I used to work for a company that did promotions for Phillip Morris Tobacco (Marlboro) back in the days when the tobacco companies sponsored the F1 teams and we had a couple of Ferrari F1 replicas with the simulator kit on that we took to shows and events all over Europe.  :y 

It was a good fun job and I got to meet lots of lovely promo ladies!!  :-*  :)

You could probably buy a 20 year old back of the grid F1 car for the same amount. ;)
It would cost a bit more to run though. ;D

I went to the Ferrari F1 base at Marranello once and you can buy ex Ferrari F1 race cars from them.  It all comes as a package where Ferrari store, maintain, and transport the car to the track of your choice together with the crew.   :y

I didn't find out the cost, as I reckon it was a case that if you have to ask.......  ::)

I saw this on demo at the farnborough store on opening night, looked pretty good but a bit pricey.  For much less you could make a top end multi screen PC with bespoke chair, steering wheel and pedals.

Rather spend that money on real cars, Monaro, Jag XJR, XKR, Rangie,  + a shed load of fuel!

90k will buy a nice Rangie, but your gonna have pay extra for the fuel  ;D :)

Your slipping Dave....

The 5 litre petrol Supercharged Sport Autobiography I drove on Thursday past was a couple of quid shy of 110k.   :D

But it didn't half shift, especially on kickdown, 50 to ooooshafekker in just 'jings'....   ;D

The Brembo brakes do stop a 4.2 SC Range Rover, just...as can be attested to by various forum members  ::)

I do get why people buy them too, when I pulled up behind a Focus. The Rangie's bonnet was higher than Focus roof!  ;D ;D

Try the 2013 5 litre supercharged sport Josh. Worth the drive. And the brakes work. Can't recall the naught to ton to naught time but it wasn't much and it handles just fine as well.  :y
