also as iv worked on a few ferrari's, i do think the 430 is the most well built one so far, everything is quality and when you take them apart you know they was hand built

F40 for me, for now and forever! Always been my absolute dream supercar!

As Clarkson says "It's a go-kart with a twin-turbo V8 engine..."

And just...look at it

Didcoop, the F40 is a marvellous machine indeed but what are your thoughts on the F50?

Ferrari Dino for me please.

And a big NO to the F360. It's just not very good.

Wouldn't that be a Fiat Dino? Either way it's on my list, along with the 308GTB (the lightweight with the plastic body, please).

Sorry, my mistake - early morning. Yes, that would be a Fiat. It's OH so pretty though! And small enough to go for a spirited drive without worrying about being over the other side of the road, unlike many a modern supercar.

Plastic is a good idea - you can poke it out again should you dent it!

So if my numbers came up, I'd be getting one yes

The Fibreglass 308 always gives me a dry smile - As an Esprit owner the Journo's always pan on about the fact that its 'plastic' and yet they somehow seem to forget about the 308 GRP and the principles of lightness.
I do really like the 348 Greg! I know its always panned but it still looks modern and fine to me.....
Actually might be considering one soon so I know whose brains to pick thumb

It has to be the F40 for me, but then being the only forum member to have had a ride in one I couldn't choose anything else.

Nope, right 1st time. It's a Ferrari Dino, this would be the Fiat Dino...

Pretty, but not quite as nice as the Ferrari

I thought the Ferrari one (the one I posted a pic of) didn't get Ferrari badging or whatnot.

Was it officially called a Ferrari? I know it *is* one, but just wondering whether they claimed it at the time..

When it came out it wasn't badged as a Ferrari due to it not having a big v12 in it. I think plans were to use Dino as a separate marque to sell the smaller cars through but it never happened.

The 206/246 Dino was Enzo's tribute to his dead son Alfredino utilising the V6 that he initally proposed. The car was never supposed to have any Ferrari badges but they nearly all do now as add-on's. The 308 GT4 intially was also only badged as a Dino but customer demand saw the Prancing Horses appear......

Sorry Brewster - as per my earlier post - I've been in an F40 too thumb
