Something you dont see..

[fatcyclist]

...often on a training ride. Commuting to work this morning I hook up with a friend (Ian McGregor), and in Bantry Bay we see this!!!

 

 

A very nice shiny and way expensive Ferrari...not going fast anymore...

 

I wonder what his insurance company is going to say

[Mudsimus]

Wonder whats the Rasta smiling about....http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/26/26_30_2v.gif

He just had a smoke to calm his nerves !

Where is the rest of the pick?

[fatcyclist]

Blame my crap cellphone camera

[fatcyclist]

Ok, added another pic to the post...

[Mudsimus]

And he's still smiling...surely it's not his car..

[Cois]

Eina.  Ek sal begin huil en nie ophou nie.  Wonder of Ferrari weer een vir hom gaan toestaan?

[fatcyclist]

I Googled a bit, and it looks like this was a F430. It's a V8, and capable of doing around 300km/h. The base price listing starts at $168 000, so if you do a quick bit of math you're looking at a cool R1 200 000 for it (roughly)...

what did he hit?

nO , its a ferrari 360 mondena, and go for between R1.8m to 2 mil.

[fatcyclist]

popeye, no...look at the part where Ian's handlebar is. That air vent fits the 430 more than the 360. The 360 vent is much more 'stretched'...

Thats definitely an F430. Theres one for sale at Ashleys for 3 million. In fact, it might even be the same car since there are only a handfull in sa.

 

Heres the link to the car for sale:

Actually, these start at R2.2mill in SA. This one seems to have a couple of extras.

 

Like that yellow badge on the front fender which costs an extra 8 or 9 k

 

Also, his brake calipers are painted optional red(not standard silver) which is also 8-9k extra.

 

If the owner ordered those, then no doubt he also went for the optional yellow(standard is red) rev counter which is, you guessed it, 8-9 k extra.

 

Welcome the the Ferrari Marketing Machine!!!!

 

Maybe then he also ordered the optional carbon ceramic brake discs which will add about 200 k to the price.....niiiice

 

How about the F1 transmission.....another 100 k

 

 

 

And then the d@@s goes and does this to it!

You're right....definitely an F430.

 

The reason Ashley's charges more is cos you can drive it of the floor the same day. At Viglietti you'll pay significantly less, but you'll have to sit on a waiting list for 2 years!

ok, i don't own one, so i was confused between the two.

 

 

 

will change my order. Do you get it cheaper @ VW ?
