Great to see Tokyo with such nice car at this time...it makes the city feel even more special. Thank you Takashi-san! Merry Christmas _M A T T H E W_
I'm with Allan on this one, the lines of the 456 are classic and pure and authentic while remaining demure and restrained, certainly not frivolous or unserious. =P Merry Christmas! Image Unavailable, Please Login

...and Merry Christmas to you, too! Although I think that "demure and restrained, certainly not frivolous" hardly applies to your M's seasonal livery! Really nice. Do the antlers hum at speed?
Bummer. If that's you on the armco barrier, it looks like you are smiling; is that because you didn't get a ticket?
Is it just a fix it ticket in Toronto ? In Los Angeles you put in on get LEO to sign off and pay $25 and your done. cheers, bill
I have never driven a 550 coupe, but my Barchetta has the Fiorano Handling Package and it has pretty tight steering and firm suspension. My 575 with the FHP rides smoother than my Barchetta. The suspension is not as firm, even in the sport mode.
That's curious, Don Dom, as i understand that the Fiorano handling package is identical on both the barchetta and the berlinetta. I find a significant difference in the handling and of the steering of my 575 when in sport mode. Don't understand why the 575 should be softer even in sport mode.
Domenic- Part of that is due to the rubber in the shock mounts on the 575Ms. As you know, springs, rear anti-roll bar and hydraulic steering ECU are the same parts. Another difference could just be the difference between the Bilstein and Mannesmann-Sachs shocks.
