Good idea. Would it be very first event (meeting of JW)? It doesn't even have to be Leipzig. Any excellent event within europe is OK actually.

Comon, let's organize an official JW meeting in Leipzig
im all for it.... however, financially i think it might take me a month or two without roomates beeing poor with money to fly out there

that video is nice, TT . one step closer to imagining what its like inside the Enzo. the engine noise brought memories back of Sergei Federov passing me like i was going backwards almost a year ago... not to mention the Tiff review of the enzo on fiorano...

the Testarossa seems to be running very rich? or was it just quite cold?

Probably the second since the driver started it and drove away w/o letting it warm up a little, but he just went to a petrol station down the road

Man you are one lucky dude!! A ride in an Enzo Ferrari must be really something, i´m sure this will stay in your memory for as long as you shall live.

TT, I can only imagine that only a few sharks have a bigger grin than you did after that ride. OK, after you got out of the nausea And the whole lot of you always find a way to suprise me, each time I check in when time allows. I come back from kicking in hours at work for the last few weeks, and you deliver this /beautiful/ piece of work, too, TT.

F*$# your supposed lack of familiarity with the English language, TT - I don't think anyone at Evo could have delivered it any better. The vision was perfectly clear on this end. And besides - those guys at Evo get to drive supercars on a hell of a lot more consistent basis than the rest of us do. You gave it to us as raw as you saw it, and it read the better for it.

And given all the time you put into this place, TT, it's about time Jabba and St-Anger sent you on a vacation away from the computer screen. All of the squinting at tiny font and prodding away leechers and mungmongers requires a healthy break, once in awhile.

Good for you, TT, you LUCKY BASTARD!

LOL thank you dude yes I really enjoyed this quick vacation LOL! Way better than a boring week to the sea for instance

And I agree someway about evo or anyway reviewers "used" to supercars... not that they can't make us understand what a supercar is about, but well, as you all understood, not a single review prepare me to the total shock a supercar create on the normal person I am

Great pics nonetheless. 8)

I looked at the pics again and the most obvious thing is that you can't see the gearbox like you can when you look at a 288GTO from the rear. I'm not sure about the a-pillar either. Well spotted I think. I completely overlooked it at the time.

Since im new here , i was surfing all the topics this morning and well just thought i needed to point that out

The Interior first its a 308s.
Second , its too small..Not as wide as a real GTO .
The wheels and the engine hood are wrong ( the GTO hood has much more vents ) .

And as stradale said , the gearbox isnt sticking oud from under the engine as it should in a GTO.
