Eh?

I thought you made a profit on your cars. After all, dealers were queuing up to buy your Gallardo PET weren't they?
Still are and at a nice mark up. Lets put it down to luck or intuition and another car bought at the right time for the right price but hey you don't have to follow my lead.
Plenty of opportunities out there but only 5 RHD Scuds lol

As a fellow Scud owner would it be possible to respectfully request that you don't spend the next 12 months telling us all how much Scud's are worth (like you did with your Lambo). It might amaze you but some of us don't care so much, go out and use it and enjoy it. If you make a few quid in the process good luck to you. Hope that doesn't sound too rude, but I'm feeling nervous already that everytime I log on here to have a good read all I will see is comments about how much Scud's have gone up.

clap Well said.

I find it hard to believe that the Speciale will tank and even harder to believe a Ferarri dealer would say such a thing.
I tried to order a Speciale a few weeks ago and was told I'd be waiting 12 months for delivery, that doesn't sound like a car lacking demand to me!

No one said there wasn't demand for the latest greatest Ferrari.
Can't believe you can't get an order for 12 months when I can get 1 this year ???? Anyway if you believe Ferrari speciale production stops after March 2015 so I guess you won't be getting one at all then unless they are already increasing normal production numbers which id something I feared could happen and would seriously hurt future residuals

I thought production of the Speciale ends March 2015 not March 2016 but looking at Sone's post regarding a 1yr delivery from a few weeks ago I may be wrong. Thought deliveries of the Turbo car started next year too, that must be wrong also as I cant see them continuing to produce the Speciale a year after the new model..

In response to the thread opening question.... I have a white Scud. Owned it for 3 mths now, been a total pleasure and I live in central London. The only issue is failing to use many gears beyond 1st and 2nd but it's lots of fun regardless.

About to have a blast west and staying near Castle Coombe where there happens to be an open track day smile On that note, anyone know the Db reading at 4,500 RPM ? They have a 100Db limit, going to be close.

I doubt you'll pass a 100db static test and will certainly bust the trackside mic if you pass with the exhaust valves fully open.

Maybe they'll stop taking orders in March, I'm not sure but when I was told that I couldn't have a car until the latter part of next year I lost interest(-:

I hope you can get a refund when you fail the static test. Because the scud will fail.

I'm in central London as well and have had my blue Scuderia for a few years now and still enjoying it. Looked seriously at moving to a Speciale after having a good track session in one but decided to stick with the Scud a bit longer.

It's not just track db limits it can upset, it's a bit shouty on a quiet Sunday in London as well. I've even had someone come out and complain about the noise as I was parking although in hindsight I think that was more down to him being a miserable fker than the absolute noise level.
I'm a few days away some a noise-guilt free blast through France - can't wait.

Agree on the too noisy for residents point, just starting up is enough to put some people out. I have a static db reader which I am going to test mine on to know what they are. Helpful gadget for track days as some tracks are 105 others are 101. I tested my shelby and it was 120 db lol but that had straight pipes.

Enjoy France but careful you don't get cough doing over 160 kph u will lose your license and ban from driving in France for 3 months.
