RE: PH Fleet: Ferrari 599
Discussion
The key fob does have an F logo on it, it's just not showing.
599 wipers are WAAAAAAY better than 612 wipers. All bits on my 612 worked for the 15k miles I put on it, couldn't fault it.......except the wipers, which I seriously thought were faulty and sent the car back to the main dealer for them to investigate. Oh how they laughed.

Interesting article and proof that Ferrari haven't changed some things since the days of the 456.
My wipers are crap, had to carry a 13ml socket with me when touring the highlands to tighten them up every few days. The Becker head unit is rubbish, even by 90's standards and the switches are clunky, though they do at least work.
Will give those silicon wipers a try though.

calling Chris Harris, somebody from What Car appears to have stolen your PH login.Worrying about the bloody key? You should see a 288's key, hardly detracts from the anticipation of what is to come. Windscreen wipers? Seriously?
I don't like how you have to slam the boot closed though

Thanks crusoe, it does look a bit like a key for a 156.
? Pretty certain my 156 GTA had a fold-away blade like a VAG key and looked considerably less like a novelty souvenir than that.

similar comment on key on the maser Granturismo - really bad
but Fiat can make decent keys, the key I had for my 1998 Coupe 20v turbo was a splendid metal bodied affair
Many years ago I had a genuine Rolls Royce key fob, which was a horrible lump of black plastic with the RR logo crudely embossed on it. I’d occasionally leave it visible when feeling pretentious to impress young ladies, which worked a treat right up to the point that they realised the actual car was in fact a series 1 (rwd) Cavalier. (I did say it was a while ago!)but Fiat can make decent keys, the key I had for my 1998 Coupe 20v turbo was a splendid metal bodied affair
glad to here the experience is good so far and there have been no breakdowns.
I will watch out for electric gremlins, Ive only had abs and asr light on so far, again like you, i paid no attention to it and carried on! of course being on the road, i was making sure i wasnt sticking the back end out round corners.

Surely Ferrari are missing a trick with the options list RE: keys? Make one out of carbon and charge £500 for it! Anyone who catches sight of that awful red blob will want one without question.
Hey ! Don't call Chris "that awful red blob".......He can't help it, it's his blood pressure, having to drive all those dreadful cars !!

Isn't the problem that when car manufacturers stopped making normal keys they went balls-out naff? Look at the Huayra key, who would want a mini version of the car they're driving sticking out of the dash board? Looks like some sort of omen warning of a crash. I test drove one for the fist time recently and found it funny that the starter button only starts it and you need to turn it off via the key to stop the engine... not an issue just thought the big red button would do both...
Overall with the various gremlins listed I still want one and have not been put off at all... Just need to find the right one.

Chris, you can probably get your iphone to charge with this adapter:

Clue is on the button: "engine start" Overall with the various gremlins listed I still want one and have not been put off at all... Just need to find the right one.
