      Absolutely in total agreement with you. Awesome level of details which make the "car" something which is an alive masterpiece. Excuse my English is this is not exactly the way British will understand it, but sounds purely what I wanted to say to me.
      Cheers and please continue that way.
      I'd love to have the same with a Pagani Zonda F or Cinque, but might be challenging isn't it?

    The F50 is probably the greatest Ferrari. Super rare, looks beautiful and it’s probably fast as hell. I also like the F40 but there is something I can’t name in the F50 that makes it better in my opinion. Absolutely gorgeous car.

      I sat in one of these at a dealer back in '97, seeing it in person really solidifies it, it's like the biggest car ever when you see it up close. And as amazing as the F50 is, it's still not my dream car, I just got my dream car, a 2011 mercedes benz SL550, because it's a reality, the F50 is not a car anyone will ever own, it's at rothschild money now.

    Great video - it’s the most detailed and up close experience that most of us will ever get to an F50.
    Beautiful car, it must be such a blast to drive - assuming any of the collectors who own them ever do that.
    In my mind Ferrari has a reputation for maintenance money pit designs; as if they just don’t care, it’s someone else’s problem. This attitude is in distinct contrast with Porsche. Until the 991s, you didn’t have to take the back end of the car apart to service the engine. My guess is, that servicing a modern Porsche is still significantly less expensive than servicing a Ferrari.

    Having just completed my sixth viewing of this fabulous users guide, (mind you, the video came out two days ago,) I am still very impressed with the level of knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm Mr. Cottingham displays. I study all of the Ferrari Supercars in great length and detail, and I am still learning these legendary cars. Mr. Cottingham is a top ‘Professor.’ Impressive as well that a family run company continues to do things the way it should be. Naturally, I would love to see a users guide about the 288 GTO and the F40. The Ferrari Enzo and the LaFerrari would be equally as fascinating, but the manual transmission cars seem to have more ‘personality’ in some way. As always, very well done videos.
    Mille Grazie!
