    You're building a very nasty V12 Front engined ferrari collection.

    Congrats Romo !

    GTO x 2 & Aperta isn't it ?

    Can you post more picture of the aperta and your entire collection ?

    Your new username.

    I love your collection since I prefer front engines Ferraris.

    Add a daytona and it's my absolute dream garage.

    i love the fraternity of fchat! it's often hard, if not impossible, to have "non fchatters" appreciate the passion for the brand which is something we all share in common. :)

    Fantastic collection and choices.
    Now you have the Aperta, do you regret letting the 575 SA go?
    Would have been nice.

    360CS, 599GTO, 550 Barchetta and 575SA all great collectibles that remain within reach.
    With more budget, 599 Aperta.

    You nailed it.

    Agreed, but I would argue that it also stands for more & something we take for granted which is a rare quality this day and age.

    Nothing compares to Ferrari. Ferrari sells dreams, not cars! We all achieved our dreams and that is something we share in common more than the brand. We refused t0 accept reality and we allowed our passion or obsession run rampant in a positive direction!

    We all are always wanting more & I think that is exactly what embosses the brand also.

    Wow. This is a helluva collection. ROMO, can you tell me the serial number of your new Aperta (and your other GTO)? I recognize the Bianco Italia 599 GTO - I imagine you got it from Ferrari of New England; and your F12 was spotted in South Riding back in June. Is your F12 dark red? It looks a bit darker than Rosso Corsa in pictures - I'd be interested in learning the name of the color. Congratulations on the Aperta.

    Congratulations … very nice Aperta not to mention the rest of the stable. Impressive line up of V12's you've got there. Being a V12 fan myself I can only admire your collection and say … well done and drive them as often as you can.

    Congratulation! You have a very impressive Ferrari collection! Can't wait to see more pictures of your SA Aperta and the whole collection!

    PS: Do you also want to get a LaFerrari? :)

    Romo,

    You are now officially my F car idol ! Absolutely magnificent 599SA. How about some more pics ? I'd love to see the interior.

    So an SA, 2 GTO's and an F12 - awesome V12 F car collection. Add in a 550 Barchetta and 575 SA and I think you will reach rock star status.

    As a matter of fact I do regret letting the SuperAmerica go however, we are on the look out for one in pristine condition.

    Additional Aperta Pics! However, I must say that the nero stellato paint is amazing with the gold/beige metallic flakes which is picked up by the sabbia interior.

    The opaco silver on the pillars ties in superbly with the opaca silver interior mid dash and the wheels.

    I had some trepidation about the color combinations before I purchased the car BUT it just flat out ALL works together.

    From a "very brief" drive I was able to tell that the suspension felt different than the GTO's and was a bit more "ride engineered" which I had previously read would be the case. So for what it's worth the car reviews were accurate on this point.

    Is Aperta sounds like GTO or different?
