trying to post other pics but get a 'no image to upload' message after I hit upload...anyone know why that is?
Click on this link :

https://imgur.com/

Click on the green "New Post" tab in the top left hand corner.

That will open another page. Click on "Choose Photo/Video"

That will take you to your PC's file options or phone's Images.

Go to the Picture file on your PC (or on your phone, it'll take you to your photo albums. Open the album and tap the image you want to upload) Open the file on your PC then click/highlight the image you wish to upload, then click on the "Open" tab.

That will take you back to the Imgur upload page, when the image has uploaded it will appear in the centre of the page.

Hover the cursor over the image, and in the top right hand corner you'll see a small box with three dots in it.

Click on that box and it'll open a tap with three options, the second one down is "Get share links". Click that and then go to the line that says (BBC Forum) click the green tab that says "Copy link" and paste that link into your post on here.

I had to do this to upload pics of my new RS..

Yes I got the impression that they vet all their stock pretty well so would be suprised if anything they were selling wasn't a good example...they are moving to a new bigger site in 2021 which is much needed given the amount of stock they have! Maybe a 720S could be the next car down the line but for now I'm gonna enjoy the 570S as much as I can it really is a level up from anything I've owned before.

Quite funny even on the drive back had so many positive reactions from people, stopped at a random petrol station on the A1 woman comes out of the shop stops and stares at the car with mouth almost agape...she asks what is it??..recovery lorry driver at same station toots the horn with a big thumbs up...I guess these cars are super rare out on the road still even tho they've been in production for a few yrs.

Yup...you better get used to that!

In 15 years of constant Ferraris i never had that so it was a tad strange to begin with, but now just seems the normal reaction.

Outstanding purchase and looks stunning....only problem being is i had a quick look at their stock and they have a RR sport SVR in a similar orange to my mac which my wife seen and straight away loved 'and that we could be twins'...banghead

Even if I am not a fan of modern machinery, it is a pleasure to see people like you and some others on here using it. As mentioned, they are rare and sounds pretty amazing.

I am based at the start of one of the most amazing mountain roads in Savoie so we are privilege to see pass hundreds of car enthusiasts all summer going up the road. Sometime my 8years old and I stand on the side of the road to watch when a big convoy pass and in all honesty, most of the owners when they see my little boy watching always make sure they give a nice rev of the engine!

His highlights are generally McLaren and Lamborghini models. I am always happy with the old Porsche and Ferrari. I really miss driving my old cars.

Enjoy driving!

Your new car looks fab thumbup

I had a similar first journey home earlier this year, you get used to the positive comments after a while. I hope you enjoy the car as much as I did, mine's sold and looking for a Spider now.

I thought you had done a deal on a spider?

So did I! I agreed a price on a Volcano Red 650 Spider but subject to an inspection by Thorney Motorsport but it failed miserably due to seized turbo actuator and worn cam followers and other associated bits where it had been run low on oil or had been thrashed from cold. Quoted £14800.00 to repair and dealer refused to cover it unsurprisingly so I backed out and got my deposit returned, back to the small ads again.
