    I think it's a lame attempt to misdirect attention from the hunts to some mystery supercar owner. Sorry I'm not buying it. It seems like the vids are made by a rally driver with access to rare and expensive cars. That describes John hunts son.

    Have you seen what other 250 GTO's went through?

    Honestly...some people on here wouldn't buy any car unless it was driven strictly once a year on a silk road and waxed with unicorn jizz every Tuesday.

    Because it is. It's only interesting because you dont see F50's that often. But other than that it's pretty boring.

    That was boring. I guess I don't get these videos. Why don't they do something interesting like; time the cars around a track with the same driver, on the same day and then we would independent data to look at and determine the speed differential of the super Ferraris. I guess it makes more sense to track dirt an F50 and Enzo around the farm. Yeah, that's the way to go.

    Yeah I just don't see the point or pleasure you could gain from this, never mind seeking gratification by publishing it on the net.

    I said before there is a time and place for everything.

    Delicate undercarriage vs off road conditions vs High speed and add in tyres and clutch to the equation, then multiply that by 2 = £££££££

    But I suppose its all relevant when ££££££££ are not a consideration.

    Anyone who has earned the position to own these cars and this property would never put a Tax the rich plate on the car.

    He would know the score as many others on this site do.

    Well it's a tongue in cheek thing to be fair..he's basically saying "Yeah, yeah, the rich should be taxed more..now, you keep complaining about it while I rally my million dollar Ferrari's around a dirt track".

    These videos are a form of bragging. "look at me!! I can afford to ruin million dollar cars and not care".

    He owns the cars. Let him play with them as he chooses.

    Clearly the only aim here is to be provoke a reaction from people. To me, both this and the Enzo vid are pretty pointless.

    my goodness, is there anything you people won't cry about?

    who cares? Its not your car, so why does this in any way affect your life?

    It affects me just as much as it affects you. Not at all. Why are you so concerned with enthusiast discussing some rich kid abusing a car we love? Thanks for adding nothing useful to the discussion.

    boo hoo, go cry about it.

    You want something useful? drive whatever you own however you see fit. worry not at all about how someone else drives theirs.

    Because off-roading F50's and then attaching them by the tow hooks to burn rubber and clutch isn't your cup of tea? Mine neither.

    I thought the video was awesome, but the tug of war part was pointless... the whole video was setting up for some sort of showdown between the two cars - it shoulda been something cool, like they both blast onto a drag strip sideways and run nose to nose to a photo finish. Tug of war? Meh.


    Nice to see the cars actually being driven with some gusto, though!

    What were they thinking?


    Should have used Clorox on the rear wheels during the "tug-of-war."

    A drag race would have been common. The tug of war was epic! :)

    .....and thread worthy. ;)

    Probably already said but if these two cars rather than tug of war found themselves battling at silverstone would have been cool as well. That or attaching huge prosthetic arms and having the cars arm wrestle would have been killer.

    Video was a joke


    Because I wasted about 10 minutes on the video and reading about it.

    God, I need to get a life.
