Description So I'm at a stop sign about to make a right on Norwood Ave to get gas at the Sunoco when a red car with a big wing zooms by. Sure enough this monster also pulls in to fill up. An F40. @CarFan117 saw it last August cruising near Lake Takanassee. I asked the owner if he minded me taking a picture, and he said that it was no problem and to check out the inside, so I opened up the driver's side door. Only 9037 miles on it. He said he only takes it out once a year. I still can't believe it.
@OC33 Perhaps, but I feel as though through over 12 years of living in the area, given the car has ≈5,200 miles on it, I would have seen it at some point.
And yes, there are multiple F50s in Florida, but I only know of 4 including the supposed one on Jupiter Island, so there's still a good chance that's the one. Jupiter Island has multiple collectible Ferraris (F40, silver LaFerrari, and a gray 458 Speciale Aperta which I've seen myself) and I'm sure at least one collector would have connections with the dealer down in Fort Lauderdale.
Thanks for the tip! I'm surprised you remembered that comment of mine xD
Yeah that's what he told me at least. By the way, it seems like he always drives with his left hand in the air waving. He had his hand out when I saw him cruising just like in your post haha. Keep an eye out next summer!
That is a great story but at the same time it's sad that he only drives it once a year. L/F for sure! If I owned an F40 (which is my dream), I'd drive it as much as I could.
Yeah Chris, the owner was great. I also wish he drove it more
Thanks waddle! I hope you see that F50
Thank you hamoorsea!
Thanks Jackson! F40's have always been a favorite of mine too
Thanks Luke! Hope that you catch it soon
@loislois76 Thank you! I like the profile picture :)
Thanks FOSC! I guess he doesn't want to put too many miles on it? It's probably expensive to run too, but then again if you can afford an F40... If it were mine, I'd drive it all the time for sure
@mrauto No, it wasn't Fux. I wish it was though, I really want to meet that guy. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't own an F40. Do you know if he still does his Red Bank car show? I know he stopped bringing his cars to the restaurant...
Lucky is an understatement Steven hahaha. I'll post another shot soon
WOW! Supposedly there is an F50 on Jupiter Island near my spotting locations, but out of 12 years of spotting around here, it has only been seen once by my dad out of everyone I know.
What an awesome encounter! Kudos to the owner for being a cool car guy and letting you check it out inside, but it's a shame this car gets driven so little.
