    I would say "good old" TdF for the Pebble Beach car. I can't see but a metallic shine, doesn't look pearlescent at all to me.

    Never heard of Grigio Freddo, do you have any pictures? F1 2007 I might have heard of, but if you have pics also it would be nice to check.

    No pictures on my computer I'm afraid :(

    The only picture I saw of Grigio Freddo was in the Aterlier booklet at the dealer; it looked like a pale pearlescent grey, very soft and light - in the picture it looked beautiful.

    Disagree with them entirely on the race seats. They are very comfortable. Perhaps this test car had small or medium sized race seats fitted? Autocar described the race seats as "hard to fault, other than for their lack of height adjustment". The drivers seat can be height adjusted but it requires tools to do so.

    Yes, quite a few here have said they're very comfortable. They certainly feel great when you sit in them (no milage for me yet though, unfortunately).

    Argento, right?

    One of the colours I like the least for cars, so boring most of the times and has been used over and over and over... However, as it's not common in Ferraris, some of these look good from time to time. Plus, the combo with the interior is nicely thought.

    My cousin told me he doesn't want to attract attention so he purposely made it bland-looking. Mentioned something about not wanting to invite anyone's road rage. Must have had some bad experiences with some of his cars (he owns an Enzo, a 599GTB and a collection of classics - a '67 Miura, for example). Wish I had those problems!

    Nice try, but your cousin will need huge silencers and true camouflage to make that beast go by unnoticed! :D

    Is there more than one size tire available for the front? It seems on some cars the tire is too small, and others seem to fit nicely.
