    Yeah, I'd be a tiny bit excited too. ;) Not sure your experience with high performance cars, but don't push it at first. There was that one crashed by the FBI agent. Cold tires I think.

    Congrats!

    God what a car! Stunning sunny day and just enough of a drive to open it up and have some fun despite having to bring it straight into London for the night. Collected from DK Engineering quick rag around the M25 and in on the M40, pose through Knightsbridge and South Kensington (its the only time it will be in London might as well once:)) and then tuck it up safely underground. The exhaust valves are wired open and it sounds like a proper F1 car and is perfectly docile in heavy traffic too.

    Tomorrow i'm off to the country to do some actual driving for the weekend with my friend in his 599GTO. Ah life is tough:)

    I love the F50, but I prefer the F40 cause the twinturbo is quicker. The F50 is still compelling, that succession of gearshifts and the great sound. Very balanced car.

    Congratulations!

    IMO externally it is certainly the most beautiful of the four supercars, especially the tail is so wonderful
