Nice Photos!

 

+1

 

great pictures of a stunning machine!

the enzo does nothing for me from the factory but the performance is shattering.

jim's car is what the car could have been and now we are all fortunate to enjoy jim's vision first hand.

i was thinking as i look at the photos...

...i wonder what coco thinks or if he is jealous? years of custom commissioning and never a morthy machine being the result.

...jim does it once and the first time out of the gate...a veritable masterpiece!

we will all covet this car for a lifetime.

 

nice car!

thank you

 

Hell, what else can I say - the thing is stunning! Jim - job well done my friend. You've showed the world that custom coach building is very much alive! You don't need a Bufori anymore to have an individual automobile (thank God! lol) Fantastico!!

 

Nice photos. In one photo, it looks like when they painted James' car they got some overspray on someone's jacket.

 

See a few pages back

 

thanks alex

Hope to see you again down there James.

mess up your pictures?

I got that pic off of ************* photo of the day.

 

Jim is the P4/5 going to make an apperance in Dallas or Fort Worth, Texas area ever. I dont realy have the ability to travel to see the car and hope to some day see it around here. I know our lil cornner is not a prime car show area but we do have a few, LOL. Anyway hope to see this beauty someday, anyday.

 

...and they got it from <drumroll>:

I think his complaint is that the image quality has been reduced by saving it at a lower data rate. That always happens with the color red, as it doesn't compress well in the .JPG image format. Something happened to the image between the time you saved it from there and uploaded it here because the version they hosted as POTD looks much better than the one you shared in this thread.

I just don't like the way the tail was lengthened.

 

Ahhh - then your complaint is with this man I guess:

Right, back to Jim's P4/5.

Thanks!

The thing I don't like about any of the articles is they always mention a price tag. I specifically did not mention how much this car cost (on ferrarip45.com) because if that matters, then IMHO you don't understand what this car is about. On the same token, I suppose these magazines appeal to a wide variety of crowds so...

 

Agree. Not relevant at all.

 

On the contrary, I do think that price does have a small factor in it. Showing Jim's passion. I know you can not put a price tag on it, but it is apparent that he didn't take any short cuts to make his car any less than perfect.

The truth of the matter is that most people do only know the big things.
-It is a Ferrari Enzo that has been rebodied.
-It was made by Pininfarina
and lastly
-It cost 4 million dollars to make.

In my opinion, that last statement will make anyone's jaw hang wide open.

You guys are very right saying that it is one of the least important factor of the final car, but in the long run, it was also the determining factor of how well the outcome would be.

I've seen her, and price wouldn't matter one bit to me if I was assured that my car would look remotely close to how well Jim's came out. Jim had no reassurance other than the sketches made. That is passion, which is the biggest factor.
