    These pics should make a grown man cry. I was at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance at the Ritz Carlton yesterday. The show was ending and we were watching the GTOs start up and drive off of the lawn when we heard a loud thud. I turned around and saw this FF on the platform and not on the ramp as it should have been. I don't think it was the drivers fault (he was a Ferrari salesman) but rather the person who put the ramps in place. Needless to say quite a crowd gathered around this poor guy trying to explain to his bosses what happened on his cellphone. You may have to click on the image to enlarge it.

    Hah! I took down the serial of the car I drove for NNO, but have subsequently forgot it.

    I was thinking the same thing. Low speed there shouldn't be much damage, if any, besides some dented egos.

    Something must have bent, as it seems that the wheel well lining is out of place.

    I was there but safely parked in a secure out of sight location that a $20 tip gets you even after paying Club Amelia VIP parking premium. I nearly bought the 365GTC but $400K for a good driver ? The fly yellow Dino was ok but somebody bid $330K plus buyers premium for an average restoration. A nice Dino GTS in Grigio Ferro won its class.
    Incidentally my FF is subject with others to an oil change request from Ferrari NA. Interesting, more soon. Will get my own sample for analysis.

    I wasn't worried: Cariad's interior is Testa di Moro.

    Accidents happen, but agree they should of just tried to reverse it back on the stand before everyone came to take pictures instead of helping in some way to get the car on all 4wheels.


    Don't want to hijack the thread but this photo just shows how big the ff really is, I saw a recent photo of a ff along side a BMW Z3 coupe and couldn't believe the difference. You don't get no perception of it's size by solo photos, or video clips.

    I can't wait to get the chance to see one in the flesh.
