An acquaintance of mine is an independent mechanic and always has something interesting in his workshop to drool over. I called in today as i was in the area and crawled all over a '98 550 Maranello. Knowing zilch about Ferraris I duly quized him and he rated the 550 highly. He told me that being front engined it was not favoured by purists, but was an acceptable daily runner. Docile around town with humungus performance on the open road.He had the head(s) off and the engine bay was very interesting. Made my 330 seem pathetic by comparison.
It looked stunning in a dark metallic blue with cream interior. He was not forthcoming offeriing to take me for a spin in it, so eventually i skulked off.
Sadly it wont fit in my garage.
The TR8 which would fit in my garage has now been sold. Probably just as well.
