I don't know where these drivers get the balls to parallel park cars of these values. My crappy steel wheels' plastic trims are covered in dents and scratches from tiny kerb nudges.
Admittedly a potential bill measured in several thousands might sherpen up my technique.
The grey one looks tolerably nice.

Agree about the grey one, prefer it to the SLR.
The FF is just a hideous design. Regardless of price, performance or exclusivity, it is really an eyesore. To be fair, I've never been shooting brake (break?) designs yes oddly I am a fan of the Panamera.
However, it the FF is to Ferrari as the Cayman was (and is) to Porsche it was a good move. That is, a volume/production cash cow that generates plenty of free cash to plow back in to more interesting projects.
And I don't besmirch those who are in the SES level to purchase one and not give a whit about longer-term value. There are plenty of good people around the world in that category notwithstanding some clinical doubters.
Just not my cup of tea. At all. In the least. Not a chance. Et al.

Does anyone know how many of these have been sold in the UK?
Would someone pick this over instead getting the Ferrari F12 and also a Range Rover for when friends have to be taken or the weather is wintery?
Even the way they have done the 4 wheel drive sounds scarily expensive to maintain, 2 clutches. I guess people have not enough mileage to find out yet though apart from perhaps the press hack.

That's not why I bought one. For me, it's a superb daily driver that gives me a reason to climb out of bed on cold winter mornings. Two seat Fcars may as well be one seat, driving one is like masturbating. Driving a four seater Fcar is like having an expensive mistress....and in an ideal world you'd breath that in every day.You should try it.
Probably a good time to dig this one back up since the Turbo S has launched at around £150k with options.
£165k in the classifieds for a Ferrari FF on a 2012 plate, that means they are probably trading at £150k.
PH: Any chance of a FF vs Turbo S head-to-head ?
PS. To the poster above, over 128 FF's have made it into the UK.
