I saw the black one at Kroymans yesterday. They also had the lighter one, but I think your pics of the lighter one are at Munsterhuis? I really liked the black one. In real life I did not like the light colored one so much. The black was really, really nice.
I absolutely love that color. A neighbor has the Portofino in that color with tan interior. However, she has yellow calipers which I think go much better than the gold.
Just test drove a Roma and a Portofino back-to-back this morning. Both were VERY easy get in and out of, almost like a sedan and not low to the ground at all. My 458 and 12C were both much lower to the ground, and the F8 Spyder I sat in (but didn’t drive) gave me that on-the-floor positioning as well. My wife had the same impression and that the Roma would be “very suitable for a daily driver”
I also test drove the Roma and the Portofino this morning, and also drove my F12 there for comparison. The Roma is a much different proposition: more comfortable, turbocharged so completely different animal, tight interior, better daily driver. I’m not sold on the Roma’s new capacitive touch steering wheel controls, nor the central screen. I told my wife I didn’t need an iPad in the front dash, and she replied that “it only wishes it were an iPad - it’s more like a Kindle.” Yes these are modern touches, and I see and appreciate keeping up with tech (the F12 navigation system seems ancient). It drives great though, withOUT the rubber-band turbo lag of modern McLaren cars (owned 12C, drove 720S and 575LT) and Roma would be a definitely better daily driver than the F12 (which I daily drive in summer). Overall an excellent and desirable car. No I would NOT trade my F12 for it. Only would consider as an alternative in the garage. My wife found it more comparable to the Portofino, with “much sexier looks”
Finally saw one this morning. I'm impressed so far, it's a lot smaller than I expected. Ferrari should offer a racing series with these cars.

Correct, the silver Roma is at Munsterhuis and the back one near Kroymans. They also have a silver one. I saw that one too.
It’s beautiful in person, much better than in photographs, but actually longer (183 inches) than an F12 (181.8 inches) Image Unavailable, Please Login

Hey i haven't heard anyone talk about what you can do with the Phone App for Ferrari? Is there no remote startup or temperature control or find my car etc?
I had an extended test drive of the Roma over the weekend - city / freeway / backroads, day & night. Positives - Driving dynamics are excellent. Quiet, can cruise at 75 while having a normal conversation. Handles the backroads with aplomb, brakes & engine are excellent, you can go well into triple digits with little effort. This particular car had the Magneride suspension which was amazing, driving on some of Houston's "finest" roads the car rode really well. Exhaust note is great particularly when in Sport mode. Negatives - As others have mentioned the thumb controls are very sensitive to unintended pressure which can result in settings being changed without knowing it until it happens. The rearview mirrors are adjusted by a touch "pad" using your left hand, it is sensitive which can make adjusting the mirrors a bit challenging. The central touch pad gets washed out by direct sunlight. Hopefully all these items can be addressed by future software updates. Miscellaneous - There are a lot of menus & sub menus, it will take time to figure them all out. All said and done it's a great car, hopefully the electronic / human interface(s) will continue to improve.

Did you get notice of a bump in the cost of air shipping?? My status is now 60! Getting very close. SV
Nope, but meaning to ping J to check on timing. Was hoping for next week but I may be too aggressive. Awesome on status...it will fly through now. Maybe we can get a volume discount and send them together
