6 weeks to go

Did the new Ferrari California not interest you, the California has a much more up-to-date interior with the Sat Nav screen, etc..?

At least with this 599 you'll keep BP and Shell's profits up with frequent petrol visits lol

California is uglier than a war wound tbh

Awesome, saw one of these in Dubai and it looked immense.

Definately where my money would be going if I had supercar kinda money.

Don't like the California. Not the best looking Ferrari and a bit too soft.

Is this a track car - or an everyday car - or a summer kinda posing car?

Presumably with an F1 gearbox it will be a bee hatch to drive normally?

An F1 gearbox is just as easy to use as a normal gearbox after you get used to it

But I thought some of them were absurdly stiff. Like in the F40?

Nero leather with red stitching

I think this is the only thing I would have changed on your spec list, I prefer the Rosso Corsa / Beige with Rosso Stitching combination.

When are you planning on going to the ring?

 

[Matt82]

. Never knew you placed an order for one. Specs? How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind me asking.

"more than you can afford, pal. ferrari"

^ That quote was in my head yesterday and it was really bugging me as to where it was from.

Everyday car, when the sun is shining

The 599 F1 Superfast Gearbox is awesome - total gear change time is just 100ms.

you are thinking of a 'race' clutch on a manual. ferraris 'f1 box' is basically their flappy paddle name.

Ah, gotcha.

Well, the 599 is certainly one of the best looking ferraris in recent years.

Good work.

 

[Morba]

He's just spent almost 200 grand on a car. I somehow don't think petrol costs are too much of an issue

Petrol? Think of the road tax!
