New-to-me 812SF incoming

Sold my absolutely beautiful and perfect '15 Speciale late last year, wasn't driving it as much as I intended and if I don't use it I likely move on

Since then haven't had a Ferrari in the garage, that will change soon enough! Wish it could have been a tdf, but that will have to wait and this was what I wanted next. Wasn't going into the canyons much anymore (relocating to Las Vegas this week), 12C/296/SF90 doesn't interest me, and wanted something with a high build quality, solid feeling, good stereo and vicious nature.. looking like this 2018 high spec titanio example will be arriving in the coming weeks and can't wait

Thought shieldless would have been a dealbreaker for me, but actually really really like this stealthy spec especially with race seats

Not much to say other than I'm very very very happy with this car, which is a bit surprising to me as a "standard production" car vs my last 3 which were special series Speciale -> Tdf -> Speciale

Engine/exhaust sound, build quality/fit and finish, a vicious nature that requires very judicious throttle application if tires are cold or any gear below 4 as the rear will break loose instantly (had a few **** my pants moments already), comfy cruiser when needed, great stereo which matters to me

Quite different than my Speciales which were far more easy to push, more singular "track" in nature, nowhere near as good build quality/fit and finish, feel more analog and dated.. not necessarily bad attributes by any means

I was very picky on spec and this one with carbon door sills, carbon diffuser, carbon everything including race seats really feels special

I like what Rob (italiafan) used to say where you drive the mid engined V8 to feel like the star running back or wide receiver, but you drive the front engine V12 to feel like the owner
