This picture shows off the difference the RB has when the light hits it vs the rosso corsa 430 next to it.

Spotted! I thought that I recognised your plate. I parked my testarossa near yours at Salon prive.
Good spot smile

That was a stressful drive back as I arrived with tank nearly in empty and didn’t factor in the traffic to get back out again, and the shell was out of v power when we got there.

Other fuel grades work just fine as I discovered in Northern Italy where it's impossible to find anything higher than 95ron.

I've done it before but best to not put much in and top up later with the proper stuff.

I think we have all been there .. ran out of fuel in an M5 I used to own and it took around 10 litres of fuel to be able to start it back up again.

Woops. This thread is very dangerous and should carry a financial health warning…. After reading all the F12 love and speaking to one of Mr Ferraris nice dealers, I accidentally realised I had just bought one. Picking it up in the new year! Can’t wait… smile

Congrats! Was it the one at Meridian Modena? Looked stunning. Was there any movement from them on the price?

Congratulations, good choice of colour although I'm obviously biased. hehe

Thanks, although you have a lot to answer for! Your F12 RB porn has been very unhelpful (according to my bank manager)!
