    You should write a book called "The Atelier Odyssey"

    I hope all the saga will finish in something satisfying for you

    I am sure you will get a clear understanding of what they did soon.
    However some clients asked for and received pictures of their car at the factory after the standard 3 pictures were sent. Their car was simply parked outside and photographed in the sunshine and pictures were then sent to them. May not be much sunshine there in December though!

    Yes, the little roundabout in downtown Maranello (city center), right next to Ristorante Drake.
    Car is coming from Via Abetone Inferiore and probably going on the Via Nazionale towards the hills (Appenine), which begin right after the roundabout.

    Love round-about. It's just so much more efficient than traffic lights. Plus the center of it is such a great place to put landmarks and monuments. It's too bad the US doesn't embrace round-about...so few of them around.

    Have you ever been to Milton Keynes, UK?
    There must be a thousand or more roundabouts just in that strange city, it's a total nightmare, I'd call it roundabout-galore or world capital of roundabouts, absolutely confusing. Which ever city planner did that needs to go see his doctor......

    But better back to F12 tdf's now.

    Thanks Marcel, not sure what happened with the color balance as the original pics have more blue to them but I can tell you all in person this particular car looks far better than in pictures. I'm also not a huge fan of the "lipstick" livery, but to each their own. As long as the fortunate owners are happy with the result. For what its worth, I really like this one posted by Sir_Ferrari. I would be curious to see this spec without the stripe, it might be a little plain, or maybe it would work just as well or even better (to my eyes) but the one thing for sure is its a great looking car and it works in a wide variety of colors and even with various liveries.

    What was your room number at the Maranello Palace at the time you took the pix?

    I've forgotten, Marcel (what was it?!). Time was circa 04/10, though, and an extended stay resulting from closed airspace due to prevalent Icelandic volcano ash.

    No. His car has Rosso Interior with blue carbon. This is a different car.

    That's awesome !! I was waiting for more pics but I didn't want to harass you.

    Rosso TRS is simply gorgeous. Is it a triple layer paint ?

    My garage would probably look like that If I could. Your automotive tastes are simply impeccable

    Can you confirm you especially asked for a Gloss finish for the wheels instead of the normal mate finish ?

    That is exactly what I would have done on my "dream" Grigio Scuro tdf...

    Congrats !

    Nice collection and nice garage! It looks like you can also wash your car there since it's got a drain.

    Hi Olivier

    Yes, the wheels, mirrors and stripes were all specifically ordered to be glossy black at Taylormade. I did the same glossy black wheels on my speciale.

    Rosso TRS is a multi-layered paint. The pictures I took didn't really show the color well. I will get a professional to shoot some pictures in the near future. My GTO is RC and it looks almost orange next to the Rosso TRS. Thanks

    We share the same vision. A red that looks deeper and more "bloody" than RC, and gloss finish for the wheels.Perfect.

    What an amazing garage Mytoys. Ticks all the boxes in terms of car selection and design.
    I take a deep bow.
