A Tech, is that a regular mechanic or an "Tech" like an person who only diagnoses problems and troubleshoot "hard problems" like electrical stuff? Sorry if I ask, but I hear/see "Tech" being said often, just Wonder.

And the F40 is a really cool car man, I think it is much cooler than the newer, because of the looks and performance only car. Even though the newer are faster, they are not as brutal kind of, but it probably is fast compared/keep up to many modern cars still.

1100kg +470HP Should go decent.

The term "Tech" at some point replaced "mechanic." Apparently "mechanic" wasn't prestigious enough.

Maybe customers feel as if their $100/hr+ labor rate is better spent on a tech, then a so called grease monkey mechanic, .

I think MarkM66 stated it well - but I do like the "Car Doctor" thing

Yes Sieg, there are not many things that are easy to do on these cars

The F40 is iconic and fun to drive but have you guys seen Chris Harris drive the F12 and go through 4 sets of tires - F12 is an absolute Beast!!

Also look up Chris Harris and his volatile history with Ferrari
