Such a rare find - had you organized the shot with the owner, or completely random?

That GT4 is utterly delicious.

Well done.

Random spot but was chatting to owner for a while as I recognize him from Cars & Coffee. Trying to get his cars out for photoshoots but its so hard to do. I'm either not good photographer or i'm not 'famous' enough to get photoshoots with any supercar in Ireland.

GT4 is from Cars & Coffee too. I'm trying to get photoshoot with any supercars with no success yet.

Thats the maybach logo has nazi connections apparently.

The connection to the nazi logo was made because the Maybach logo has 2 Ms in it. In the same way that the swastika can be said to be made of 2 rotated letter Ss.

Of course Maybach built engines for nazi tanks, being a German company. In the same way that Daimler Benz built trucks and plane engines used by the Nazis.

This idea was only first put out there in the last 15 years.

Buyers would be best stick to Hugo Boss, VW, Porsche and BMW to avoid any of that history.

It's unreal! Can't go wrong with a nice blue, especially on a Ferrari!

Yes, but presumably it's meant to read as stated.

Pronounce the 2 as it is meant to be and it reads "A bit too blue"

That colour on the 812 Superfast is called Blu Elettrico which I'm pretty sure is a triple layered colour and a paint that costs around 15k pounds.

Where do thet get those prices from ? For 'normal' people it's price of cars they driving. Well I paid that for mine and I got whole car not just 10 litres of paint.

And then they ruin the appearance of the car with awful black wheels

It's an 812 Superfast, so I reckon it's supposed to be read as 812.

Win-win so.

I'm presuming that Ferarri has a personal plate, but do they and UK plates in general not need to have the EU country identifier?

For travel outside the UK they should have it on the plate or have a GB sticker on the car.

If someone say paint cost 15k, I understand it as it's 15k extra comparing to standard paint as you can pick 'free' color as well. Mad money for me.

Anyway, does anyone know if that Ferrari stay around for a while, any hotel? I'm in town on Wednesday and can drive Howts or something for carspotting. Didn't photograph Ferrari for a while now.

Absolute beasts, both of them. Vicious sound. No European or Japanese car can compare to this.
