Keep forgetting to buy one of those.... the climbing across the seats to either get ticket or throw cash at machine got a little old this week in Italy and France
Yes, I forgot that solo drivers in RHD cars benefit from the tags in a way that travellers with co-drivers or LHD cars don’t 
ETA: The tags are also a godsend for women as my wife struggles to reach the toll ticket/payment machines even when driving a LHD car.

They can be tricky to reach depending on which car you are in and those curbs are high, so you better don’t touch them as that will be not only your rim but also part of your car that will be scratched
Does have the advantages of accelerating away from standstill/low speed multiple times per trip

The VVS FF has been for sale for ages. Not sure why, probably best to just give them a call and go and view it if it's the spec you want. It took me around four months of looking until I found my perfect FF. When I originally started looking my budget was around the 105k mark but that wasn't enough for the spec I wanted.
I ended up spending quite a bit more for this FF from Meridien Modena. It's an epic car and I love it to bits. It's only covered around 11k miles from new. Took my teenage son down with me to pick it up from Ashurst. Matthew from Meridien picked us up from Ashurst staion in a Ferrari Roma. It was an amazing day. The drive back up North was a day to remember for the both of us.

I've been keeping my eyes on these since the false start I had with a Taycan Cross Turismo that was sold back to the supplying dealer with 400 miles on it.
An FF is the only car I really have any interest in whatsoever.
There have been very few hitting the market this year.
Ideally I'd like something post 2015 in any blue, any green or Grigio Titianio with a light interior.
I dislike privacy glass to an obsessive degree, but that's not a deal breaker as I can get it changed.
Not overly keen on the particular shade of cuoio leather that looks like David Dickinson orange either. Crema, Sabbia or Beige are more my bag. Would be very tempted by that choccy one above though.
Happy to wait for the right one to appear.....on the offchance you are reading this and have one that fits the criteria and would consider moving it on.

So what sort of finance deals are being quoted at the moment (in terms of % balloons and such) at the moment?
JBR are quoting 7.9% APR (which I think is expensive considering)
Lombard 6.4%, VWFS 7.3% - all rates have gone up since base rate was moved up, plus lenders are nervous. JBR are quoting 7.9% APR (which I think is expensive considering)
I see Eurospares are breaking a couple of late Californias. These have the later OEM stereo with DAB & Carplay. Looks the same as the later FF one. I'm wondering whether to take a punt on one of these to upgrade my pre-DAB FF head unit. I can't see the wiring being vastly different, apart from the DAB antenna. They all use quadlock OEM. Any views? I've never had my 2012 head unit out.
Plenty of FF owners have asked their dealers if the later units can be retrofitted and the answer, apparently, is No.
But I would have thought that if you can replace the original mygig unit with an aftermarket Pinoneer/Sony/Clarion/Kenwood then why not the later OE unit too.
I suspect that the plugs on the back will be different and require an adapter loom.

My after market unit has DAB - the whole dashboard needed to come out to install it - not sure if the later unit works, but ferrari offered an OEM upgrade at some point - decided against that as I think it is / was quite expensive. ANOpax said:

It's in the catalogue as an option, and I guess still just a double DIN unit. I did see an FF with an aftermarket Kenwood, but I can't remember how it looked.But I would have thought that if you can replace the original mygig unit with an aftermarket Pinoneer/Sony/Clarion/Kenwood then why not the later OE unit too.

Yes, I saw it was available as an OEM upgrade, but was something like £5K. I have a separate DAB receiver which is OK, but not great, and the maps on the old head unit are useless. Do you have any pictures of your different unit?I have just found out that the original head unit is a Becker NIT, and a complete head unit, with speaker outputs etc, but the later unit is a Becker VP4 NIT, and has a separate display and electronics, although the electronics seems to just be bolted behind the display.
I guess it's going to be go down to Eurospares and see what the units look like, then see if I can cut some loom off if needed.
So today I've put a deposit on this car subject to an inspection by Ferrari.

I have the private plate it was registered on and the 14 plate it's currently on. Plus a load more photos which all show the current owners property so it wouldn't be reasonable to post those.
Anyone happen to know it?
