    Is that yours?

    Also, reading your signature, Do you also collect VIN from lowly California's?

    It is not mine; I'm not yet a Ferrari owner. But if it was mine, I would never post here, because I would be out driving it every waking moment of my life.

    I collect VINs (and serial numbers) of all Ferraris - there is no such thing as a "lowly" Ferrari in my opinion. If it was built at the Ferrari factory, I strive to know the VIN and record it; even if it's wrecked, rebuilt, imported, de-ported, impounded, crushed, set ablaze, stolen, painted matte purple with metallic brown hearts, I don't care - the goal is to document every Ferrari ever built. And a member here gave me a ride in his California once, and it was awesome. It sounded fantastic, it had plenty of get up and go, and I was thoroughly impressed (to the point of amusement, because I had read so many detractors' opinions up to that point - literally I was laughing when he hit the gas and we sped off). I think if Ferrari built manual Californias for the US, it would be heralded as one of the contemporary Ferraris to have in one's collection. Imagine a modern-day front-engined compact Ferrari 2+2 with a stick... Fantastic.

    If I had this car, I'd immediately sell it for a high price to some of those people who buy a shifted Fcar to save money when it comes to repair the transmission.

    There was a thread about this awhile back. How many was estimated? 6 or 7? I believe there are two, where someone messed up and installed the steering wheel in the wrong position:D

    I cant really believe anyone would take a shift rather than the DCT. I cant.

    Some of us find it enjoyable, believe it or not. But only if the car is white.

    Now that was pretty funny:D

    But there is something about a gated shifter. It just feels "nice":)

    I think you're right on the number. They were all Euro cars I believe, and from what I remember, two of them were UK spec.
