    I got it since last week, I only did 400km with it, I'm waiting to take my girlfriend and pick up a friend with it to the restaurant, and I wanted to share my love with this car.

    EVERYTHING IN IT IS PERFECT, own one and you'll feel for the first time you don't need to research for another car, this one is the full answer to my personnal everlasting automotive question.

    The rear place are small but can acommadate 2 normal ladies, avoid NBA player in the back altough, the engine sound spells S-E-X-Y each time you press the pedal, you don't have to drive fast to feel the speed, it's modern day pratical !! I can charge my 3GS on the USB port and stick my red bull in the drink holder. I know you might laugh, but how many time di you ask yourself where to put your empty beverage in your Fcar before ???

    Sorry the girl is ready I shall go.

    Base is 198,000. But, with the most popular options, think 225.

    the car door is open and the front seat is tilted completely forward. i would like to see this with the door shut, the front seat with a person sitting in it. i drove one today at my dealer and i would be shocked to see this happen

    looks like the guy sitting in the back is fairly uncomfortable and squished :( Definitely seats for the legless types.

    Here you are some pictures but sorry to disappoint some of you, there's no ladies in it :)

    One is taken at the country side the other was taken the delivery day, by looking at them you can tell the thrill of driving her made me forget all about correct picture framing...

    For those who doubt, the secret to fit the ladies is simple as hell, you have to move forward the front seat and rise the steering wheel so the shake of your knuckle under heavy acceleration don't do the steering for you.

    It's certainly not a range rover , but the fun of driving an open top ferrari with 4 people in it (including the driver) is worth a little sacrifice.

    By the way the car is around 800km now, the love is growing wild by now, it's the ultimate ALL-IN-ONE SUPERCAR: coupé + cabriolet + 2 seater + 4 seater + discreet and wild.

    I used to read like a mad man all the car magazines and blog, that frenzy is over for now, I feel car-complete.

    If the final 33 1/3% of my life work out as planned, I'll one day, be "polishing & preserving" that very same color combo of that very same model, in my very own garage !

    BTW, I promise to do a Berlinetta Shade for our stunning "California" -------------- will get on that immediately - we'll call it the Garfield Exotics "CALIFORNIA SHADE".

    Cheers all,

    Hank








    Cheers, Hank

    I think the Cali needs some getting used to. Unlike other Ferrari's the California needs certain colors to look truely great. I personally think the Rosso doesn't work out that well. The color you chose for your Cali, combined with the dark red interior, truely stands out! It is a fantastic looking car and I think you'll enjoy every single mile you put on the car.

    Just seeing your California makes me very very jealous ;) (in a good way that is!)

    Almost as good as movie reviews:

    "I laughed, I cried, I kissed $400k good bye!"

    Very nice color combo - love it with the roof closed. The choice of the dark tan (what's that color called, BTW?) is the best for dark exteriors. It also looked great in the black Novitec car discussed here recently.

    As was mentioned, this car really needs a metallic color to show off the smooth surfaces.

    Edit: oops - just saw in your profile interior is Bordeaux - c'est plutot rouge, non? Also very nice.
