Hi there,

Drove past Graypaul in my lunchbreak today and caught sight of an Enzo parked in the showroom. Thought I would go and have a closer look as although I have seen quite a few Enzos in the flesh they are stunning and still quite a rare site.

Whilst wandering round the showroom and having a good look at the F40, F50 and Enzo they have I spotted the Black 599 GTB on display in the top corner of the showroom.

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!
This car is stunning, it was finished in a stunning metallic black with a superb red and black interior. I have not seen a 599 in the flesh until today and it has now shot straight to the top of the 'what would I buy if I had the money' list.

This colour combination and the bigger wheels were just perfect.

Most of you know that I usually take pics using my digital SLR camera but as I was at work I only had my camera phone on me. Luckily the pictures have come out not to bad but I will definately be popping back soon with my big camera.

Enjoy.

Saw it in the flesh at galleria Ferrari in the summer in a metallic red. It is truly beautiful, the rear end is almost as good as jessica alba's!
Euro lottery gods please smile down upon me!!!!

At the risk of being contentious, I simply can't (yet) grow to even vaguely like the 599 looks. I'm currently strangely happy my order form ended up in my bin, unsigned. I don't dount they're fabulous to drive, but looks wise....no.

Hi there,

Managed to get back to Graypaul again this lunchtime but took my proper camera this time.

I did get a few shots of the interior, however had to get these from outside the car as it was locked and all the sales staff were busy with customers.

All of the pics I took can be found here: -

Hope you like them.

Regards

Considering the most modern Ferrari I have been in is a 360 what are the thum sized indentations at the 13:50 position (10 to 2)?

Are these solely there so the driver has somewhere meaningful to rest his/her thums and get a better/comfortable driving position for the hands?

Someone may correct me if I am wrong but the dents are more ergonomical when you use your fingers to flip the "f1" paddles.

The indentations are the horn buttons

Sorry Sarbs, gonna have to wait a week as I failed to win last night. Still, it's a possible £100 million next Friday (that's a nice round number!) so I'll throw in a set of bespoke luggage if my numbers come up
