    A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet a great Ferrari collector around the circuit of Assen. I think everyone should take example from this man as he's not afraid to put mileage on his car. An example?

    That day I managed to ride his 14 months Ferrari F12 TDF and wanna know how many kilometers he covered so far? 66.000km which is about 41.000 miles!

    Wow! You have to admire someone who gets to use their car frequently. It appears from the video he knows the car very well. I would love to hear his thoughts on how it drives. It looks and sounds great! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank God there are still people, who buy these cars to use them as they should.

    In the mean time I still have people, who are telling me that I will never sell my 80 000KM Scud, which is 3 times older than this TDF :)

    My 2014 458 spider has 116,000 km.

    I'm keeping her :)

    I hope to be driving a new 812 next year and plan on putting on some serious mileage like these TDF and Scud owners.

    That is fantastic! A true Ferrarista! I wish I could drive my cars that much, but I make time to drive them almost every day. I could keep driving them if I only had more time! I was just at dinner with some friends and they asked what is the best sound in the world? My reply was: #1- my kids laughing; #2- Ferrari V12 revving. I can never get enough of either.

    Good one! :)

    Good question. I guess with a Ferrari, as they say, "life is a highway!" The F12tdf seems an epic machine. My goodness!

    Good to see someone who treats his cars has enjoyment rather than investments.

    I've met him twice - both times on the Ferrari Tribute to the Mille Miglia. Add in 2,500 miles for those two runs alone.
