Ferrari 599, another horse in the stable!

Great photos, so nice to see one in a different colour to the usual Black, Red and Grey.

Hope you enjoy it

Yep, I meant that the 599 has worse fuel economy than the 612....although with those engines it's at the margin.

Don't know precisely what mpg I'm getting, but it's easily sub 10 around town....and I'd guess closer to 7mpg.

458 and a 612 would be a super garage, genuinely the best of both worlds.

Hope you kept the Jag....

Look forward to seeing the 599 out and about in the shire although I guess it's TT weather just now.

The Jag is safe

You'd be surprised - remember Mr _XX counts this as his daily driver just now

To the OP.......Just out of interest why are you trying to sell your 599 after only 1 months ownership

There was another car that had caught my eye (something a little bit different) and I quite fancied it. That was the only reason I was thinking of getting rid of it as i simply didnt have any more room. But I've now decided to keep the 599. It's fantastic!

Would love to add a late 599 with HGTE Kit to the F355 and F430 spider but the above really worries me.

With fuel prices only ever going one way to have a 599 as my daily drive ( which is what I had in mind )and having a heavy right foot is just not practical.
Also because of the running costs inc fuel they are going to continue to depreciate at a rate of knots.

Think they are fantastic cars at fantastic value for money currently but see them becoming the bargain of the century in the future

People get really freaked out about fuel prices but to be honest ian although it's an annoyance, I don't think it should be the main factor in deciding for or against a car. Say it will cost you £100 a week on fuel for the 599, that's £5,200 a year on fuel. That is horrific I know. BUT a 430 will probably cost you 70-80% of what a 599 will use in fuel so therefore £3,640 - £4,160. So if you look at it like that then its not really that much more expensive... Thats my strange way of justifying it anyway

So many cars, so little time,
