    Well......I know for a fact, you can't have enough toys! Just doing some reseach. My heart is still with the Germans at the moment! From what I know of other things in life....sometimes "hand-built" isn't as good as it sounds. Besides, as you know, I'm into high-tech anyway. :D :D

    Interesting, a user added sig.:)

    Anyway, yes. Traditional, older cars I like red. New models seem to work better with G alloy.

    Some colors seem to complement certain body shapes. I guess you can't go wrong with red/yellow/black (irregardless of model), but that white Enzo is just a color calamity. It doesn't work at all, in my opinion anyway.

    Is there a "correct" color? No, but there's certainly some pretty bad ones.

    "The" red is called Rosso Corsa. Ferrari also has Rosso Scuderia and Rosso Barchetta

    Does anyone have a list or site that has the Ferrari names for their interior colors?

    Thanks

    Sure. This is a good link. http://www.barchetta.cc/all.ferraris/2001.colors/index.html

    Some stuff has changed since then. Various colors have been added and some existing ones have been changed (azzurro california, for instance, will be replaced by a darker shade.)

    mine is Pelle Testa Di Moro, i think it means " THE FACE OF THE BULL" in english , to me it means black / brown 2 tone. ferrari code is VM 890. rootbeer brown suits the paint better than "marrone" . but what do i know, i have been drooling all over it since it was delivered wednesday!:)
