288 GTO driving around the industrial estate I work in. Then on my way back from Greggs I saw it again.

Awesome car. My favourite ever Ferrari

I think that's the one that hails from Ponteland; it's a 'tribute' according to my 360 owning friend...

On the business park I work on, I've seen the following- Ferrari 360 spider, 288GTO and F40(same owner), Porsche 959, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8 V10 and R8 Spider.

Some rich bastards round here.

I followed an F40 in traffic once in essex in 1997. Only time i've seen one on the road, it shuddered every time he took off, like mike tyson not being allowed to hit anything, it was a ball of fury in a queue of pensioners.

Brilliant

Here you go Rog (not the one, no camera phone back then )

Come to the Petrolhead Nirvana meets at the Ace, get all sorts of nice rare stuff turning up. Including F40s, Enzos, Koeneggseggs (sp?) and the like.
