Surely that wasn’t today?

Great views but not sure it’s a great driving road, unless you heading off to Settle from there.

Back in the summer.

You are right, I was actually disappointed at the road, I had the misconception it was going to be amazing. You’ll know better than me, but the road near the Ribblehead viaduct was fun!

It’s often held up to be a great road, but it’s not. There is some stunning scenery in the area but it’s rough and has sheep.

Ribbledhead to Hawes is one of my favourites, if it’s quiet it is such fun.

Sorry for the crappy photo but it's all I've got at the moment, but this is my new toy. The weekend was dry and lovely so we've a little bit of top down fun on some roads that weren't motorways.

It's amazing and I can't wait to get to know her properly.

Beautiful, and love the discrete colour too. Got a soft spot for Ferraris that aren’t bright red, rather cooler IMHO.

When advertising my black 430 i had buyer phone me who owned a red 360 and wanted to graduate to a 430

saying he doesn't want red again as he felt a bit of a plonker sitting at a set of lights for any length of time,

Did enjoy the anonymity of a black car,no one seemed to notice it until it was right on top of them.

Some Ferrari's have to be red like the F40 , No disrespect to red Ferrari's owners on here,lucky we all have different tastes

be a boring world otherwise yes

I have been hearing this about the colour red on ferrari's for 30 years. And yet still red is the number one colour on ferrari's.
There was a time not so long ago imo that it seemed blue was the new red.

Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing red Ferraris, and still react much like I did at age 6 when I see one. No criticism at all for those enjoying themselves by having the colour they like and want, especially as it is the classic racing colour. Just a personal view as I get older and prefer to be a bit more discrete than my younger self did.

I was going to buy for a 360 in Tour de France Blue. It looked much classier than red. And I used to own a red Esprit Turbo for many years and swore I'd never get another red car.

And then a Ferrari popped up for sale near me and I bought it. It was red.

Very happy I did too.

My 430 was (is still) the same colour, Grigio Silverstone.

I was allowed a Ferrari as long as it wasn't red. I love this colour, it feels slightly under the radar. Having said that I have already had a lot of attention in the 458 than I ever had in the 430.

So we will have to wait to see how that goes. I don't like to be stared at and am much happier going under the radar, as much as you can in a Ferrari.

Grigio Silverstone was the colour i was looking for but went for a Nero Daytona one ,not because i prefered it but i could only

find one Grigio but that had done 46,000 miles and the Nero one had only had 18,000 miles on the clock,

When buying used sometimes you have to get as close as you can to what you want .

Suppose i could have always wrapped it but not really into all that.nonesense

Colour is definitely interesting, never thought id end up with a white one, then you get to the dealer and its “oh bugger” and you like it!

As a personal preference id rather not have red on something other than a Ferrari eg an R8 or Huracan etc.

Can I ask a cheeky question - is that a Charles Church house b y any chance? Looks like one of our house types from before the Persimmon takeover
