Your a bad bad man RufMD haha. My o My, I saw the first picture and was thinking oh maybe another 360 owner, maybe a CS, or maybe even a 550. Then you show inside the trailer and my eyes shot open and no words. A purchase of a lifetime, enjoy it, drive it, have fun. Do we have first time driving impressions yet?

Thanks Marc, appreciate the good wishes. This F40 is not the LM version. Only 6 true LM's were made by Michelloto in Italy, and they are up there in price. This has a Tubi LM exhaust which is essentially straight pipes from the cats back. (I will post a pic of the engine bay)
As far as the F50 goes, I don't think I covet that as much. interestingly, the fellow I bought this from has an F50. Said he drove it once and put it up on the rack ("what a bore")...I've heard those comments before, but when I drove the F50, i certainly didn't find the experience boring !

Congratulations on an amazing car. Everytime I get on the computer, I go to this thread to see your car again. Just wow.
And the guy you bought your car from is probably real sick of the round tail lights. Him and I should trade cars.

Congrats.
I still remember the first time I saw it....I was on my trusty bike going to my buddy’s house and our neighbor just happens to be backing his out of the driveway.
DAMN, its good looking
