    ok thanks! I seen it a couple years ago and was hoping to catch a glimpse again. I love how they ask you not to take pics in there.

    The FXX is a brilliant car. I believe that it turned a 1:10 on Top Gear's track (w/Shumy driving). Considering the Zonda was somewhere ~1:19, that says something.

    Not an FXX, but this Enzo belongs to Aussie trucking transport tycoon Lindsay Fox. It's on permanent display at the Docklands Museum in Melbourne.

    Note the yellow painted cabin roof. There's a story behind the roof color I believe.

    It's a taxation benefit I believe.

    It makes a nice trophy, but it really should be on the track, not sitting there rotting.

    Also, two questions..
    Why don't they let you take pictures of the Penske car?
    (is it because they are a bit anal as to whom they let near the car or is it a blanket Penske Automotive US policy?.. Cause they don't mind in the UK)

    What's the "tax benefit" of ruining a car by painting it's roof yellow?
    ( I'm thinking it's something to do with because it's in a company's corporate colours then they get some sort of break calling it a promotional/advertising tool or even passing it off as company vehicle?)

    The black rims aren't that inspiring - IMO.
