    Thought it was about time to make a thread for the cars you see in the everyday life. Not very often do you see our cars except at car shows, meetings etc. Please keep the pictures coming! It is fun to see where they are and how they look like.

    Today, I all of a sudden found a very special 550 Maranello with carbon, roll over cage, quilted headliner and shelf, racing seats with harnesses, luggage in dark blue!! The paint was probably Grigio Alloy met. which I have never seen yet in person on a Maranello. It made my day!! Located at Cap d’Ail 250 meters from Monaco! That car is a lot more «hot» here than all the new modern Ferraris! I wish i could see more of them.

    Merry Christmas to everyone from Erik!!!

    Also not afraid that careless drivers will open their doors into his Maranello's bodywork, eh John?

    Is this real world enough? I had a 104.5 fever that wouldn't go down maybe a year ago, so my wife rushed me to the er, it was either the Ferrari or the slr we had just sold our "normal car" bc it was not being used, and the Ferrari was the more comfortable one so we took that and the car sat in the parking lot of the er, not it’s natural habitat lol we got a normal daily driver shortly after that.

    Living in south beach I walk to work so I don't need a daily driver really so mine used to end up at grocery stores and emergency room parking lots bc it was more user friendly than my weekend car.

    With the demolition derby car parked in the next slot, you are a brave man indeed.

    Fortunately for him, at least one of his car's neighbours was owned by someone with respect for other people's property (the M-B estate is mine!).

    I lokke the fact that you sold you «normal» car because it wasn’t used because you use your SLR and 575 instead!! That’s the Miami life style.

    I am in Nice in France at the moment. Here, the parking is terribly tight and everyone is supposed to have a Peugeot 205 obviously... not one single normal car without serious scratches. But many Bentleys etc. which look pristine. I wonder how they do it? If they get all the damage and fix it instantly or if they don’t get scratches at all... It makes me happy that my 550 stays back home in Oslo at the moment. An accident free car is good and the first ding or scratch is really a pain!

    John,
    My first thought was how in the world did you get out of the car.
    Then I remembered your steering wheel is on that other side...
    Still very brave.
