I work for one of the countrys largest motor organisation, and amongst our portfolio is our flagship Maranello dealership in Egham, Surrey.
They specialise in Ferrari and Maserati, although they deal in Porsche and Aston Martin when required.
As I was at a meeting nearby, I thought I would stop in for a coffee and general mince.8)
This is one side of the forecourt:
The opposite side had some 911's, SL500 AMG's and a selction of Maserati.
I was invited to take a 430 Coupe F1 out, until they asked how old I was:red: So, I became the passenger...almost
All 480bhp of it...
The obligatory pose...
Then we went to fire it up, but the battery was flat - not a problem, the black F430 Spyder F1 was OK to take out...
Popped over to the Maranello service centre and associated services site just down the road in sunningdale...
Some of the exotica in here doesnt even get driven between MOT's.:eek:
This was in the valeting bay being treated to some Zymol
Thats my afternoon.

Doesnt inchape just have bodyshops?
what do you actually do for them?
i know a few guys that work in a few different inchcape bodyshops in corby and they are huge!
And to the guy who was asking Pendragon are now the biggest in Britain since they bought over CD Brammel, they use the name Evans Halshaw now!
