    Speechless.

    Great work as usual Mike, two 458s, and that blue is stunning!

    Very nice. You shouldve had one pic with the 458 and the Testa. ;)

    Nice, I would love to see how that blue looks in the sunlight as well.

    It is in the sun in those pics. It's Pozzi blue... looks black in the shade & barely looks blue in the sun.

    Great pictures working in those conditions. I especially like the tight head on shot of the headlight for the Blu Pozzi 458! Thanks Mike

    umm, not to argue, but all those pics are in the shade or with heavy cloud covering the sun. I'm talking about direct sunlight hitting the car. I'd like to see if it has any metallic flake or is it just solid blue.

    Yeah, I'm a photographer & I've been doing this a while. You are correct to say that they are not in the direct sun. Automotive photos don't come out very well when there is direct sun. This was late in the evening after 5pm. Pozzi Blue is non-metallic. There was plenty of light out but I prefer to take darker photos. All of my photos are like that... it's my style.

    I disagree with Chas, I love the seat pattern, color of leather and navy trim interior.

    I think it's the most stunning interior I've seen on any modern Ferrari. I usually hate pipping because it's usually everywhere on the seats. And the color of the pipping is a color that I've never seen in a Ferrari before.

    Mike, is the 360 in the background yellow or white? Hard to tell under that yellow tent.

    Exceptional shots of the 458's together.

    But admittedly, what I'm really liking is that tdf 360 Spider. Any more pics of that old beauty? :)

    Awesome shots as always Mike.

    That Pozzi looks goooooddd on the 458.

    Just one question, and you know I have to ask...

    Did they say if that blue one has the bonded shields, or riveted shields?

    Just curious, because if that one burns, I want to be able to save a pic or two.
    A car that sexy needs to live.

    If I had known you were swinging by there, I would have asked you to shoot some pics of the Burgundy 599. (the one no one wants)

    Next to the red one it's easy to see how much better the car looks lowered.

    Thanks bro!

    They told me that both of the 458s that have come through FoA were delivered with the new parts.

    I was told that the 3 year old 599 with 150 miles is now off the market. It was on consignment and now the owner has decided to keep it. It was tucked away where I really couldn't get and decent photos of it.

    BTW, it wasn't the sensor. My shutter broke and wasn't moving all the way out of the sensor's view when I was taking fast shots. I got a pretty good deal on a lightly used D50, so I'm back in business. :)

    Oh, good deal. Glad to hear that you didnt need to spend an arm or a leg to replace it.

    That reminds me, I finally got my front lowering springs installed, so we may need to set up a shoot next time I am in town.


    Glad to see that the newer 458's that are arriving in the US have the shields attached with the rivets. Good to know that if it does catch fire, its not the adhesive, just the electrics going over all Italian.

    Sorry to hear that the 599 got taken off the market, too bad I couldnt make an offer before the owner decided to keep it.
    I would have snatched up a row-your-own over a flappy paddle box, in a heartbeat, with the proper funding.
