    It didn't work out well at all because the damn power unit is for UK-spec electrical! It's like 220 or something. It's different than the standard European 220-volt, so I can't use a transformer.

    I PMed the guy who got it for me in the UK... waiting for a response.

    The Carcoon is manufactured in the UK; the American importer in Texas was sold out for months, so I contacted a UK guy here on F-Chat for the product, and he got it to me fairly quickly. So I'm waiting to see if I can trade this power unit back for a US-spec unit. :(

    I'm no electrician, but most motors can be stepped down from 220 to 110. They just don't run as efficiently. And if I'm not mistake, European AC is 50 cyles/sec as opposed to our 60. Their motors should run faster, hotter, but still perform ok on our current I would think.

    Or is it simply I shouldn't think? ;)

    I'm not particular to green cars it just happened to be the one I found, I do like the color, but I like alot of colors on cars. After Noahs response I'm almost embarrased to say, I REALLY like that one. Not the interior but definatley the green exterior.

    On the subject of green F-cars there was a green 355 spyder at the concours/612 unveiling in Manhasset. Mike's car is metallic but this one was not a metallic color. Anybody see it? And does anyone know the name of the color? The owner didn't know.

    I think it's Verde Woodward or something like that? It's more of a British Racing Green...

    Yes, it was unusual for a Ferrari but very attractive. I had a Benz wagon that was very similar in color. Lots of people puked when they saw it but there were more who really liked it, as we did.
