The finish on the marketing car was awesome, the panel gaps on the production cars (Bear in mind they knew their jobs were fecked!) were bollocks!
They where build by Detomaso / Qvaule / MG X-power in Italy where they not ? did the chinese get them as park of the deal ?

Saw a 599 at Graypaul - looks way more impressive in the flesh than it does in pictures.

After seeing it a 430 doesn't hold a candle next to one. Awesome bit of kit..........until i got shown the Carrera GT :twisted:

I saw a 360 yesterday with no front plate. Must be a Ferrari thing.

Or possibly an anti average speed camera thing.

Does anyone know the legal implications of a sticky on numberplate on the elise ?

Would be interested to know how they "get away" with taking the number plate off. Surely the type of car you drive has no bearing on the legal requirements?

Dodgy and cool at the same time 8) Is it a case of the Super Rich just not caring - pay the fine and carry on as normal?

So you haven't noticed the large numbers of Elise/Exige owners with missing front plates then? :roll: :wink:
