    Check out this link a 355 attempted replica for sale on ebay.
    Aparantly the photos do not do it justice. lol.
    Found it quite funny and though i should share it with you, how anyone can think a Ferrari would look that bad is beyond me. surely nobody would fall for it and think its a real beauty.
    That interior is............ well what can you say......

    That is just what i was thinking ric I think Ferrari should have considered putting a skirting board on the engine lid like he has. looks cool.
    Look at the top quality engine labels too.

    The "Marinello" label in the rear window almost had me fooled.

    Did anyone see the yellow 355 at Donington. the owner was regurly revviing the bollocks out of it ,to the rev limiter. It did attract a crowd. It had some added body bits,made it did look a kit car. I think it belongs to someone in the pistonhead chat forum crew,?

    Some years ago at Silverstone Ferrari Owners Club gathering a 250 GTO replica sneaked into the owners enclosure. There was up roar in the ranks with the upmost snobbery i have ever witnessed. People refused to park near it. It stayed there all day basking in its own glory.One of the most amusing things i have ever seen this car given a wide perimeter where space was at a premium.
    Ferrari folk don,t you just love em.

    Dear Comrade Twotoot-Twotoomany,

    The same thing happened to RAY360M at the Conkers last year when he entered his 348 and 550 replica's. Even god was unhappy about them, spraying them with rain throughout the day.

    With kind regards,

    No steve, your just a bit tight with your pennies.

    And you had the nerve to keep moaning about Ray not subscribing to F.chat.

    You sure you can afford the fuel to get the 512M to Scotland or are you going in the P100??? (LOL).

    Regards,

    Phil.

    stevef all clubs, organisations even teams have some degree of snobbery its just to what degree. The london FOC use to meet in a grotty pub in Wandsworth when i first joined I occasionally turned up in my P100 pickup straight from work ( heavy engineering) Certain people use to look down their noses at me but generally they were a great crowd and we had a common interest FERRARI.

    Dear Comrade Johnny Rotten's Son M8,

    I regret to inform you that there is another spelling error within your text. And if you do not know how to spell tergiversate, then here is the correct spelling.

    With kind regards,

    512 Tea Are - Tea Arse - Tear Arse - Exponent of godwottery and putting peoples 'hats on straight' when they can't make up their mind on which side of the fence to sit. Whilst I wholly forgive you for all the sins you perpetrated against Steve and I concerning the 'P100 Days' on this forum, I do however feel that you should stay on the same track, and not dodge about all over the place. Apart from this, you appear to be a very nice chap. You could be better still if you will confirm your wholehearted support of the P100 Wonder Truck, of which there are at least three extant afficianado's upon this forum. To wit, Steve f. Twotoot-Twotoomany, And my illustrious self of course.
