OP if you're OK with a left hooker I will soon advertise my '09 rosso corsa due to relocation.
Originally suppled in Italy with a classic specification of beige interior with all the normal extras including carbon driving zone, spider wheels & front parking sensors. Only covered 13,000 miles of which I have done more than half over three years and it has been great. It has a custom sports exhaust so it sounds truly epic.
Send me a pm if you'd like to have a look.
Prancing Horse, I would also appreciate the details of your car!

8 main stealer stamps and having tie rod ends done and a service at MD before delivery .....looking forward to the pick up and drive home !
Many congrats on the new purchase. Grigio Silverstone is a great colour on the 599. Enjoy collection day. The first time you put your foot down in 2nd/3rd gear in a 599 is one of life's special little moments. I remember collecting mine from Dick Lovett on a bright, sunny February day two years ago. I smiled so much, I think my face was actually aching by the end of the day! SL550M said:

to get a really smooth gear change under acceleration, lift momentarily off the throttle, as in a manual gear change when you change gear, and you will find it makes a real difference. sorry if you already know this.
If you had paddles on the DB9 you are probably well used to this.Don't worry the 599 F1 box is in a different league as I'm sure you will have realised.

DB9 has an auto box, you may be thinking of the original Vanquish that had a single cutch paddle change?Don't worry the 599 F1 box is in a different league as I'm sure you will have realised.
OP, v nice car. Enjoy!
Well my new 599GTB is home ......holy sh*t is it quick .....my DB9 is quick and my Audi S8 is very very quick but the Ferrari is ludicrous........after 140 mile drive home I’ve got the hang of the F1 box ....much smoother gear changes by dropping off the accelerator between shifts .......I shall enjoy showing it off tomorrow.......may thanks for all your kind words
