Here's what I saw today - Part II (Please read the rules before posting)

CharlieCroker

By the look of the front numberplate, he's already had a run in with a speed bump or kerb.

Gatster

Few more. Have to say it's a huge car, it seemed much bigger than a 599 but you'd need to see them side by side.

L-M

To be you would buy that style of a car if you were buying anything but a Ferrari...

Horrible looking Ferrari...

Cool looking if it was anything else, lol.

I'd be interested to hear why you'd compare it to a 599 considering it's so different. For starters it has back seats

Different-ish function of car but a similar size - 599 is slightly wider but this is longer, however proportionally the 599 is much better IMO although I like the 'shooting brake' GT style of the FF.

This car is replacing the 612 scaglietti in their line up, not the 599, as far as I'm aware. The arse doesn't look great but appart from that i think its quite nice.

Correct, but I've never seen a 612 in the metal oddly enough, hence my comparison! It seemed to me to be a very colour sensitive shape, for once red may not be the best colour for a Ferrari

No it's not. The FF is wider, and longer.

The F12 is replacing the 599 btw.

Perhaps Wikipedia isn't as accurate as you think:

I saw a grey 612 in Milan in march, its actually very understated car, at a passing glance you might not even notice it.

Saw a nice blue Ferrari 599 on Aungier Street this afternoon then a new gunmetal grey Toyota GT86 in Rathfarnham, very cool looking car. Sorry no pics as I was driving ..

Ballyshannon today

I don't find that Aston Martin nice at all. The soft top roof doesn't sit right with the shape of the car.

Must admit my pics dont do it justice. It was a beaut in the skin (to me at least). I missed it rolling tho, would loved to have heard it on the move

I would give my left testicle and then my right testicle to see that car sitting in my driveway.

You'd imagine that for the cost of the car, they'd have a perfectly levelled reg number :pac:

ValerieR that plates were only temporary All arabs had to change them for something possible to read instead of that thing like "*&##@&" but i like them any way - they look nice

DBU mean he's from Dubai, Q on the plates mean Qatar but most of them kept arab style plates

Speedway
