    Picked up the 16M yesterday and the dino also which had been having a bunch of mechanical fettling. The color turned out pretty well both for the interior and the exterior. I had Bianco Fuji which is pearlescent and a full red leather interior including the seat centers. Both of those took some pushing with Ferrari and delayed the car, but here it is! Also managed to persuade them to deliver the car with the ipod rather than the radio in dash that seems to have come with the majority of US cars. I'm syncing the Ipod with my itunes right now in fact. Anyway here are a few pictures. The color doesn't really translate well in these photos, the close up of the fender logo probably comes closest.

    A few other small observations from the delivery.

    The wheels are a much darker color than the grey on the Scud - this works well with the CF mirrors and other CF on my car.
    The noise this thing makes is really outrageous, I didn't really believe it when I read the autocar article, but having owned a scud, the 16M really is much more in touch with its inner thug! Driving under bridges and through the tunnels in Boston was hilarious.
    The soft damper mode/race combination if anything works better than it did on the Scud. Maybe my memory is playing tricks, but somehow changing from sport to Race/Soft was a much more noticeable change.
    Looking forward to seeing if the ipod/new speakers makes a sensible noise to accompany the mechanicals. There is a beautiful volume switch on the center dash in front of the slot where you put your cellphone - the last photo is a blurry picture of this, and I was wondering if the 16M with the regular radio did or didn't have this switch.

    Hey Dan, gorgeous 16M.

    The "regular" IPOD interface on the 16M does not have the controls on the center console. Its a very cool feature for sure. Makes it much more user friendly.

    Love the color,very nice! Did the all red interior in a Bentley GTC and loved it! Have fun and I am curious how the Ipod sound is. If they had a track up/down switch next to the volume you would be all set!

    This is my first post on this forum. I regularly read the threads but never comment since I don't have a Ferrari :(
    However, when I see the pictures of your 16M, I couldn't hold myself down not to write. This 16M has the best color combination I have ever seen. If I were to buy one, this car is what I would get :) So please accept my appreciation to your car.

    Enjoy it in good health. And if possible, please post more pictures.
    CONGRATTSS on the Car again :)
