• Ferrari F149 California (2009 - ) - New Ferrari 14 May 2008 (Forum)
  the absolute treatment round Donington on a free audio cassette with Fast Lane magazine back in the 80's. Some of the "drive by" clips were astonishing with the thing echoing off the armco. Barely silenced at all. Just heavenly. It's nice to hear they're still managing to retain the magic in spite of the EU

  it. They will only get delivery of the car on receipt of cleared funds. I will ask their bank to confirm that payment will be honoured (something the Scottish banking system permits but the English one doesn?t.) That commits the bank to the transaction.
