    Oh la la, mais non, c'est l'inverse, don't let the French hear it :) I think I need to defend the French's creation here a bit :p They are actually on the finest cars shelf in France.

    This model was designed in 1984 and released in 1987 as a road legal car. The F40 is also from 1987 :) and make no mistake a F40 will have difficulty to out run this 6 cylinder Frenchie with the Stig as driver. It's also the first car with standard carbon brakes ;) This is the best and fastest car (still is) was ever produced in France. Made and driven for the Le Mans race. makes it actually a Le Mans racer and Le Mans racers are in general not pretty.

    Although they are exceptional cheap in maintenance they are very pricy to buy. Only the body is own custom. all other parts are cheap to get, Rear lights of a BMW 3, indicator lights of a Renault 5 Turbo, modified engine of a Peugeot 605 citroen XM and so on.

    I think I would like to have it next to my Mondi for the Fast days. Oh my! what did I just say :eek:

    Okay, alright, you've convinced me, calling it a bad Chinese Rolex was a bit harsh. The French has its moments of brilliance and I loved Paris when I was there! Hell, my Smart 451 was made in a Mercedes factory in France so I apologize to all my French friends out there. But if I'm honest, it still looks like a wanna be F car but I would concede it has its place in automotive history.

    Au revoir, mes amis.

    Now lets see the real deal, BEAUTIFUL !!!

    I'm an Italian freak and the F40 stays the best car ever followed by the Lancia Rally 037 :D

    Tijn, I love the Peugeot 205, always liked that car because it does not look like a copy of someone else's master piece. I also want to get my hands on a nice Citroen like this one, my grandfather had one back in the day!

    Cheers

    yes, Hank I've grown horizontally while my boy is reaching to the sky, lol. he'll easily hit 6ft or more, from my wife side of the family. My tenax Snap is fine, the Mondi in the foto is a T and not mine.

    cheers

    I'm thinking of putting aftermarket rims and tires on my Mondial. Wonder if the Ferrari center caps will fit any aftermarket rim. I can the rudest set of aftermarket tires and rims for a 3rd of the price of factory Ferrari. Any opinions on this?

    My opionion is the best aftermarket wheels for the Mondial 8 and QV are the 16" replicas from Superformance.

    Wheels & Tyres for Ferrari Mondial - Superformance

    A set of 4 wheels (7" x 2, 8" x 2) plus all new tires will cost less than 4 new TRX tires alone.
