    MS' new 599 GTB ?

    From Fchat

    One of posters from a swiss forum saw MS in his new 599 in Geneva.

    Of course he snapped some pictures with his gsm. Car is white, rims are chromed and rear lights are blacked.

    So that's what retired people drive ...

    It looks like a gift from the jean todt. Blacked rear lights, bling bling alloys ... Bad taste as it's best.

    When I saw the thread title, I thought our #1 South African car collector had purchased yet another amazing car during an unplanned visit to his dealer.

    Fortunately, our MS does not like cars that look they were just imported from Russia.

    I think they forgot to take the white plastic protection off from the factory

    That's true, Mike obviously has some better taste concerning cars than Michael.

    White is a good color if the car is in a sunny environment and the rest of the car is done with understated class.

    In Switzerland with chrome wheels and blacked out rear lights...

    First his blacked out FXX and now his white 599. He must have been sick of all the red during his ex day job.

    Is it an offense to drive without a front license plate in Switzerland?

    Wow, I know MS doesn't have particularly good taste in attire, but damn... I didn't expect this to apply to Euro 200k+ cars

    Contrast MS's car, and that of FM... theres no contest:

    I never understand the taste of JT and MS.
    JT have built the most beautifull 360cs (ex-Manuma) and he also have an all black FXX. Then he built the most bling bling 599 of the world.
    MS also have an all black fxx, why he built this 599?

    Ooops, of course you're right. Berlinetta Boxer, although no real boxer if I remember correctly. Let's put it this way:

    One of the most beautiful Ferrari-12-cylinders ever made.

    Re: MS' new 599 GTB ?

    Agreed, a beautiful car, as all the 60's - 70's Ferraris were (with the exception of the Bertone styled Dino 308 GT4) before cars had to be built like battering rams to satisfy safety regs. However maybe because it was my teenage "dreamcar" the 375 GTB4 Daytona remains my favourite
