I believe Gary picked his new beast up today, Lewis and Jenson would approve :wink:

They do, I have a genuine signed document from them both :D
Raining today, so no new pictures, hopefully out tonight with the camera for some arty ones... :bounce:

Wonderful. Great colour too.

I thought it was going to be the burnt orange colour when you said the future's bright!

Is it some flavour of Dancing Donkey? But I thought all Ferraris are red, or yellow?

I suppose it would be silly of me to ask how it goes?

Paul, I'm on the run in period of max of 5k - so sh*t of a shovel :iroc:
The front end grip is the most striking thing so far, but I used to love pushing the front wide around the bends in my Turbo..
and I still keep putting my hand out for a stick!! running it in auto to try and minimise the revs at the moment, sports mode and its heading to 8.5K!! :?
Most annoying thing is the lack of small bin storage space for the small things like suntan cream and sunglasses which we all take for granted.
The boot space is bigger than my 997!
