V12V Replacement
Hello Everyone!
I haven't been around for a while, as I sold my beloved V12V this past spring.
Well I finally received my replacement after 8 long months of waiting.
She's a little more austentacious than my Aston was, but definitely just as fun!
I haven't been able to do a full test and review because there's already snow and the roads are already too cold for grip, but I will definitely be doing so in the spring!

By the way, I can break that car in for you over the winter. I'd even do it for free. Probably best to have someone (me) stretch it's legs at least on a weekly basis.

Thanks for the replies everybody!
The Speciale has a lot of real jagged lines, and I thought a metallic color was much better suited for showing the changes in light. I was told by a lot of people that red and tan was an absolute must for resale, but I've always bought my cars based on what I like.
I'll tell you though; specc'ing every detail like the body color, Caliper color, wheel color, stitching color, seat color and material, seat insert color and material, rev counter color, etc., etc., is truly an agonizing experience!
And then you wait almost a year to see if your choices turned out as you imagined, or if you might have made a mistake. But that is definitely part of the Ferrari (and Aston) order process; suspense and theatre!
Now it's just putting enough money aside to buy another AM. My wife still loves the V12V better than anything else we have ever owned.
You've got to appreciate our significant others though, it's tough competing with these mechanical mistresses!

Red is good for resale, but so is Silverstone Grey. Is that what color yours is? It's the other colors that can be a challenge for resale. For example, black F-cars take a while to sell, even at a substantial discount.

Rep Power: 18 Nero Daytona Metallic is actually my favourite color, but it's just too much work to keep clean. If I could afford a personal detailer to keep it up for me, that's probably the route I would have taken.

Wow congrats! One of my favorite cars (aesthetically that is as I have never driven one). Enjoy sir.
