Red face Saw My First Ferrari Enzo(s)

Was in London at the weekend and was walking up Park Lane and as I was coming up to the Dorchester Hotel I spotted 2 Ferrari Enzos parked out the front 1 red and 1 black, red defo looks the best IMO.

There were also a couple of other 'cheap' runarounds parked with them like 2 Lamborghini Murcies and a RR Phantom

I saw a red one twice last summer on its way Top Gear in Dunsfold. Having that in the rear view mirror was like looking at a large pic of Thrust SSC 2

I was lucky enough to drive one last year, it was a fantastic experience. Covered around 8 miles on a private track.

To say it shifted would be an understatement and the noise from the engine still gives me a 'woodie' now.

Any excuse to post this photo

Spotted in Monte Carlo at the rally last year. Even in MC, where every 2nd car is a Ferrari - THIS stopped the traffic



Also spotted one near Folkestone a couple of weeks ago - sounded fantastic
