Great pics of a legend !
I have been passenger in one of the few that came to Sweden for a couple of rides. Think it was back in `88 - almost brand new car. To day the most awesome rides in my life. I still remember the exact road stretches an curves and the ridiculous capacity of that car in terms of accell and high speed - yes, and the sound.

Beautiful car, I remember when I saw that along with a GT and GT2 at Pfaff Motors up here. Absolutely stunning cars, I just tell myself "One day."

Okay im gonna say it.
For the money I would take the F40 in the background, and im not a huge Ferrari guy. I have never been a big fan of the 959. I respect its technology and performance but I think it looks like a 911 in a bad ricer body kit. It just doesnt do it for me. Its a legend in its own right, its just not for me.
