(Not a Fez V12, but looking for an 812..)

Took the 720S across the channel to get a chocomel and straight back over. Didn't make it past the petrol station just after the tunnel exit.
GOALS! I love this and respect this.

And today I’ve sold her.
Had to take advantage of the price rise and it’s starting to get sunny again. I’m always a natural roadster boy, so it’s time for fun car shopping again smile

Getting in and out of a V12 Ferrari after putting 11,000 miles on her with deposit and dosh intact is as good as it gets to me.

Not realy Ferari V12 related, but scores highly on the pointless trip scale.

I once sold an item worth about £100 to a guy in Southend. I decided to fly down to deliver it personally. although it didn't take too long, it cost me considerably more than the sale price.

....a bit of an airing, got the fluids pumping despite a few dribbles, saw some daylight for a change. But enough about me. The car saw some use too.

I have some very simple rules in life.
Rwd beats fwd.
2 seats beats 4 seats.
2 doors beats 4 doors.
Topless beats roofs.
Animals beat children.
North beats south.
Everything beats Surrey.

Simple really.

Is half a V12 allowed?

Took my beautiful Busso V6 Alfetta GTV6 to absolutely nowhere in particular on April 1st just because I could after ending its winter SORN hibernation. Beyond the general direction I have no idea where I went... 50 miles of bliss though smile
