Having gone back for a drive last weekend, I was really surprised at just how good the FF is to drive.
I then spent the week watching Chris Harris's & Harry Metcalfe's reviews of the FF many times over, and wheying up options & costs
to which I then applied a LOT of man maths which made owning an FF seem much more sensible (almost profitable ha ha), then I popped back and treated myself for my birthday .... should pick her up early March once it's been prepped and had paint protection etc applied.
Spec is 2014 Nero Black car. 2k mls, with cream diamond stitch leather, glass roof, passenger display, rear entertainment and lots of shiny carbon bits.
Yes it will probably depreciate like a stone, but we're only here once!
Now comes "the long wait"

Sounds like a lovely spec, clearly we need pics!!

Only have a couple of pics I took the other weekend ....
Looks fab, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.Very different thing to the Aventador I would imagine, not got the shock and awe, but so much more usable, a slow burner.
I think FFs are really colour sensitive and Nero suits them really well, and those wheels really help too.
Has me wondering if I might be better with yellow wheel centres rather than black now....

Seriously, no, that's a keeper.

To the point made earlier on whether people notice the car or not - I recently took a test drive of one from HR owen London. I don't remember anyone noticing it even when driving through Hyde park which was surprising
Overall I thought it was beautifully finished inside, dead easy to drive, very direct steering but seemed a bit too much like a normal car to me. Maybe that was the town driving but I came away thinking it lacked some fun
There's no fun to be had tootling round London, get it on a decent road!Overall I thought it was beautifully finished inside, dead easy to drive, very direct steering but seemed a bit too much like a normal car to me. Maybe that was the town driving but I came away thinking it lacked some fun
Still feels special all of the time even so.

Lovely bertie, are you doing lots of miles in yours?
I don't really do big miles in anything, but I find I use the FF more than any of the others as it's just so usable.Wife loves driving it too.
I wasn't convinced when they came out, but I have to say it's a very complete package and much more presence in the flesh than in pictures.

Another option is to keep the stock exhaust and get the dealer to disconnect the valves (so it's "loud" all the time). I've had it done to several cars. Makes a nice difference if the car is just that little bit too quiet.
If you want to do that 2 minutes with some garden wire and you can pin the valves open Gassing Station | Ferrari V12 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
