Inside Ferrari".

    Please take a look at the video and stop at 2:21 seconds. Take a look at what it says on the turbos.

    IHI chargers. Aren't they a Japanese company that is affiliated with Borg-Warner?
