If Leno ever wanted an enzo, he would have one.
Or the F40.

Still IMO the greatest Ferrari ever...

I think that's the one with the helicopter engine.


Isn't this weird? A bike with a helicopter engine. An old 30s roadster with a tank engine. An Oldsmobile Toronado with a Vette motor and suspension. I love some of the ideas he comes up with...and having the "resources" to pay his staff to bring these dreams to life.

I'd like to take a spin in his Ariel Atom. Those things are sick. Especially when you get the one with the blower on it. 300 hp in that little thing.

RE: the Enzo

I remember on that show "Rides" (Discovery Channel), they said that when they started the waiting list for the Enzo... you had to have previously or currently own(ed) a F-50.. (again, supposedly according to the show "Rides")

Too bad he had to "settle" for the other 3

People have tried selling them on ebay anyone can get one if they have the $$ guys... that's just one of many auction sites who have sold them.\

btw, I can't believe I just read this thread. I also can't believe the complete retards we have on this board.


Although I think I fall into the retard category since I am obliously oblivious to the dates on posts.
