Hi Bob,
thank you very much for taking the time to experiment with the Ferrari.
I think you got it very Brazilesque.
For convenience I use the LDraw coordinate system in POV too,
so "sky -y" may look strange. See the coordinate system here:

http://home16.inet.tele.dk/hassing/l3p.html#l3globe
In the CAD program I can read the coordinate of the right
front wheel to <190, -46,  -170> which can be used as the focal_point.
(though your settings didn't seems to give much blur...)

PS. thanks for the nice comments about my LDraw work.
