ferrari help needed

<< < (2/4) > >>

paigeoliver:
Eh, most replicas are usually based around cheapo cars, not expensive ones like Jaguars. Most common donor cars for kit cars are VW Beetles, Pontiac Fiero's, Ford Pinto's and Chrysler Lebarons (although I think they only Lebaron kit turns it into a late model Mercedes clone).

I only mentioned it because there are a lot more kit cars running around out there masquerading as supercars than there are actual supercars.

Oh, sorry, I had also meant to post the actual link, and thought I had.

paigeoliver:
EEEk, a HARDTOP? If I was going to buy anything as insane as a Ferrari then it would be a convertible at least. Although I couldn't imagine parking a Ferrari outside my low rent apartments, it is bad enough that I have a Mercedes convertible out there.

A little while after I got it the guy who used to own the place dropped by and told me that in 15 years of owning that place he never had a tenant with a Mercedes, but he used to have one just like it.

Danny, was this during your 6200km test drive?  :P

Actually I don't think anyone has ever told me to drive only a certain amount of kilometers during a testdrive. They sure have never sat with me in the car. Guess I could drive across the whole country too. All 200km of it  8)

danny_galaga:

hehe. ive done two sneaky test drives in my time, but not quite THAT sneaky! one was a 4wd that a friend and i took out into the bush for a few hours before we took it back. the other was a buell motorcycle. didnt ride it all that long, but got it to 200km/h down a back road (",)

paige, generally soft tops are a lot slower than hardtops when it comes to those sorts of cars. to me its not a grand tourer if it doesnt have a roof! not that im ever going to be able to afford either...

patrickl:
I saw a joke about convertibles on Topgear. They were talking about how apparently 80% of convertibles are bought by women. When Jeremy Clarkson asks "Who buys the other 20%?".
