    I'm dying to see your 456 as I've mentioned previously it's one of my favourite modern Ferrari's. I've always been disappointed that there's none left n Singapore.

    Driving a wrong hooker on narrow roads really requires a good navigator who is "driver" & thus understands distances & speeds ... I had many near misses in Japan around Mt Fuji with people overtaking when they shouldn't have because they were unsighted.

    Parking in Monaco was easy .. I was staying at the Hotel de Paris, and they parked it for me :) .. but visiting Monaco and driving the circuit should be on the bucket list of every car fanatic!

    when it's priced below the 458 it's more a 458 killer .. luckily for Ferrari they're not building similar numbers

    Thanks mate, if you're in Sepang this weekend, I can pass you the keys :) but not for the track! Just had it painted, remembered I told the guy LeMans blue but he did it black again.

    So, u're one of those Fuji boys :D

    Cool, how many days do we need in Monaco?

    many thanks Leang! my planned mods are pretty conservative - just a Stage 1 tune, rear anti-roll bar, chassis brace, and the whiteline anti-lift kit. I'm probably gonna do most of the work at Horizon Auto Tuners at kaki bukit, but I've yet to choose the workshop for my Stage 1. how much does Exquisite Marques charge for a Stage 1? I've got a feeling it won't be cheap! :)

    congratulations Jon! looks to be an epic adventure.

    Yeap it's priced slightly lower than the 458 in the UK. 1000 units planned for 1st year with a total of 4000 units over the next 4 years.
    For the previous few models like the 360 and 430, the total production numbers have exceeded 4000...

    I'm hoping to be at Sepang but something came up today so I'm a little doubtful. I've driven the 612 on track, after that experience I wouldn't dream of tracking the 456

    I stayed in Monaco 4 days, but I'd recommend staying elsewhere & just visiting for the day .. plus it's a lot cheaper

    Lung, can the Sg club give me some decals? I'd like to tell the locals that we're from Singapore & Malaysia. When I was driving there last year with the roof down, I heard the locals say we're from Japan :p

    I thought production nos of 360 went well in tens of thousands, being the best selling model ever & probably even more for 430.

    Saw that a 360 spider is only asking for 53K pds in UK last night which means that the export body from our side can barely breach S$150K....

    Looks like McL will be very sought after with such low nos which keeps it's status being in check. I see a Ferrari at least once a day in KL/PJ!

    Grazie! I'll be glad to supply pics/info etc to the club & pass on the spirit to the community. U don't actually own a Ferrari till you visit Maranello!

    All Asians are fair but some are fairer than others :D
