No, I don't mean he bought another Ferrari. I mean there is now an Eric Clapton edition Ferrari. It's the SP12EC (for obvious reasons), and it's inspired by the 512BB. He's owned three of those beauties and decided that he wanted one all his own.

Based on the 458 Italia and it's FUCKING GORGEOUS.

LawL, do you ever wonder just how hard people that assemble bikes have to suppress the urge to kill themselves when they have to mount that stupid fucking taillight/blinker monstrosity?

Plus what's with the eleborate, glamour shot bike stand. Even got little wheels.
How does it normally look when parked? Probably 2 sweaty imps hunchbacking it.

The stands are an absolute necessity if you do any work on your bike. (HINT: ONLY FAGGOTS DON'T WORK ON THEIR BIKES)

The wheels are there to allow the lever action the stand employs to lift the bike, wouldn't work without them.

Looks like the shape of the rear of the car is a vague nod to the testarossa maybe.

There's a considerable difference in price tag between that car and that bike. Yet both are the creme de la creme of super sport vehicles.

Are you not familiar with the 512BB?
