Jeroen - not a chance.

More so I thought people got sick of this thread as I dragged it out.

The girl in the pic was taken when Eric16M owned the car - notice different calipers which is understandably hard to find in that picture.

Boxer - Thanks it's nice to have a pair but I need a straight flush ... back to the hunt

550 or 575 limited production / Stradale / Enzo - sticking with the same silver grey special paints if possible.

I hope you have better luck on your Enzo hunt than I did. What about a 599 GTO?

That's not good - prior damage issues or?

The GTO is too new - after the 16M I prefer going back in technology and 500 hp range is plenty.

After having the CL65 at 630 hp that much horsepower exhausted any fun roads.

These cars pushing 700 hp - owners are going to get themselves in a lot of trouble. I don't care how good the driver is if anyone uses it - it will bite.

It sounds like what you really need is a 513 bhp F50. There are a few around that would fit you color theme.

You should try the Aventador, I pushed the heck out of that car at Exotic's racing, and it has so much grip, it never bit me. The 670SV's are hitting 369k asking prices also.

LOL, I had, actually still do, 4 silver exotics. Now 4 silver, 3 black, and one incoming yellow. And people say I have gone nuts.

Do you mind disclosing what happened? Was it a dealer-centric problem, or was the car itself misrepresented? Perhaps there's already a thread to which you could link in lieu of reiteration.

With any Ferrari - but especially Enzos - I urge all of you to run the VIN past me to see if I have any history that's not been disclosed.


I need an Aventador!

In about 18 months should have more garage space and I will start taking all this more serious.

I would have bought the damaged F50 and expected it to be ready in the proper time frame.

Just need to get out more and see touch and feel the F50 and likes.

Let's face it - there is a lot worse things we could all do.

Cars are expensive and you are most likely nuts

But talk to some yacht owners or plane owners and see how much enjoyment they get after they write checks for another zero or two.

Car guys IMO get the most bang for their buck at all levels.

Feel free to post your silver and black.

Long term plan - need more space first.

At this pace maybe I should add an ADA ramp.

Growing up my family owned a few boats. After seeing a few of the bills on those, cars are cheap.
