Having said that, if you were given the choice between two identical jobs, one working for Ferrari and one for Ford, which one would you choose?

They probably don't make that much but I am regularly jealous of the people who work at the Ferrari dealership down the street from my apartment. They get to drive those things from the dealership to the lot, phwoar.

Work in Italy enjoying exquisite Italian wines, beautiful country side, delicious pastas and charming women or work in Detroit where I will likely be stabbed and come home to my copper wires stripped out of my walls. Very tough decision, I'm on the fence about this one.

Has anyone mentioned that McLaren can't find a title sponsor and Zak Brown, the so called sponsor-god of F1, is just trying to spin it so the story doesn't come off as negative as it does and that Ferrari is still FerrAIDSri?

Very interesting info about Ford. Speaking of which, Henry Ford was a Nazi.

I have a Ford competition book written in 1965 just before Ford skull hosed Ferrari with sections written by Jim Clark, Stirling Moss, Alan Mann, Bruce McLaren and Denis Jenkinson.

I like the part where it takes the team with an unlimited budget 3 years to make a car that can finish Le Mans.
I also liked the part where a fat gently caress got so pissed off Ferrari didn't just give him the entire company on a platter that he decided to create an unlimited budget team that would promptly embarrass the hell out of him for 2 years before finally finding a way to screw over a guy on their team who was on the verge of making history.

It's funny because when they bought the current Ford GT back to WEC they sandbagged so loving badly at Spa so they could get a favorable BOP for LeMans. Plus they are still too bitchmade to sell cars to privateers. Americans, just like the terrible Brits and subhuman Australians are all garbagemen.

It's an MR2, I can tell by the seats and the centre cubby thingy. Plus it's RHD with NZ plates.

My mate sometimes gets a F355 rep at his garage. It's got gigantic loving spacers, the taillights are fiberglassed into the rear panel meaning changing the bulbs is impossible, water leaks into the rear boot from the single piece engine lid. The frunk section was hillarious when I opened it up with the Ferrari headlight covers literally stuck on top of the standard ones.

Basically it was a massive piece of poo poo and the funny thing is that he ended up needing to have the engine rebuilt because of previous owner fuckery. I don't know why you'd even consider buying someones completely half arsed Ferrari rep let alone spunk even more money trying to make it less of a massive turd. I'm sure by the time he's added up the costs he could've bought something that was actually good.

My old man ran a 355 back when they were ridiculously cheap (£30-35k, around 2006). It was absolutely sublime but holy poo poo the running costs.

The first half of the 24 hour war which documents Ford's frustration post Enzo walking out of the meeting and promptly goes into Ford getting shitcanned for 2 years from the Ford perspective is a high point.
