    Hi all,

    I wanted to share the news and joy of finally finding "the right" Maranello for me! Some of you are aware that I've been searching for about 4 years and many have been kind enough to chime in with thoughts, insight and knowledge. Her name is Aurora and I can truly say that she was worth the wait as this is the cleanest and best sorted driver Maranello (with 27K miles) that I've come across during this time. I passed on many examples with half the miles that just didn't look cared for. I took delivery of the car with I think everything it came with from the factory and she is in fantastic condition.

    If one should in fact buy the owner(s), and not the car, I don't think I could have asked for better ownership and maintenance history. I opted to use who I believe to be a very picky tech for the PPI and the only surprise, if you can call it that, was the car soon needing wiper blades! The previous owner of about 12 years knew the car inside-out and couldn't have been more straightforward, accommodating and patient with me.

    Shout out to Plycar for a seamless and perfect process and to Mike Berman for countless conversations (and for recommending Plycar)

    Sorry for the teaser pics but delivery was an event! I will post more pics once things are settled and I have time to start my album.

    I hope to be a long term owner and with the help of members here, get to know and enjoy the car to the max.

    I forgot to ask if anyone happens to have audio/video of a stock 575 with Tubi mufflers?

    Also, please let me know if anyone is selling a recommended exhaust. I'm looking for a nice startup rumble that a Ferrari V12 deserves...nothing obnoxious.
