Well done John, enjoy it in good health for many years to come.

[@McGurkCars]

And to you!

[@stefanedmeades4298]

My favourite Ferrari and supercar of all time. So good to get a real owner’s experience of what the car is like. Maintaining an F40 is as simple as a Fiesta!!! Where did I put that lottery ticket!!!

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

Love that you extended this video! Amazing!

[@kbk75yt]

What a fantastic video! Love the story, love his passion, love the car! Love that he drives the thing! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@technique275]

Glad you enjoyed it Anthony!

[@raymundjusay4632]

Thank you for your time sharing your story, Amazing Supercar F40 >>>>>

[@2702simmo]

I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Being interesting is a rare quality and this chap has it. My favourite all time car I’m 44 and only ever seen 1 which is something I want to improve on. Lucky man , but that was a great review of ownership and it sounds like he’s really loving it in a way we can all imagine we would All the best to him 👍

[@McGurkCars]

Thank you so much for your kind comments, really appreciate it.

[@JordsBored]

Just saw it in person today at Caffeine and machine such a beautiful car

[@poppaschlong2000]

Thought this was vinwiki at first lol. I welcome more content like this.

[@SCDC-Channel]

EPIC car

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

This man is living the dream. The F40 and F1 are the ulimate.

[@McGurkCars]

Thanks John

[@McGurkCars]

I'll swop you for a go in the Raptor on your page? Any Viper to be fair?

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

McGurk Performance Cars, if we had a F35 trainer, there could be a arrangement made for a ride in the F40. A few of our airman are into cars and would jump at the chance. You would be impressed by a F16B. However we are in South Korea.

[@McGurkCars]

@@ColonelJohnmatrix1000 The F35 Trainer sounds fun, I feel a deal coming on! I don't fancy Korea I have to be honest Colonel. Stay safe.

[@MrSpeedSix]

"And if I did sell it, what on earth would I´ll have instead?" Me: Why the hell did I sell this one owner 2004 TVR T350C, that I bought back in 2010?

[@josebarberena9564]

5:37 LOL exactly! Can you expect to buy anything else that can surpass the thrill of owning this classic beauty?

[@alma1282]

This my favourite car

[@iamthefatstig]

I remember the flat out video well. It was a private owner in Japan. I had the DUKE VHS video of it. I believe he got a right hefty fine etc.

[@SwissMarksman]

Wait, are we talking about that white 458 video?

[@iamthefatstig]

@@SwissMarksman No my friend. It was a VHS of a Japanese guy maxing out his F40 on public roads. It's more than likely on the toooob now.

[@SwissMarksman]

@@iamthefatstig Ah yeah I saw that one. Crazy bastard that guy is.

[@dzero5398]

You remind me of Me, driving the wheels off the Car, whilst taking care of it. Except, I'm broke.

[@jealva]

Listening to this in 2022 and I’m wondering if John decided to sell his F40.

[@jaromeiginla3141]

Does anyone know where to get these exact driving gloves?

[@ashterfadgadget817]

Ask your grandad.

[@ldnldnldnsmsmsmsm8990]

Dents , they are an English company and they make those stringback driving gloves

[@MrGB1999]

In a very similar way, I feel exactly the same about my humble 360 Modena. They make you feel alive because they are alive - so much more than the anodyne stuff we mostly have today. Special cars are often very edgy and quite flawed. That's where the magic is.

[@McGurkCars]

Couldn't agree more!

[@sfnevada13]

👌

[@MikeSmith-rd9fi]

repost?

[@thomaspickervance5927]

Amazing story, would love to know how much he bought it for and how long it took for him to pay it off 😂

[@scd]

Good question!

[@McGurkCars]

I'm still paying it off!

[@thomaspickervance5927]

McGurk Performance Cars wow, so worth it though

[@TheSnookerGym]

Cojones of carbon to do that without telling your partner first!

[@MarcSob22]

The best car ever made!! But need good new tires , the tires from factory dont has grip!! Trofeo R is perfect on the F40! My friend instagram.com/c.nv.cardoso/ uses Trofeo R on his F40, and it was day and night with regard to stock tires!

[@IMTHEBIGGESTCUNT]

20.15 Shit shoes! 😃

[@simon737]

Didn’t he go to prison for driving this thing properly? Baller....😎

[@roverwaters3875]

a turbocharged 308

[@gblikesnikes]

I’m the biggest Ferrari fan ever but what’s the point 20k miles in 10 years. That’s just seem very boring, give it me I would drive it everyday. Damn the values live with the car. And also you would buy and even more rare F50

[@vika0194]

The car might have history and all that but it’s very ugly. Even uglier than the F50.

[@y0057]

If one does not like something, no one is forced to watch (in this case), why put down something negative. All I see is jealousy (you!)of a hard working man striving to own something he loves, you’d do well to learn from this man’s effort and passion than seek to come up with stupid comment. I bet you are the kind who goes scratching people’s beautiful cars out of sheer jealousy.

[@vika0194]

Yemi What a dumb comment. I love cars. I have an F-type R. Why would I be jelaous. The F40 is ugly. That was my point. Stop trying to act like someone is jelaous and scratches cars because they find one ugly.

[@y0057]

Victor point is if as a matured person you know you don’t have anything constructive to say, keep quiet. Surely you know this simple act of courtesy. Ask yourself this question, has your comment added any iota of value to this video? Has this benefitted the hour it took to set up this video and the producers. I’m certain you’d get the jist of my point if you answer this question truthfully...
