Confess your pointlessly but totally worth it drives here chaps...

Not a V12, but i do sometimes use my Ferrari V8 to pop to the local deli to buy bread. On saturday, we went to Morrisons

I haven't taken the F12 to Morrisons yet, but I did take the 4C there a few times to do the Saturday shopping. That got some odd looks

[DeejRC]

The biscuit run was to B&M Bargains which is opposite Morrisons They are the only place I know that does proper Lions Midget Gems and Fruit Salad. An addiction of mine!

[DeejRC]

I like the stories of pointlessly useless jolly fun trips chaps

[DeejRC]

Jolly well done Leg!

[DeejRC]

Bad news chaps…my wife bought me a cpl of tops in the wrong size and the shop is the other side of Dartmoor.

Good news chaps…my wife bought me a cpl of tops in the wrong size, the shop is the other side of Dartmoor, it’s a sunny day, I’ve no meetings this after and I have an F12 to get there!

[DeejRC]

This weekend has been mostly piss wet through, so obviously the chaps and I had planned a bit of a mini touring weekend round Wales.

[DeejRC]

Today I took the F12 left out of a car park on a very light throttle…and found myself at 50-60degrees v shortly thereafter at less than 20mph.

That was interesting.

What tyres is your F12 shod with and where was the Manettino set at.?

Sorry Taf, missed this.

She is still on the Zeros she came with.
And Race of course

[DeejRC]

You can really go off some ppl Leg…

[DeejRC]

Some will go on in the spring.
She was certainly skittish this morning in the 0C conditions.

She either goes on sottos in the next week or so or gets tucked up for winter.

[DeejRC]

Good going Leg

[DeejRC]

Top bombing Leg!

I offer a note of caution on the burial though. I had similar statements about being buried in my 4C, as it was the closest thing to a modern Stratos and I loved it. I still sold her for the F12 earlier this year though…

I really really want to be brave enough to keep racking up the miles like I have done in the F12 since July, but I’ll have to wimp out soon.

[DeejRC]

Cake…doing the tip run beats my B&M shopping. Well done Sir

DeejRC I hope you were in B&M with a Waitrose bag. My Morrisons bag looked very out of place in the 599

Er...my bags are a mix of B&M, Morrisons, Waitrose and COOP.

[DeejRC]

And today I’ve sold her.
Had to take advantage of the price rise and it’s starting to get sunny again. I’m always a natural roadster boy, so it’s time for fun car shopping again

Getting in and out of a V12 Ferrari after putting 11,000 miles on her with deposit and dosh intact is as good as it gets to me.

[DeejRC]

Immediately? Cheap n cheerful SLK for the summer.
Medium/long term? A 360 Spyder Manual and SLK32 to keep.

[DeejRC]

That’s how I look at it Cake.

I have some very simple rules in life.
Rwd beats fwd.
2 seats beats 4 seats.
2 doors beats 4 doors.
Topless beats roofs.
Animals beat children.
North beats south.
Everything beats Surrey.

Simple really.

[DeejRC]

Well done that chap
