    This F12 simply couldn't have found a better home. It will be properly enjoyed and looked after, as only a true enthusiast and connoisseur like Mario can.

    I've already taken the liberty to congratulate Mario on the phone for his beautiful F12. As a friend, I couldn't be happier. Indeed an iconic, dream Ferrari, especially in this color combo!

    I'd like to wish Mario once again good health to enjoy his mesmerizing F12, as well as many, many miles of happiness and smiles!

    Kindest regards,

    Nuno.

    In the headliner the circle hides the track inner cams kit. There are two cameras one films the steering wheel (the driver's hands action) and the other the track and both combine the information with another feature which is Ferrari telemetry.

    On my Cali I have the Pilot Super Sports which I really like and what a diference they are to the previous Bridgstone. These Pzeros are almost brand new but as soon as they wear I'll follow your advice.

    Nuno thank you very much for your kind words which mean a lot to me because they come from a true gentleman which owns beautiful Ferraris and is also the moderator of the FerrariChat Portugal section and a true reference of the brand in our country.

    Kind regards and all the best

    Thanks for the info on the camera. That makes perfect sense. If I were doing track days that would be a fun option to have!

    Thank you Tom fits in the same place of the Cali but is a bit wider. Soon I'll do with my wife a trip like did recently and than I'll let you know how it feels.

    Tomorrow I'll try to do some pictures of the interior. I only drove about 10 Km but it feels super civilized and I love the direct steering. Well I opened the exhaust valves with the remote control and I'm not kidding is formula 1. I just gave it a bit of gas on a straight and the thing becomes really wild.

    Thank you Pedro (Obrigado), just had a tiny taste but really like the steering and the music coming from the engine. When you press and as expected the acceleration is brutal.

    Beautiful! Bellissimo! Congratulations Mario! You will discover there are many more layers to peel back on this "onion". The power and speed only build in a way that can be described as "astounding".

    Thank you for the compliment. So far the "onion" hasn't made me cry because I haven't peel back any layers yet. First impression, at low speed feels the creature is anesthesied and is a pleasure to drive and steer. I had just a quick glimpse of what happens when you free the monster just a little bit and ear the roar of the V12 with the exhaust valves opened………..I can't wait to peel back more.

    You will love it. As long as the roads are warm. I think I found around 68F and higher to be good. The car is so good with the e-diff and the F1 Trac to help you apply the power to the road. You can feel it, but most of the time its simply turned into forward thrust. And with all that power its really crazy. Yet, yes, at normal driving speeds, its somewhat comfortable and easy to drive and I think as long as you are not really going for it and respect the power, the F12 has a friendly and approachable personality. I have a feeling if you were to get it on track and get too aggressive with the throttle on corner exit, you might find the tail wants to come alive really fast. That's what my old 599 was like.

    I'm happy for you because soon you will have more tears of joy :)

    I can't wait for the weather around here to clear up!

    Thank you Tim. Tomorrow if I can I'll try to take some pictures of the interior but visually the Iroko interior combination with the black dashboard and the carbon applications looks good and not cheap combining very well with the outside Grigio Ferro.

    Sounds great and different. Ferro is definitely one of my favourite colours, in fact even considering it for the SF.

    Lovely car and the pics will have excited Deltona!
