Nice car has an MOT!

Went to get a new exhaust fitted to my wife's car today. While I was waiting, a Ferrari turned up for its first MOT (piccy below).

Very amusing to watch, as it was only 4" narrower across the mirrors than the gap between the car lift's pillars. They had to fit special ramps so that the underneath didn't hit anything and, when they finally lifted it up, they found that the undertray stopped them seeing anything anyway!

You've never seen a bunch of general-purpose garage mechanics looking so nervous as they moved it round the garage!

And it doesn't have a fixed roof.

If it is someone should tell the dvla (I checked as I was suspicious of the FKE numberplate).

Looks slightly amphibious.

It looked VERY nice in real life, believe me! An unusual colour for a Ferrari, but it did suit the car a lot - my phone camera didn't do it justice.

What surprised me was the width of the car - as I said above, it only just fitted onto a 4-post car lift that had only just had a large Jaguar on it, and that had loads of room to spare.
