Nice, but about as much use as a tumble dryer.

A couple of my friends actually have tumble dryers in Fue because they dont like how hard the sun makes their towels...all crispy. (And it saves on the ironing when you're working all hours)

ha Ha Bluefox, I couldn't get any closer. Definately no Kit Car.
Here's a picture of the engine taken through the see-through panel at the back. Where did you see a Fiat V-8 engine like that.
The 458 Speciale is a faster, lighter, version of the 458 Italia.  Google it.

The prices they charge at the Caleta Mac D's compared to the UK, then I can well believe that the owner can afford a Ferrari (Fiat). :P

Yeh, and Rolls Royce & Bentley are owned by BMW and Volkswagen. So those expensive Bentleys are actually posh Beetles  :o

It's not the MacDonalds guy, I asked at the tyre place in Matorral where it was parked. They said it was some guy who lived out Antigua way.

I can't think of many.  You need a decent, long, fairly straight, road to get anywhere near to the top speed in a Ferrari.

Horizonte to Triquivijate. Straight as a die, flat out for at least 3 km, yes  8) 8)

Whispa (Freda) who does the walks knows the owner. Maybe she could have a word with him.

3km, that's enough for at least half a dozen speeding fines.  :o

You never see a copper on that road.

Only at the Pine Trees at the entrance to Triqui where it goes down to 60. They make a fortune with their hidden speed cameras there.
