Re: F142 revealed - Ferrari 458 Italia
I love this car! Much better looking than I expected. I do not like the stock wheels and would not want 20 inch wheels on a supercar, at least not on the front wheels, the CGT looks fine with 20 inch rears. I think one of the darker Ferrari greys with 19 inch Challenge wheels would look amazing! Photoshop anyone 
The interior moldings look a bit strange as well but what a car! 570hp is more than I expected.

Stefan,
I will get 458 Italia. What about you?
Rosso Corsa E Nero or Grigio Titanio E Nero?
Rang my dealer yesterday. 
Car will be delivered from February onwards, colour decision is tough.

i am set on rosso corsa... i loved the black but cant hide those gorgeous lines...
What do you guys think of a darker shade of red? Wasn't the original rosso corsa darker than today's colour?

Ever seen Rossa Barchetta? It's a darker shade of non-metallic Red and I love it on my 550 Maranello

Grant, I was acutally thinking about rosso barchetta when I wrote this, but wasn't sure about the name.
I could imagine this car in something different than rosso corsa, but no black whicht hides the beautiful lines too much for me and no silver/grey, which I prefer on a Porsche. Blue might be just a little bit too elegant, so that original red could be a nice change.

Congratulations, Grant.
I was wondering if I'd missed something or whether you were just kidding, 'cos I couldn't remember you mentioning an F550 before.
Half a 550 is still a helluva lot of car.
PS: I hope you make sure that your father also looks after his half well.

Thanks, Fritz! I've had it for several months - just been a bit shy. I'll post some photos of a tall mountain drive I took with some friends and their cars last week (13,000ft altitude = 4,000meters). Just waiting for friend to send the photos.

It just hit me that half a 550 should be 275. I only wish my half was a 275 GTB/4 with Aluminum body

I don't understand why Europe can order and get their cars first.
Because it's an European car from an European maker.
(but you can get your hands on something like a Pontiac Aztek first instead )
