in London no one cares about ferraris or supercars though, it's no big deal to park them on the street all the time imo
As I'm now leaving an 812 on street in London I wondered what people's views on this are.
I agree there are a lot of supercars around in Central London and people are generally oblivious to them driving around but I think that is a bit different to parking on street every night.

Up here, I've owned Astons and Porkers and never ever locked them. In London I had almost every car I owned either broken into or damaged.

Your choice I guess.

my 355 lived on the street in London for about half its life while I owned it (admittedly a very different price point to a 812), never had a problem. I think somebody did post it on Pistonheads at the time with a statement along the lines of 355 looking a little unloved or sth ...

If you can afford to live in central london and a nice new Ferarri, then I'd just do it.
You can afford a repair if needs be and life is too short to deny yourself something that you want as you're worried about a scratch once in a blue moon
It isn't going to get keyed, broken into , vandalised every month but any car parked on the street in a city has a chance of something happening to it

As an aside I saw Hugh Grant's car at the local driving range on Sunday !
I think it is fantastic he uses tdf as a daily driver.
