    yeah, I figured. I'm not a big fan either, but I do love me some Han Solo/ Millennium Falcon Kessel Run scenes. I was just amused at your "What are you talking about?" response. :D

    Not very convenient if you are servicing wheels, tires, and suspension components.

    The F50 doesn't have conventional jacking points.

    Normally, you can only raise one wheel at a time using one of 4 designated "holes" on the underbody that accept an adapter.

    To jack the entire car up, you have to remove the gigantic rear undertray and then use appropriate locations (e.g. the engine/suspension) as the rear jacking points. However, to remove the aforementioned undertray, which wraps around the rear wheels, you have to raise the car off the ground otherwise the undertray can't slide past the rear wheels.

    The most straightforward way to solve this chicken-and-egg problem is to raise the car by the wheels: either as shown in the picture (through the hubs) or with a 4-point lift with a "fork" for each tire. That way, the undertray can just be dropped straight down. If you then need to also remove the wheels, you have to switch to using the engine/suspension as the rear jacking points.

    Because Ferrari.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

    As I said just a page ago:

    "106765, a missed opportunity at Pebble Beach last August, since I sold it, I've had 2 different people call with stories of regret about not buying this utterly spectacular example at a great price, I can only surmise they never actually inspected the car themselves but delegated it to others who failed to report it's exceptional condition or didn't have the experience for comparison."

    No worries, it seems a lot of people have missed this F50, anyway it will remain here in California.

    You are correct kind sir. I am new to Ferrari ownership and a member of Fchat. I see pictures online then repost because everyone hasn't seen every produced Ferrari model like you. It must be wonderful and fulfilling to know everything and everyone since Enzo, and then remind people everyday, that you know everything and everyone since Enzo. If I locate and verify information, I will share it with my repost and not make it up like some so-called sponsors...

    Sorry but with no information or caption whatsoever, we might as well go on Google and type and have a look at whatever comes up randomly.

    People here are here for information, so to be post-worthy, at the very least images ought to be accompanied with location information, better still with additional content information, yet better still with date information, and even better still with chassis number information if possible or appropriate.

    These are resource threads (with technical, historical, production & market information supported by illustrations & images).

    Unlike you, Ferrari Supercars are my business, so it's my business as a legitimate sponsor who's put his money where his mouth is to be here and share whatever specific learned knowledge I possess for the benefit of others at no cost to anyone, yourself included, so look forward to that on a regular basis. Meanwhile the only thing that's being made up is your post count, that said we appreciate your offer to "locate and verify information" and share that, we'll stand by for receipt of same.
