    +1 The best color combo ever. Black interior with red stitching gets me every time.

    Ok, but beware. I have read more than once on F chat cases of people who did not receive the tire brand they requested.

    Thank you.

    Not bad. But i doubt I'll be allowed to put on a red plate on my car to achieve the same effect.

    And if you think my account opened well, you should check out the thread in the F12 section. "My first F car will be a F12......" :)

    Agree, when I picked this name I actually envisioned an owner who loved his car so much that he dreamt about it. But the name was perceived by a few as one who could only dream about the car with no real prospects of owning it.

    Any way here's a pic of my "terrible two" year old monster trying to get in the car at the delivery bay. She is a bit underage, but kids are just so precocious these days!

    Congrats.....the boys at Al Tayer surely take good care of thier clients....
    I picked up my first F car ('14 Cali) a couple of weeks ago from them, I was going to go for the 458 but my kids ( all 3 boys) were hell bent of riding with dad all together. So the Cali it was.
    2 weeks down and 1400km on the clock already...loving every minute of it.
    Enjoy in good health...make sure you have your name on the F club of UAE, they are pretty active here, from what I've been told.

    Congrats to you too!

    Cali is the right choice with 3 little boys wanting to ride. Incidentally the day of my delivery there was also a Cali parked behind mine, ready for delivery the next day.

    I am also enjoying driving it a lot will have almost similar kms to yours on the clock at 2 weeks.

    If it were a Rosso Corsa, it probably was mine. Took delivery August 7th.

    Thanks again for your comments. The theme amongst them is that I have picked a very typical/classic (possibly boring for some) and "can't go wrong" red/blk combo. That is exactly what I was aiming for.

    Meanwhile, I have been enjoying driving it, 1450 kms in two weeks, just by daily driving, no long trips. Have gotten over most inhibitions of owning a brand new F car, except I still worry about where to park it. No issues with driving it every where, the looks and attention it gets, and the number of people who try to race you.

    And finally, I never forget, that ferrari does not sell cars, they just sell a dream.

    How do you like the Super Sport tires? I have it too & it's pretty good so far. Nice grip, great treadwear life. (300) Better then the PS2's.

    Yoko's on the NSX were a notorious prob back in the early 90s.
