New Poll!  
  The right answer to the last poll was ofcourse: Ferrari 408, 85% of the 170 voters had it right!

The 408 was built in 1987 as the first 4 wheel drive Ferrari ever! The concept car had an aluminium chassis that
only weighed 83 kg! The 408 was powered by a 4 litre V8, midengine.
 
 
Yesterday at Fiorano  
 

Michael Schumacher was very pleased with the F2004. He drove the first laps yesterday at Fiorano and said that the car felt really good. Today he will also be testing at the homecircuit of Ferrari.

First test of the F2004  
  The new F2004 drove the first laps today at Fiorano, with Michael Schumacher behind the wheel. He drove in 39 laps in total and his fastest lap was 0:56:835.
At the same time Luca Badoer was also testing, but he drove the F2003-GA. He drove a total of 79 laps and was about half a second slower than the German.
Both drivers will also test tomorrow on Fiorano.

ItalianHorses...how to built a model  
  A great site by Alex Kustov, ItalianHorses.net. Filled with info about how to built a great (Ferrari) miniature. All with nice and detailed pictures. What about tutorials with info about:
How To Use Flocking to Simulate Interior Carpeting;
How To Use Foil to Enhance Window Trim;
How to Apply, Polish, and Wax Your Paint to Perfection

And the result...well just look at the details of this Enzo...a kit from Tamiya! Isn't it fantastic?
 
 
Testing continous  
  Michael Schumacher was for the second day testing at Valencia yesterday. Again he was working on a test for the tyres, but also some aerodinamic adjustments. Still driving in the F2003GA he was (again) the number two of the day. This time Montoya (1.09.306), in the new Williams, beat the Ferrari (1.09.427) time, but with a really small margin.

960 HP Testarossa  
 
Let's say you are one of the lucky ones who ownes a Ferrari Testarossa. A nice black one. You drive it and have lot's of fun. Although...you think it's a bit slow...(?)
So what do you do? You let Norwood Performance add a bit spice to the engine:

Twin Turbo Charged to handle up to 1500 HP currently tuned down to 960 hp+ at Crank - 880 hp+ at Wheels - up to 22 lbs of boost. 200+ MPH on regular 93 octane Chevron pump gas!

And then you say: "This is a sick machine, I'm scared of it, but I get in and spook myself anyway...". And then put it up for sale at Ebay: US $45,803.00

The serialnumber is 0165 EL. It was built in 1952. Supposedly it's now located in Australia (Dutton Sporting Cars?). Does anyone have recent pictures of it??
