Hey V12ers.

So I have a couple of more interesting finance quotes and the FF purchase is starting to look doable...and then I reached out to a pal of mine who works at a really good Ferrari specialist and he said: "FFs are hard work if I'm honest, we have a lot of problems with them."

I sort of take this in the context of "well you only see the troublesome cars anyway" (they have very very extensive facilities so do some proper engineering work).

I want to get a feel for when I'm letting myself in for. ALL performance cars need maintenance and none are perfect (even 911 turbos). My understanding is that the PTU is a PIA...and then is quite a lot of froth about the ceramic brakes. If the rest is niggles which don't really arise if you actually drive the car regularly and service it then it'll be OK....or is it a disaster waiting to happen.

I'd love to get a feel for the problems...

This is so useful

I’m going to go look at the VVS car next weekend. My other cars are a Cayenne Turbo and a tuned Vantage V8S. So I’m used to needy cars.

Whichever car I go for, Furlonger will be inspecting it. They are rigourous…

A blue car per Shmee 150 or Chris Harris would be fab but there are none on the market.

Is there nobody who can offer aftermarket car play ? I have aftermarket car play on my Cayenne and on the old Aston.

Blu Potzi is a wonderful colour btw

I’m not sure it’s Furlonger’s bag. They didn’t seem especially interested in retailing FFs. Perhaps it would be different if we’re a car they knew very well.
