Excellent car Ian, nice Bike too, The previous one was very good when I saw it about..
The Jag looks like a proper gangster car..

 

Nice one, Hope you enjoy it.

Mate of mine has had one of these on order since they were launched, he's waited two and a half years for it so far, now they've told him it's ready he decides to build a garage before he picks it up

 

Nice one Ian, thats an amazing car, and what a colour

I cant wait to see it at one of the meets, or racing around next time im in Otley. I knew you would get one soon after speaking to you in Suburban a few weeks ago, the huge grin on your face let the cat out the bag .

Ignore the tossers with negative comments, you have worked hard for your money and well deserve to enjoy it.

Did you see the programme on Discovery other night showing how the cars are made in the Ferrari plant at Moranello? I have it recorded on the Sky box if you missed it.

 

Ta Raf,

I've been working on this one for a while getting the finance together so did'nt want to say anything until it actually happened...

I'd like to see the programme - can you record it to DVD-RW or video tape?

Ian

 

Top Stuff Ian Ever since i saw the 430 at the ring, its been one of my favourite cars.

You live to enjoy life, which is the best way, keep it going!

Awesome!

 

I've seen that before, great programme. Like it how they've got trees in the factory for the right humidity and ambience!

 

Thanks Steve,

When we going to see some photos of the Red Devil's new look?

 

Which new look?

Quality sticker job!! (as though I should expect anything less...)

Absolutley gutted for you Steve (actually got that sick stomach feeling looking at those photos) especially after all the hard/quality work that had gone into the build.

Do you know what caused it?

 

Yep, changing from 2nd back into 1st instead of 3rd, resulting in nearly 14000rpm, and snapped rod bolts letting the rod roam free!

 

Ouch

 

Im not sure if there is a way to record it because im not very technically minded, but pop along anytime your free for a beer and we can watch it, I'll call Martin round as I only live down the road from him now.

 

Sounds good to me.

Get a date from Martin and I'll work around it, since he's the difficult one in this being so busy with the new shop.

 

I'm sure I've not seen this before...

Anyway... Top Gear F430 piece with it against the M5 right at the end...

Oh yes happy 40th Ian you old git al catch up big style on your stagg do in the clubs of budda.

 

Saw the car last night at Squires, absolutely gorgeous

 

as above, top car mate

 

Thanks guys - I will be doing "test rides" at some point...

Detailer has just arrived - spending all day taking the scuffs/scratches out.

I still found myself drooling over some of the Scoobs in the club and that Morris Marina turned a few heads - prooves the point of a good car is a good car no matter what it is

 

Stunning car.

Ageless beauty wrapped around an almost erotically tuned engine, with an exhaust note to die for.

...so much for the Marina, that Ferrari thing looked okay too



My first ever car was a Marina Coupe 1.8 TC

It lasted 3 days

 

Fantastic car mate - get out and enjoy it whenever you can.
Forget comments from your neighbours and let them carry on with their sad lives and Vauxhall vectra's and Mundano's with 2.2 children.

Lifes for bloody living mate, we're only here but for a short time, before you know it you'll be 80 and dribbling sat in a chair thats if you dont cop for something first.

You work hard no doubt and obviously enjoy your fruits of success - top man i take my hat off to you.

when your 80 and dribbling you can look back and say 'i f**king did it'!!!!!

 

Oi...

I'm 40, and I dribble now!

 

What a car mate couldn't take my eyes off it last night i have never seen as many bikers jaws drop when you pulled up awesome

 

From where though???

 

It was funny. I actually thought I'd come to the wrong night when I pulled into the car park. Thank goodness I had a Ducati fleece on so I did'nt get linched!

 

Im really sorry I missed lastnight, would have loved to see the car, but had to work. Will catch up with you at some point Ian been so busy at work recently.

 

What mark said

 

very nice mate


did i here passanger laps/rides,,,,i want the button in the off position thou, lol

stu

 

Lovely motor indeed Ian....although if it was my money, I'd be buying a Lambo (coz I'm mental).

Just wondered......what do you do (work that is).....coz I just turned 40, don't have a bad job, but I'll not be in a position to go out to buy a Ferrari any time in the next 20 years.

Enjoy the car!
