    Thanks everyone for your kind comments-the constant support is much appreciated.

    What a day! Given pride of place at the entrance with a Speciale and La Ferrari in the static display, second row behind two La Ferraris for the 650 car Parade, lunch with the CEO Ferrari Northern Europe, unbelievable and somewhat humbling reaction to the car, played on the F1 simulator, watched the F1, FXX's and Pirelli Challenge and F12 home again. Simply put does it get any better? I think not.

    I never expected the reaction the car received and amazingly it seemed to draw more crowds than the neighbouring LF

    I will post some better pics once I download from my camera but a couple from my iPhone for now. One detail I noticed was that Mototechniques paint was second to none with a perfect finish and yet the weave still just grinning through. And it actually worked.

    Stoked.

    This is epic. Congratulations on such a successful journey. Is that you in these last pics, Tim? Would be really nice to see a pic of the car and its proud owner.

    Unbelievable journey she's taken, thanks so much for sharing it with us!
    Bella!

    Are the links on the front splitter designed to be adjustable, or are they there only to add support to the front edge?

    You are missing only the fussy fencing to keep out the riff raff.

    BTW it is no joke. I once had my best of class 512BB's body damaged at a show with no crowd control. It ruined my day.
