612's Thoughts.

[_Superleggera_]

Can I ask what everyone's opinion is on the 612. We were asked to source one over the weekend and have found a couple of very nice examples. They are pretty cheap to pick up.

I've never driven one and I love the front end, but that tail is just not doing it for me. Looks like the designer got a bit bored.

On the other hand they are very practical.

Very much the gentlemans GT or something that should have been brushed under the carpet?

We looked at one when I got the GS. The Mrs said we'd always be wondering whether to park it so we had to look at the gopping grill, or risk offending the neighbours by letting it face them, but back then we were also looking at the 456, which I still think it gorgeous.

Oddly enough they're starting to look more appealing now.

Now I love the GS. That is a beautiful timeless vehicle.

I bought one! They are very colour dependent, I bought a TDF dark blue with Crema leather.

This really does feel like a supercar, whilst being comfortable, capable of 200 miles an hour and has 540 bhp. Oh, and it also has four proper seats.

No question it's a good 2+2.

That is exactly the spec we are looking at on one vehicle. Looks lovely.

I've driven one now.

I can see what all the fuss is about.

Was quite surprised by just how much I liked it.
