Silver 612 in Macclesfield, numberplate "NOD 3" I think, anyone know who this is? I thought it could be Noddy Holder as he lives near here, but it didn't look like him??

Noddy Holder has a Ferrari? The dream is ruined.

Parked downstairs at my place, part of a fleet...

not impressed tho ;( looks very underwhelming in flesh.. might just be the color... but I just wouldnt.

Still, hope the owner enjoys her (and doesnt lose both arms and legs at resale)

Saw the same car going through Bramhall this morning heading in the Mac Direction.

Being understated is part of the attraction for buyers of these cars though. It wont get you noticed like a bright red 360 but that can be a good thing.

The 456 is the same. Its great seeing peoples reactions to it when you drive past. Some have no idea what it is and dont give it a second glance but it turns the head of anyone with an interest in cars.

A lot of 456's and 612's are used as everyday cars where the constant pointing and clapping (or worse, raised fingers and w4nker signs)would get a bit annoying if it was more in your face.

I would still have a 575 though unless I was desparate for the extra space.

It did look a bit like an oversized Smart Roadster from further away though...

It looks like what it is... a bloated, small eyed, mis proportioned bread bin of a car. How did that ever get passed the design stage. Great engine, but doing £70k in 12 months, and having people stating ' is that really a Ferrari ?' would not light my fire. It remains the Cayenne of the Ferrari stable.
