Someone I was talking to the other day suggested, that it might be both quicker and cheaper to jump on a plane, and deal direct with ferrari. No idea if its true. But if you havent looked at it might be the way to go?

You certainly sound like you're prepared to wait and I have no doubt you'll love the car. Infact, you have an RS6 to cruise around in for the moment, that's cool enough for most of us :P

Your only options are get something else or wait... i'd wait personally, not much else on the market that is as good in my opinion.

Funny how ppls get the impression that a H pattern box is a real box, European love this box. It's the old school box in my book and it damn slow to boot, also resale of H pattern box on a Ferrari is some what about $50 000 less than you would pay for a F1 box, although as a new car option, it's only $25 000. Also Dave, Ferrari don't deal with privateer, unless you run a race team. I've looked into bringing one in from o/s. Too many problems.

Just for the record, as implied in another post, I'm not a drug dealer. The profession doesn't make enough money, well atleast here in Oz. anyway, and I like my freedom in life.

well I would love to see it when it does arrive then as they are one beautiful car and just listening to the engine is better than any music you could wish for. I admire the fact that you are getting one and that you have had to work for it as it will mean you will appreciate it more. Hope to meet you on a cruise one day

this isnt that bad an idea.

or possibly try find one available in Europe/UK.

I have a friend who has imported my Japanese cars for me.

And has imported some exotica from HongKong etc.

Hes off to London in a week to pick up a GT2 from over there.

If your after something so hard to get, its defo worth looking into...

Or just try and find an alternative...

:P

    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
