Now where did I put that ready made smiley congratulating Mike on yet another car purchase?
Hey Mike - congrats as usual - well, what is it this time?

It does not make sense, you are supposed to be saving up for the Zonda, yet you keep spending the amount saved before you have enough!
Since you can't have that much saved yet (I'm guessing) it has to be a modest purchase. So something older.
but could be an X6M or if money was plentiful this month a CGT of Ford GT.
EDIT: there are certain rules about importing, something like no more left hand drive cars or something, so that narrows it down

Jeez , Mike ..You sure are an enthusiast with a shite load of stamina...
And a shite load of cash to go with it!
Let's start a new guessing game _ What business is Mike S involved in??
I'd start a poll but don't think that's possible now...

It's not a Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Lotus, otherwise it wouldn't have been in this section of Rennteam.
So, I'm going to guess: either an Aston Martin, or a Suzuki swift :-)

He only posted it in this section to confuse us!
Still put my money on the Superleggera.

It's a great car Mike, enjoy Looking forward to the pics and agree that yellow callipers on a black car are a must have. I met a really nice SL owner at an Italian car day a few weeks back and it was interesting comparing notes on our cars. His SL was in that battleship grey colour but still looked cool with the tall rear wing. He was amazed at the difference in feel that the Scuderia has just sitting in it. He offered to trade but I politely declined
I had a seat in an Enzo the other day...... what a car Doubt I'd plough that sort of money into one car though. The Zonda must be in another league. My Ferrari dealer keeps trying to get me interested in an F50 but I've told him to behave

Congrat's on the SL on Mike! My bet was that you'd opt for the CS first. When do you pick it up?
Hi Joe,
I didn't really have much of a choice. I only managed to find one CS and it was in an accident before. So I naturally declined, plus there are no low mileage CS in my country. They all have 12,000+ miles and those are the lowest ones.
Thanks though To be honest, I'm glad I rather got the SL!

Hi Isuk,
Thank you very much! Yes the Scuderia is a fantastic car and I'm sure it is better than the SL to drive I just like the idea that the SL's production has ended and there won't be anymore made.
The F50 is a dreamcar! I would buy one in a heartbeat! There are only 3 in my country and only one of them is worth having as the other 2 have been used on track or been in an accident. Problem is, none of the owners will sell period
Enmanuel:
Amazing car Mike, hope to see pictures soon. good to hear you went with the SL instead of the CS, the SL is much more rare. and black is great to, only 37 black cars were made worldwide. enjoy a lot the new toy and please post pics !!
Thanks Enmanuel! Wow. I didn't know that, where did you get that information?
Yes, I'll post some pics hopefully a bit later today.
@STRADALE: Thanks a lot
