I got some leftover Bondo. That stuff will fix any body damage.

“Lando” is a real name? I thought it was something George Lucas made up.

Was at the Monte Carlo Casino one evening, 10 parking spots in front, 9 Ferraris.

Yup. A little Turtle Wax and you're back on the road

I was at a casino hotel in Las Vegas last week. We had to park our UHaul van in VIP parking because of the height. When we came out in the morning, every $100 VIP spot was filled. With vans and pickups.

No Ferrari or Bugatti’s.

You would sort of expect a F1 driver to not let any high performance car get away. Most must seem like a Priaps compared to his company car.

Unless a bit drunk......

A F40 is not all that fast any more. 0-60 in 3.7 sec, 1/4 mile 11.7 sec. A current lower end Ferrari 296 GTB is 0-60 in 2.3 sec, 1/4 mile 9.6 Sec.

The F40 is just very rare.

I saw a F40 once at a car dealership in Manama, Bahrain back in 1992. I did not check the price.

He should take the insurance money and buy a more sensible car.

Maybe an used Pinto or a vintage Rambler station wagon?

There are no “hero switches” on the F-40. No traction control, no ABS, no ESP.

Nothing but pure driver skill to keep the shiny side up.

Or not.

But it wasn’t Lando. He’s in Dubai.
