    Mark- Very pretty 550. Rosso Corsa and Crema are the UK popularity equivalents of the US' Rosso Corsa and Beige.

    Flore- Great photo. Ferraris somehow look great when contrasted against snow.

    On a beach somewhere South of Perth, West Australia, my 2004 Titanio Grigio / Bordeaux, 575M manual, 136052, FHP, 10mm front spacers, 25mm rear spacers, lowered 25mm at rear, 255 fronts, 335 rears, 3inch full exhaust, 4.2sec 60-100mph (stock 5.4sec), 60,000km, absolutely the best value Ferrari available, IMO the best looking Berlinetta ever, classic and timeless without any contrived aerodynamic excuses for design features, debadged to Daytona level. Now if they only built Cromadoras or Borranis to fit the tyres.......

    Love the car Willy and what you have done to it. The black badges and wheels are a nice touch. I agree the 550/575 are fabulous cars but don't agree they are the best, certainly in the top group though.

    Thanks Tassie, you will note my qualifications of best; best value Ferrari and best looking berlinetta. Certainly not THE best, but for us cash impaired how can one beat it?

    Thanks Domenic, I will call when I get to Calgary in June. The 60-100mph should be the same as in the Z06 you had previously. I'll bet you wished your 575 and Barchetta went like that.

    Received my 456 GTA today.

    Grigio Titanio, 4625 miles (not a typo). Very recent major completed with everything being sorted out with all work completed by Ferrari of Seattle including the new Tubi Exhaust System. Nice!

    Assembly #: 24360

    VIN: ZFFWP50A0V0107330

    So, if Mr. Platzer can add this car to his registry, that would be great. Also, would be nice to know the actual build date too. Thanks in advance.

    Believe the car was purchased from FOS, but at the time, I think the dealership was in transition from Grand Prix Motors to FOS.........But, this is just history and not all that important.

    The only flaw in the paint is on the drivers door edge and can be easily fixed. The fitted luggage was still in the flannel cover bags and have never been used. Car came with all the books, window sticker, trouble light, etc. Interior is as one would expect; it looks just like it was new.

    Contemplating adding the Challenge 19" wheels. I've done a little reading here on this forum about wheel change and using spacers, longer wheel lugs, so will this be required for the proposed wheel swap? Other suggestions on what wheels?

    Amazing find.

    The Challenge front wheels are narrower than the stock ones, and the 456 is already designed to understeer. Talked to a 456 owner who had them, and he admitted they made the car push more.

    Cheers,

    George

    Congratulations! I hope it brings you lots of enjoyment! :) Are the Ford GT, 355 and Porsche also part of your stable? Nice!
