you would think with all the saftey controls and traction controlsin that car, that dropping two wheels off the road would not end like this even at 80mph. he must have got a bit too excited on the steering wheel :teehee:

just cos u can pay for it, doesnt mean u can always drive it :(

Rarely means you can drive it unfortunately :( especially as this happened in an attempt to pass a car doing 80!! :mellow:

80mph? must have been a very twisty section of autobahn or he was accelerating from a standstill! last time I was driving there people in basic renault clios etc were mostly flat out at well over 100mph and anyone with a porsche or ferrari etc was a blur at somewhere over 220km/h. hell even in my little audi A6 it was a constant 100mph+ with some spurts higher to overtake...

maybe he should give up the ferarri and buy a clio? they seemed to have no problem overtaking at 80mph. in fact I'm not sure what you'd be overtaking at a measly 80mph though as even the trucks there are hauling pretty fast. maybe he was overtaking a pushbike?

How is it "one of the greatest cars of all time"? When clarkson reviewed it in the italian job it was no where near as precise as the 458, and when he reviewed it in the wet on top gear it looked horrific, bucking about like trying to drift a rotten stock 90s commodore

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
