Probably a repost, but it's still cool...

The legendary Ferrari F40 supercar has celebrated its 20th anniversary in real style this year with a series of very spectacular events held across Western Europe and North America; and now Japan has got in on the act with an event held at Mount Fuji.

When it was introduced in 1987 (with its production of 1,315 units running through to 1992) the F40 was the fastest, most powerful and most expensive Ferrari sportscar ever to come out of the gates of Maranello factory.

The 'no compromise' F40 with its potent 2.9 litre V8 twin turbo engine has since then entered Ferrari 'folklaw' and its 20th anniversary celebrations this year, running alongside the marque's 60th anniversary programme, has seen a string of events being held to honour the timeless supercar. One of the celebratory events was the showing 40 cars that Ferrari GB and the Ferrari Owners' Club gathered together at Silverstone this summer, the red coloured cars then parading round the famous circuit.

As the year draws to a conclusion it is the turn of Japanese owners to come together this month with a spectacular display of these awesome machines. In superb weather conditions on 2nd December, no less than 36 F40s, including several examples of the F40 LM race-bred version, gathered for a trip down the expressway to Mount Fuji, delighting onlookers who had turned out to see this glorious cavalcade in motion of what is regarded as Ferrari's most evocative modern day sportscars.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
