    I sold my 79 BB, I was happy with the number.

    Going to a good Ferrari Dealership.

    I have a line on a 599 with a 6speed manual.

    599 ! Yes ... also as daily driver ! 6-speed: no .... heared very aweful rumours about that gearbox ...

    Also in the F1 there seem to be a bad (1st version) and good version ... but go to the appropriate section for that ... :) I see that you are there already !

    I think after a bad engine issue, he redid many things twice. But once resolved it was great from what I remember of his stories. Car looked beautiful in yellow & black, someone was happy.

    Shame to see it go, but if they didn't we wouldn't get to all share in the enjoyment a Boxer can bring.
    I will hold my one for a little longer or until my wife realises its not worth $60,000 :)

    Hope you didn't have to sell the house too?
    Good luck with the 599!

    599 is great.

    I may look for a 599 GTO in the spring.

    It was time to move on, some health issues mostly. ( chemo had an effect on my joints)

    The house sold this morning. All the money, no dickering, no inspection, 15 day closing.

    Hey, the new owners even purchased staged furniture>!!

    I do have a plan for a great garage at my other home.
