Great update.
I was on the M40 on Sunday thinking of your car actually, had a Dads & Lads weekend away with my 9yo, was thinking of what car I would love to be in for it, the FF is still on my dream list!
To bring me down to earth, what sort of MPG are you seeing out of it on average?

It really is fantastic for going out with my daughter (4yo), she loves the car (because of all the embroidered 'Horsey's') and it gives me that bit of 'Dad' fun for the most mundane of weekend activities. That said, it does mean that I more often than not am not exploiting the full performance of it, so when I do get a rare drive out by myself it never fails to shock me. Now that it's getting lighter and drier, long may that continue!
Bookmarked as I am thinking of an FF or Lusso, and this thread has scared the living crap out of me. And i dont think there's any way around all of this - for example, I'm not sure that spending 150k on a 30,000 mile Lusso gets one away from the PTU and ceramic brake issues.
It's certainly made me lean towards a lower mile Lusso T over the V12, anyway!
Beautiful car, in my perfect Ferrari colour scheme, mind. FF is better looking than the Lusso, and tdf/tan is my dream spec.

I'm genuinely apologetic that I'm at least a little bit scaring you! It's really been a fantastic car, and most of the expense I've put into it is because I bought it blind with an auction site that had waaaaaaaaay overly generous descriptions about stuff.It's certainly made me lean towards a lower mile Lusso T over the V12, anyway!

I would not recommend that approach, and if you shop around a bit and buy after actually looking at a car you could avoid most things. the PTU is the only thing that could get you completely by surprise, but it can be budgetted for it and it is somewhat affordable in supercar terms to get the proper aftermarket fix done to it.
I've really been enjoying mine the last couple of months. No trips/events of note, just blasting around on a weekend when I get a half hour to myself or when taking daughter out to something.
After what feels like the longest booking on record, I've just dropped it in with the detailer today for a correction and ceramic coating that I had booked following the original paintwork, but have delayed it until the re-work gets done. Very excited to see the results later this week.
