Dan, cool avitar!!! Very creative!
Yep the car is at FoNE. I'll be at the the FDE on 14/15 July before the challenge weekend. May well drive the scud up for that also...
Congrats on the Scud Dan! The black with gold stripes look amazing! I think you're probably the first official Scud owner with gold stripes!
Dan, great to see your photos, as mine arrives at dealer this week in same exterior spec. Like you, I spent a bit of time deciding on interior and went with black/black two layer and contrasting gold stitch in the end. Anyway, enjoy in good health!
My new car was parked right next to your CS at FoNE - it had the old spray painted bent rim from one of the times I bent a rim on my CS Here's hoping I don't have to replace 3 front gold rims on the new one - I'm sure that they won't just have those in stock at FNA...
Dan, I have one of the rims send out to be refinished. We should have our allocation for SC within next month or so, I hope. I am partial to argento with stripe over black alcantara/ yellow stitching or yellow with stripe over black alcantara/ yellow stitching. P.S. How's your Challenge circuit going? Gene
Good - certainly a lot of fun (and expense) - will you be in Montreal this year? We should hook up at some point.
Some more pictures, plus initial thoughts. Retains the feel of the CS - isn't too soft in my opinion, still has that sand pinging on the bottom feel of every tiny grain of anything from the road, still feels lithe and light. Is miles faster than the CS. The gearshift is simply remarkable once up in rpm with WOT. Much faster than the 599 and way faster than the challenge car. That coupled with the sound led to a series of slow down to 30 mph on the highway and "nail it again" moments after picking the car up. It of course had to downpour on me on the ride home for about 10 minutes, so I know the max speed on the wipers works and its fine at speed in the wet in the same way that the CS was. The auto mode actually works very well - its more "sporty" than the auto mode in the 599, if you're doing 35 or so in 4th and hit the brakes firmly it takes 2nd straight away. More thoughts as I add miles. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I love that interior! Thats a great ferrari, most of the time I like the typical red/black cars but now this one has me thinking when I do buy a ferrari what colors i will get
Monaco GP today, so that plus family sunday stuff means no chance for Starbucks today - rest assured it'll be there a sunday soon.
Hey- Congratulations Mark! I guess you were "sold" on it at FDE Seems like it is easier to get a car -any car- for you guys in the midwest than it is for us here in the land of summer fun cars. I emailed the dealer that sold me my spider about *any* 430 (preferably a Scud) and didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.
Fantastic Dan, love the John Player Special paint scheme The car looks sensational and I'm sure it drives the same way too...congrats and enjoy it in the best of health ! all the best
Dan congrats on your new car .... Safe and un-problematic miles buddy! Can i ask for some hi-resolution pics once you find some time????????? Kostas
