    There are no mistakes, just thoughts, and you have what you have and you will LOVE it. Everyone on the board has thoughts of what they could have done, should have done, but we have what we have and its just wonderful !

    I expect it will be outstanding.
    BTW when I bought my giallo 458, the salesman was pained to point out that it is no longer "fly yellow." It is "Giallo Modena." He was quite insistent. I guess they don't like the car being compared to flies. :)

    Both my 330gts and Daytona were fly yellow probably before your saleman could spell "red" car!

    Whoa!

    What does it weigh?

    It must fly. Very cool.

    I'm with you. I was amused by the "correctness"

    When I was on my factory tour in Maranello one of our group asked where the term "fly yellow" originated. They told us the color, for some still unknown reason, always seemed to attract flies, to land on it.

    Don't you wonder where some of their appellations come from? There ought to be a thread of the derivation of the color names. Some are obvious - after racetracks or towns or importers but what, for example is Avus?

    Apocryphal I think. I find my white cars attract more flies than yellow. No "Bianco Fly" though. :)

    You're welcome! Check that website often as people upload sightings often and you may find other examples. I personally like the monochromatic cars.

    Congrats!

    It does fly will be interesting to put Cali and Stag side by side to see which is quicker. Personally I think the Cali but guy who built the engine recons he will beat me in the Stag!

    I have an Intermeccanica roadster with a 330hp Subaru WRX turbo that weighs around 1,900 lbs. fools a lot of people. My mechanic wants to tweak it to 550 but I don't own any rubber pants and think it would scare the c**p out of me! It's more fun than you're entitled to for $70k

    You can always have the top wrapped in black. I plan to do the same, and it's a tenth of the cost of a two colour Ferrari factory job.
