    My new ride arrived...

    My dear friends from Rennteam, you know I'm a Ferrari guy. So I thought I put this here:

    My new car has arrived, I'm so happy. In fact I'm blown away. Smiley

    The aluminium chassis is absolutely fantastic and although these rear tyres are really fat, the whole car handles so well. Really easily controllable and agile into the smallest corners. Unbelievable how technology has advanced. Smiley

    It feels so light and nimble, I'm really looking forward to use it hard in a couple of weeks. Smiley

    Passenger comfort is great BTW, rather comfy inside. Smiley

    Haven't driven it much yet, but already now I can tell  that it's really practical in every day use. Boot space is rather big, you can even store your shopping goods there if you feel like like doing so.

    I'm really glad I went with rosso - nero. Thought about all black when I ordered it, but rosso - nero definitely is the way to go. Smiley

    Pics to follow soon, stay tuned! Smiley

    A Ferrari Rosso for Rossi 

    Choosing a black interior is great and better for my taste at least than Beige or Tan.

    Italia? What do all of you mean with "Italia"? I never said something like Italia, I was just talking about my new ride! Smiley

    So here we go, pics. Pics of my new beauty.

    Aluminium chassis, rosso - nero and fat rear tyres (please note the comfy interior and the big boot space as well) ... Smiley

     Some of you guys, who  would say their rear tires are really fatSmiley, I thought it might be a segway but not a car.

    In all fairness its not your new ride, its your child's

     

    BTW, what helps with the agility and cornering is the two separated apart front wheels, they do make a diffrence, especially when you start loading stuff into the storage area and it gets heavy

    Good one Rossi!  Judging by the ride height you may not need to go for the front lift system.

    Re: My new ride arrived...

    Thanks guys, I hope you don't mind a little fun.

    Little Mr. Rossi can be here any day now, so the new ride arrived just in time (REALZEUS and Ron: I will post a review and handling test then). Yes Carlos, you're absolutely right, it will be his ride, not mine. And you're right about the separated front wheels, they make it really controllable and easy to use. Ziggy, ride height is absolutely sufficient, that's for sure. Mike, I quit ceramic brakes this time, only went with a foot brake, saves further weight. And BTW Dimitri, April will be here soon.

    Thanks for all your comments and kind words.

     Sorry Stefan, there was no way you were going to surprise us with new 458. As with Dimitri, we all would have been involved and share the fun of the order.Smiley

    However, I am surprised that you are expecting a little one. No Ferrari will match that.
