    A Ferrari 348 has recently started showing up in my local area. I had a little chat with the owner on one occasion and directed him to FerrariChat, but that's the only time I've gotten to see the car up close. I think it's probably put away for the winter now as haven't seen it for a few weeks (and it's starting to get colder), so looking forward to spring now. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    F1 FER shows as a 2004 Ferrari 5999cc according to an AA data check, which would be an Enzo.
    1 FER shows as a 2010 Ferrari California according to an AA data check, this I believe is owned by Chris Evans. --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexpenfold/4506919947/

    Anyone own the TDF 360 that lives on Alma Road or the Red 430 Spider always parked on the street between Ebner street and fullerton Rd, both in Wandsworth? Guessing the 430 owner lives in Nick Cound's old apartment !

    I saw a metallic grey Ferrari F50 on the M3 to Basingstoke at lunchtime. It really brightened up my day! :D

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    C'mon guys... an F50 isn't worthy of a response?! :p

    Ok, I realise I didn't get a picture of it, which might have been a bit more exciting for you. :eek:

    Firstly, there was a bit of a speed differential and, secondly, I didn't have a camera. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Woohoo - recognition! :D

    Actually, that was the first F50 I've ever seen on the road or in person. Pictures really do not do that car justice, it's stunning. :cool:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Here's one for £425,000 at a Ferrari dealer in Swindon: Ferrari F50

    I have no affiliation, relationship, or experience with the dealer, so I'm afraid you're on your own on that front. Good luck.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Saw these yesterday actually...

    Two Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales and a Ferrari 458 with a carbon fibre roof! The owners were kind enough to open the engine compartments for lots of lovely pictures of the engines and even allowed me to sit in the drivers seats. :D I promised to obscure the license plates before posting pictures, so I have some work in MS Paint to do first before getting them up here. Stay tuned... ;)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Nice meeting you Andrew, shame we had to leave but just had to sample the roads up there. Ended missing a turning and adding an extra couple of hours onto the trip but it was worth it. Went via Glencoe !!

    It was great to meet you too Rick! I had my own little jaunt on the country roads in my MINI on the way back home. :cool:

    I've not managed to get my photos off my camera onto my computer yet, but hopefully will get around to it soon. Might have a look into that as soon as the GP finishes. :D

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I got them posted, I thought they deserved their own thread though. ;)
