Colori Grigio FF on the Road

Perhaps taking a crack at the average American's lack of an enhanced vocabulary, is not the wisest course of action, for someone who does not know what the word your means.

 

Nikkis- Go away. Nobody was talking to you.

Nikkis,

How about leaving the Grammar Police job to trained professionals...?

I would strongly suggest that it might be in your best interest to refrain from posting unless you have something productive and contributory to say...

What you're posting is divisive and distracting.

There's no good reason to be that way. Sometimes what you don't say can speak volumes.

Mike- Thank you. How are things in the other desert?

Love it or hate it the FF does what every Ferrari should. It stirs the passions.

 

Proper grammer has the "your" hyphenated as "you're" as in "you are" so please keep the U.S. of A. bashing to a minimum.... Besides, there was a smiley face after his comment...
Tony............

 

All three versions are acceptable. Incidentally the correct spelling of grammer is grammar.
I believe grammer is a Canadian grandmother.
As a citizen of the USA it's appropriate for me to comment on the sad state of our educational system which in 2 generations has undone 225 years of reverence for the spoken word.

Is this a monolgue or soliloquy ?

"To be or not to be - that is the question
Whether tis best to pay the Grigio FF upcharge
Or to take the standard Grigio Silverstone
And be like all the rest. To dream, to aspire
No more....it is in the MODIS and now we can rest"

Apologies to Hamlet and Will S

 

Tony- You should always check your grammar (not grammer) and spelling before jumping into a thread and playing grammar Nazi.

The average English-speaker has a vocabulary of less than 1000 words is what I think Cariad was trying to say.

Speaking of the FF...
Here is what the configurator says Grigio FF should look like. It's interesting to compare to what it looks like in the flesh.

Conversely, this is how I would spec one.

Is that Gateway?

 

Right on !

 

I am really anything but a grammar nazi as my southside public school education will attest to... I was just trying to point out the smiley face that was there and limit the US bashing.... I for one used to say the 458 looked terrible in posts so as to not have to wait until this August to get one.....

Tony..............

 

Hi Tony,

My pedantic ramblings were initiated by the poster who described the FF as "a piece of crap " I saw no smiley face there. Your 458 will be a blast, mine arrived August last year and I have been inwardly smiling ever since !

 

Ingrio will be gorgeous on the FF. Very underappreciated color.

Best of luck.

Forza,


Cavallini

 

Drove the FF briefly: smooth and comfortable followed by point and squirt like a 458 with an engine that really really "moves you" in every sense

Car shrinks around you.

Simply exceptional

 

I still can't wrap my head around 368lb ft from 1000rpm. Can you elaborate on the engine characteristics more? Thanks for sharing!

 

Peter, you must be one of the first, a real privelege !
In CH or F does your dealer show on the options price list an upcharge for one of the six special launch colours,
Thanks

 

I actually got to drive a factory car that was leant to us for our 500 Ferrari against cancer event.

Re the paints yes they are an option (as you will see above, I changed the colour of mine from CdF to Grigio Silverstone as the cost was absurd!)

 

It is like a big AMG engine at low revs in the manner in which it literally tears you away and then it screams up through the rev band like a real .... Ferrari!

 

Bryan- Go borrow a 7 liter Z06 so you can get the feel of that much torque right off idle. The Z06 gives up the ghost (and 100+ hp) 1000 rpm before the FF, though.

Good point, Ferrari has done an amazing thing with these latest engines. The V12s have always had massive torque but never this low in the rev range, even the V8s are creating good growly torque

 

More like stirs the bowels.

 

You are making it appear like I am some sort of commie agitator. You have to look at it in the context of what Cariad and Taz have been saying. Cariad and Taz have been implying that I am some sort of illiterate, to discount my opinion on the FF. To counteract such implications, as well as to steam them up a bit for making such implications, I corrected their writing.

Besides, it is not like I am a prolific poster, in here. I occasionaly come to Waziristan, have a look around, do a few drones strikes, and then skeddadle back to the other forums. It is never a full invasion, so you are making mountains out of FF hills. Although, if you mods were not around, then I'd reckon I'd do a full invasion, with a combined arms force.

 

The seat (!) of many emotions indeed.
