is the Italia really that good  

I still think that the 485 Italia is the best looking Ferrari they have ever made, it looks good from any angle, makes the McLaren MC12 look positively plain and Lamo's big and slabby

[Cunning Plan]

Might save it and watch it on Thursday night / Xmas Eve so it isn't a school night and I can have a beer

Not completely convinced on its looks, but i wasn't a fan of the 360 and 430 either, for me their prettiest modern car was the 550, but the 458 is just so bloody fast. still rather have the 550 though, and that V12 sound...

k the beetle and the fiat do nothing for me but I want that Merc SLS!!

[Big Mouse]

Occasionally they'll make a Yellow one, too.

Well they change more than the Porsche.

Saw a 458 back in August...

[philoldsmobile]

with a september 2010 reg?

a few people came unstuck in 458's in the wet, forgetting its near 600 BHP in a light RWD car.

[F Body]

Didn't rate last nights programme much, some parts were funny but too much comedy and not enough driving

Wouldn't the September reg be 60?

Spotted this on the way home from work and put a thread up on Pistonheads.

Turned out to be my friends boss. He belongs to one of those motoring clubs for the rich.

Thought the bit where May got taken down was very nasty! Surprised he didn't see that coming though.

I wasn't their best 'adventure' was it... Top gear is mostly staged anyway (as Steve knows all too well) but this was mega staged
