I don't remember exactly how it happened as it's quite a while ago, I believe there were some guesses on that thread. I think I posted that thread on this forum or I might have posted it on another forum, but it definately has been posted here before & with a couple more pics than it's shown here, but I can't find it without the title , & just typing in what I think are the key words have not turned up anything so far, you are the ATB so maybe you would have better luck

I don't think this is a legitimite photo...IMO it is a hoax. Ferraris, while not heavy by automotive standards.....( they are, of course, exotic sports cars deliberately designed to be light for performance )......are easily heavy enough to collapse a tinny roof on a small, shabby building like that. You're not going to have a 2500 or 3000 lb. car sitting on a roof like that without falling through.

Yes you're right, there are several pics from different angles, they may still be in the hard drive of my old computer, that's how long ago that previous thread is.
