My trip to Birmingham

[dem maser]

i saw that GTO in the pic....my favourite out of all of them....

 

[Andyk]

Is the yellow one with the black sills a GTO..If so its very nice....

 

[GransportFan1]

yep it is a GTO Andy, 330K, sold.

 

[Andyk]

That is a lot of money......

 

[GransportFan1]

yep, rather an F40 for 350k.

 

[Andyk]

Think I would as well Adam.....

 

[GransportFan1]

but for that money, i could have that LP640 R and a Scuderia.

 

[Andyk]

QP GTS and 911 GT3 RS....and a Gallardo Spyder for the sunny days or Grancab or..Well the list could go on..

 

[dem maser]

its a lot of money but a classic in future......

 

[GransportFan1]

i dont think it will Dem, i think a lot of Ferrari owners and fans think that it doesn't deserve to be called a GTO.

 

[dem maser]

i know but its still a GTO, will be rare and that means more money......

 

[Andyk]

Its in such limited numbers it will always be desirable in years to come..

 

[dem maser]

exactly what i mean andy, might not be the best but will be big money.......

 

[GransportFan1]

If i was fortunate to have the money, i wouldn't be queuing up for a 599 GTO, it is a car that doesn't know what it is, is it a racer or is it a road car???

 

[Parisien]

Only one for me.......I think this is a sublime car in so many ways........

I was talking to Geoff and Kyle at Shiltech about this just this morning. Thinking seems to be that the GTO drives itself (the 599GTO is completely undriveable without the assists turned on). You should get into it knowing full well if you don't treat it with respect it'll kill you! Same thing with the Italia. They've engineered the driver out of the equation. Seems that the Ferrari aficionados are now going for the 430 scud as this is the last of the real drivers Ferrari's, though this may change once the 458 Scud arrives. They also had an F40 up on the ramp, well when I say the car was up on the ramp, the engine was on the floor having the turbos changed (owner had blown them) £350K car..... stunning, brutal, focused beast of a car.

 

[Andyk]

Ultimate power corrupts Miles........

 

[GransportFan1]

458 is nice, has to be Yellow or TDF blue for me.

 

[dem maser]

458 is still the prettiest ferrari in years for me.....red or black with tan........

 

[Parisien]

I would regard the 458 as the type of car Michelangelo would have drawn.......eye achingly beautiful.......IMHO....plus it goes like stink........200 computers allowing.....................
