    I met up with a friend last weekend who has an F50...truly a beautiful machine ! I originally met him at my wife's department party, and he is married to one of my wife's colleagues...We were introduced and somehow the topic of cars came up, and he tells me he brought his Ferrari out today !
    I asked "so which one do you drive" and he answers"an F50"...I thought to myself, "yeah, ok, outside ?" Sure enough, parked in the driveway was an F50 ! Beautiful ! Twenty minutes after being introduced we are out for a spin...on the way back, he pulls into a side street and says "Lets switch !" No argument here, and I must say, the car is awesome to drive. We get back to the house, and he gets out and tells me to take it for another spin, "by yourself, really get on it !" he says...needless to say, it was a thrilling drive. One of the nicest persons you will ever meet...

    Here are some pics from a car get together last weekend...

    RumFD, you've got lucky!!

    Maybe you can buy the car from him after he got tired of it. (Can't imagine getting tired of F50 though)

    It looks like Seattle? No?

    This is definitely the craziest story i've heard in a while; very cool stuff, congratulations to the both of you... Can you give us some more detailed impressions of your drive...? i've always loved the F50 and can't imagine what it's like to drive one... i can only go by what other folks have to say...

    Again, congratulations; my hat off to the both of you... Thanks for the pictures... Very cool stuff...

    RufMD, thank you for the great story. How does the F50 feel in terms of acceleration compared to your enhanced HP 996?
