F50 Drive

Boxer · 01-07-2009, 10:10 PM

Finally got a clear sunny day over the weekend and I took the F50 out for 1st time in over a month. Started right up. As it was very cold and had not been run in quite some time, I let it ilde for a good 15 minutes to get up to tempature before heading out. Drive was fairly short given that it was 0 C out and I still have it set up as a Barchetta. Also the roads where borderline frozen and I did not want to push the car to much. Basically when my ears are completely frozen, it is time to head back. While not exactly a epic drive, it was good to get the F50 out and give it a bit of exercise.

If nothing else, the look of other peoples faces when they got passed by a open F50 in the middle of winter was priceless.

Other than a helmet, not much will stay on your head when you flex your right foot in the F50.
