If somebody gave me a free, personalized 458 as a company car I 'd say NO

Get serious guys, please.

Sir Stirling certainly had a stylish motor:

IIRC he also had a Morris Minor at one point.

If you could afford a McLaren F1, you would/should. wink.gif If however it was a slightly 'awkward' gift from your employer that they have 'tastefully' offered to customize for you eek.gif , well, that's a different story.

Speaking of McLaren F1's, doesn't Schumacher own a GTR or an LM?

It's a freebie company car :S Besides I kinda doubt Ferrari would give Nando a McLaren as a company car

I was reading a review of the 458 today. And the rear is very F1 'like' very nice. Aesthetically I just don't get the front lights, not going to age well I think. Anyway, we are talking the drivers 'own' cars here, not the company car, they are obliged to own/appear in. wink.gif This is why I found it so intriguing a few years ago to hear that Mr Ferrari, Schumacher, was operating a McLaren F1 in his spare time. eek.gif Can anyone validate this story, with pics?

Well I know MS owned a Bugatti EB110, maybe still does maybe he got rid of it after joining Ferrari but I haven't heard anything about him owning a McLaren F1

up.gif That car is a beauty. I knew he had one which he later sold I always assumed it was Bugatti blue, never a yellow. eek.gif It actually looks like either the EB110 SS or Dauer revision of the car.

Schumachers secret garage/lair. What else lies within I wonder? Apart from the ubiquitous Harley.
