Just got an F12!

[Jeweller70]

Wanted one for a while and got a deal on trading my FF

What a weapon. Picked up in the wet and its a real handful. Losing traction in Wet mode on part throttle in 5th!!!

Thoughts on tyres, I tried to get dealer to put new ones but they have a lot of tread but are 6 years old. This is a PIA with main dealers as the original tyres have gone hard.

PS4S??? I guess

Any other tips ?

Thanks, I have 458 as well good combo

Long running discussion with dealers. I agree tyres age but the standard is a visual inspection and tread depth not age.

I got them to change the battery as the last 2 approved Ferrari's I got needed new batteries within 2 weeks

The dealer has offered pay for new rears and the car is very nice only 6k miles and well looked after.

I race a fair bit so I can get tyres trade and my team can fit so will get some MPS4's.

Thanks,

Yep Nottingham

No real movement on price but where solid on my FF trade in. To be fair F12's have come down to what I believe is a fair level from last year. Will the drop further, probably, but life is too short.

I wanted low mileage, still on service plan and 2 year warranty that's worth a lot in my mind

Not bothered about carbon and race seats, I have these on my 458, so 6k miles, driver zone, tan interior and shields was the spec I wanted.

Yep great combo. Nice spider.

Both are such events.

Cars to me peaked between 2006 to 2012. I admire the forced induction F Cars but they dont move me. Sold my 488 and got a 458.

Had disaters with 2 Mclarens.

Porsche GT cars are still very good but I have raced Cup cars and currently have a 996 RSR so they make having a road version seem pointless.

Tempted by the new Boxster GTS though cracking value.

Pretty happy with my garage now.

Dry today so going to spend sometime with the F12 and will report back......

2 Mclarens both had loads of issues. Dealers are awful or rather McLaren won’t support them

Cars was good but didn’t blow me away.

What a car

Dry and got tyres warm, still need to think about throttle inputs.

At the top end its is truly unhinged

Lovely balance and one of the best Gearboxes I have used. Does the GT thing well if needed

Go for Bosch, they are very good. Put one on my FF and it never needed to be put on charge even if left for 3 to 4 weeks.

I know a main dealer who changes all the standard batteries on new cars!

I know because they tried to sell the originals to an independent near me......

PS4 going on next week and will get a GEO.

Actually a lot of fun with CT off and warm roads!
