Finally 16...Just got my new '03 Ferrari 575M Maranello - Page 2

Yeah when I was driving with my learners permit I took country drives in it with my dad and put over 3,000 miles on it myself. Its an auto and its not a replica car...(thank God cause its my next car in a few days). My dad bought it with 15, 300 miles already on it so maybe the previous owners did a tranny swap. (On this kind of car I dont know why) And no...the car was never wrecked so unless it is factory automatic then the previous owners swapped. But how do you know for sure they only made manual F 50's? The one on ebay where I got the pic from was an auto and theyre asking 450,000 and with that kind of a price I doubt its a rep but I dont know. If what your saying is true then the previous owners did it...not me. But an auto tranny ups the value...thats the bright side...

well, i'm not certain about the manual transmission
but i have never heard of an F50 having an auto-box.

perhaps one of the more knowledgeable guys here could help.....

so anyway.
where are the actual pics of your cars then?

Dads signing the F 50 over to me Monday...my other car is gone and we never took a pic of it. The only car he has a pic of is the F 50 and the back of one of the Spiders. The one of the F 50 isnt a good one anyway...its got a sun spot or something in the middle of it. For some reason my scanner only post half of the picture on my computer so I gave up on it. The F 50 is exactly like the one I posted earlier minus the black stripe.

Great-King-Rat · 11-01-2004, 08:21 AM

its not a replica...

drunken monkey · 11-01-2004, 09:22 AM

the thing is, if i was a 16 year old kid with these cars in my garage, i'd have way too many pics of me with them.

heck, the car in my sig, it is the only example of that car in the world and yet i can still post a pic of it that i took.

how hard is it to take a pic of a car that is in your garage?

TexasF355F1 · 11-01-2004, 07:39 PM

Funny thing is I'm pretty sure I've seen both of those pics on the net somewhere. The top one looks frightening close to a dealership

Do us all a favor and come clean now instead of later.

If you had read all of the post i say that those are from ebay...the closest ones i could find to mine because my scanner only works half way...and theire mainly my dads cars and I hardly ever drive them all except for the F 50. He takes some pics I guess but he does alot of trading with the cars and some will stay and some wont for long...

drunken monkey · 11-01-2004, 09:22 PM

you don't have a camera of any sort?
and er, most film processing places these days can put images onto a cd for you.
no need to scan.

no camera?
you could always go get one of them disposable jobbies.
i mean, if your dad can afford all them cars then surely you can spare the $10-15 dollars it costs to get one and take some pics.

it's not a hard task.
i had to get some studio pics of models for my degree hand-in and i managed to get three rolls of film/photos taken and developed in about two hours.

how many days do you need to take a few pics?

i love this thread....it takes all the seriousness out of this site and puts in hilarity.....
first of all what kind of dad would hand over his keys to his f50 to a 16yr old before the keys to the 360....unless it is a cheap knockoff...

next we are going to hear that his dad just got a mclaren f1 or an enzo and is giving it to him for taking out the garbage and cleaning his room...

Great-King-Rat · 11-02-2004, 04:19 PM

My dad uses the cameras that just shoot the picture right out...hes always done that but he doesnt take that many pictured of the cars...takes them to a few car shows and some will stay for a week...some for a month...some forever. And yeah...a McLaren would be nice but its not like that.

SamBlob · 11-02-2004, 05:30 PM

This is his real "car":

He needs a cesspool emptier like this 'coz he's so full of $#!+...

Great-King-Rat · 11-03-2004, 12:17 AM

nope your right...ive been lying the whole time. i kinda made a bet with a friend to see how long i could convince people I owned all these cars...but you guys are smart...haha.

i knew it wouldnt last for long cause of my profile and due to the fact that I had no real cars to take a pic of. anyway...cutting it to the truth I own an 86 Mazda RX-7 and hopefully soon can get an older model Porsche 944 Ive been wanting.

now you guys dont go getting all mad, this was all fun and games but i lost pretty bad...i dont think i had anyone convinced at all...but wasnt anything convincing...¿¿
