    Hello to all

    I remember a thread about an abandoned F40 somewhere in the gulf.
    Anyone remembers?
    Any idea of where it is now ?

    regards

    That aint it, its a car stored underground somewhere in the middle east if i recall...but the dirt on the paint is very similar, and no flats on the tires.
