    Why is that a shame? I remember seeing his 456GT for sale too. It was modded to fit him also. The man can't physically fit into one, yet he seems to love them enough to try. Can't fault him for that.

    What?

    Cool thing is it has 54k miles. At least he enjoys them.

    This is the second time the car has been up for sale in the past two years. So maybe he did not put the miles on it, maybe the last owner did.

    that rear stereo panel/garnish ruins the cars lines IMO

    wheels/brakes are pretty cool though

    I'd sure like to know of any pro athletes and what F-cars they own AND drive, because I am the size of an NFL OT and I'm shopping for a 355/348.

    But alas, it sounds to me like the only athletes that can fit into a Ferrari are jockeys, MLB shortstops, NBA 'small' guards, and NFL defensive backs....

    If you didn't get my drift, I can't help you.

    I suppose I should have listed QB's, Kickers, NHL players (the small guys like Pavel Bure sized, etc.), golfers, tennis players, ping-pong players, volleyball players, figure skaters, gymnasts, sunday school teachers...

    The average NFL QB seems to be around 6'4" and 225 lbs. Not exactly small.

    I feel sorry for Whisky, it has to be frustrating for him to fit. It has to be a hight thing:( I am 6ft and 266lbs and i fit well in my 355. Although i have seen a dude of 6.4ft and 300lbs fit ok.

    As a passenger or a driver ?

    I'm 6'4", and 340 lbs, I'm not roly-poly fat with a huge beer gut, I'm just an all-around big guy from my head to my toes.

    ZONDA - I was kinda having fun with you, I meant no offense.

    I fit as a driver and my mate also as a driver. We both are body builders so there are no fat F***s here;) There is good leg to wheel space with my 29-30 inch thighs. But the seat bolster sides get destroyed easily, both seat and seat back. The seat sides can be a little uncomfortable when the car is new to ya. My chest size is 54in and i feel comfortable now the seats have broken in:) I feel sorry for any one lot bigger that me and my mate, life must be s** not to fit:( But on the bright side Shaqs old 355 is for sale so buy that and stop ya moaning:D:D

    oh hell, I'm not moaning, I 'spose I could starve and get down to like 250, which I oughta do anyway.

    I'm almost the opposite of you: I eat very little - my Dr. and a nutritionist are shocked at what I eat (content and portion - good food, and not much of it), problem is, I NEVER work out. I used to play 2-4 hours of tennis or basketball every other day, and golf twice a week, and now I don't. MY fault.

    Sorry to go off-topic on this thread, I'll stop now.
