    Excellent pics! But I'm not a fan of red interior.

    Just out of curiosity, anybody know if that is a regular-way license plate that just happens to be seven digits, instead of the usual combination of three letters and four numbers, does it represent a special type of plate? I'm thinking the latter.

    I saw that car in real life a few weeks ago... It is either on display or for sale at hunting Ridge Motors in Portchester NY...

    I agree the red interior isn't my favorite.

    Can't imagine it. That type of owner would buy a Carrera GT or Enzo instead. The SLR is automatic and porky, not too suited for the track, IMO. Unless you're talking about drag racing.

    :D - It seems that just about the only car you can MAKE money speculating on is the Ferrari.

    It's Mark's car of Hunting Ridge Motors. I bought my VT Roadster from him. Great and honest, guy. It's brand new and never been titled. She is listed for $569k but he will be fair and work w/ you.

    Thanks Steve, awesome pics.

    Your database of car pics must be huge. You always have something new.

    Thank you, I always felt as though I were the only one. It doesn't do anything for me. If I didn't know anything about cars and was walking down a street I would think it is your average car, which IMO is not what a super car should do. It should stop you in your tracks so you start drooling. Plus how is a super car automatic? If I want a mercedes w/ similar performance I'd spend a few hundred less and get a 600.
