    Wednesday and yesterday Ferrari UK had their Lusso T test drive days at Millbrook Proving Ground, a UK motor industry test facility which includes a banked Oval, standing Mile and Alpine circuit. There were about 10 Lusso gathered together (probably all the UK demonstrators) mostly silver/GT or GS, the exceptions being the Rosso Fiorano car I had on my test weekend back in January, a super high spec CDF (over dark grey alcantara) car and one in what I think was Blue Scozia with red calipers that looked superb.

    Clearly a host of images that would sit well on this thread were there to be taken...

    Such a shame Millbrook insist on "no cameras", in case people snap prototypes which were testing under disguise at the facility.

    At one stage , a chap with long lens did lean out of a bush beside the high speed oval and point it at my car, if he turns out to be a Millbrook/Ferrari sanctioned photographer and I get sent the image I'll be sure to post it.

    It had rained all morning (spring/UK) but the various courses had pretty much dried out by lunchtime.

    Respect to Mrs 635CSI for launch controlling her way to 167 MPH at the 3/4 mile point before slamming her dainty foot on the carbono cerimicos for the 40 MPH limit banked bend that, seemingly, starts about 10 ft after the 1 Mile marker.

    Thanks to Ferrari of course, I am having no regrets over committing the most expensive thing we have ever bought without a bathroom. Hurry up June !

    I believe that's Ferrari's GTC4 V-12 press car which they lent to the Duke for the members meeting, not his personal car, but anyways, was good to see.

    I know he had an FF which he adored so assume he will be in a Lusso sooner rather than later.

    That was my first color choice when I configured my Lusso. Very nice but then I thought it would be a little bit too obnoxious for France, where expensive car owner bashing is a popular sport. Ended up with GS which is beautiful, however that red is stunning!

    Sad. I guess that means keying the car, slashing tires, smashing windows, and yelling at the driver. Anything else they do?...Hopefully no physical attack on the driver.

    I have never had physical attack, but I have gotten the occasional middle finger. I never park my cars in the street, always in covered parking lot, so it mitigates the risk a little. The main risk is more to get your car keyed or spat at. That's why I always have a dashcam with parking mode installed. The worst I had was a couple of years ago, when a guy through a AA battery at my side window at a red light, then took off... No damage to the car fortunately.

    Yes..... Tailor Made.....

    I only have photos from her arrival at the dealership in January, and she's now dirty after a tough winter here in the UK!

    I'll take some photos in due course!

    What was the inspiration for the color scheme of the car?

    I remember your gorgeous Sessanata from a while back. Another masterpiece.
