There is a Ferrari outside my window

Behind my own (rather dirty) car in fact. It’s not an ordinary Ferrari but it is a Ferrari Formula 1 car. It has a sticker on it saying Michael Schumacher and having looked it over rather closely it is the real deal. I think it is an F2005 as it has a stepped rear wing. Also the 2005 being one of the worst Ferraris ever probably means that Ferrari paid someone to take it off their hands. I took lots of photos but I forgot to bring my card reader so I will post them tomorrow night.

The irony is that I’m not a Ferrari fan and would actually go so far as to say I despise them. Still and all it was nice to see it up close. No chance of taking it for a spin though as it didn’t have an engine.

I almost forgot! The reason it is parked in the hotel car park is that there is a bit of a shindig on by tyre supplier ‘Modern Tyre Service‘. This pair were here too but I didn’t manage to get any pictures of them :(

Update – You can see the pictures here

    Robert if it had an engine you could have roared up to my door and woken the neighbours out of their slumbers!

    Just imagine the whispers…..

    I could probably do a good job of that in my own car Grannymar!

    I wouldn’t like the Ferrari though. There is only one seat!

    Hate that.

    I had to sell my TR sports car when #1 came along :(

    Safe home, as always.

    I’m going to do the opposite Ryan. I’m going to celebrate our first by hopefully buying an old Landrover to restore.
