    I know, I just like giving him a hard time from time to time. However, Sam is a rock. Nothing or near nothing fazes him. I tease him a bit because he made the mistake of getting rid of NOT ONE, BUT TWO GOREGEOUS GT3s, one RS and the other one a Touring. So now, he is in the search of a holy grail.

    Ladies (if there are any on this thread, I don't want to be accused of being exclusive) and Gentlemen... We are blessed to have the (self proclaimed) twin of Hugh Jackman or Chris Hemsworth? Australia's best looking dude! LOL

    It nearly sounds like a hybrid or electric vehicle with a fake acoustic interior speaker sound. But, I am sure that it is just a matter of an exhaust and all demons will appear.

    In Australia I never had a problem either. The US sucks balls when trying to buy an RS. These bastards add $50k to the price!


    May the Horse be with you

    Yes. The dealers. Not the cars.

    There is a whole story around selling the Touring. Some day. But selling the two cars allowed me to get my 720. The rest as they say is history.

    That's probably because they know the car is so cheap to begin with due to the pricing over there so they are loading it up. I'd be so happy to pay their price even with the 50 on top as its heaps cheaper than what we get stuck for over here. No point crying about it. Just suck it up and be happy!....and count your blessings.

    Wrong question. Pista or STO? Or 765 or STO?

    On this forum I’ll always say Ferrari. I’m getting all the above though. While I love the Pista, the 765 I am driving a lot! It does a really good job. Street and track. If I could only have one? I’d keep my Pilota.

    Until I drive the STO, I can’t comment; however, I did have the Super Trofeo Evo and do have the GT3 and do have two street Huracans: a super-charged 840hp rear wheel drive coupe and the new Evo spider. The track success of the GT3 is documented. The street cars are fun and loud. They aren’t Ferraris, but not everything can be.

    We wait and see I guess. Styling is subjective, performance isn't so should be a fun few months :)

    And thats exactly why we like Lambs's - the STO has just amped it up even more.

    You might be right. I mean, what else would account for why they don’t want to take my money?

    Car enthusiasts are extremely fortunate that stellar super car choices are available from which to choose, that are not only Ferraris.

    Received the updated order guide with AdP interior options. The pricing isn't bad and it's nice Lambo has streamlined the process instead of going back and fourth with the factory for weeks.

    Black exterior (wrapping it in Xpel stealth), red interior trim, new sport seats, matte black wheels and still deciding on exterior carbon.

    Shmee is getting an STO and just uploaded a 17 min video on it.

    Even if you don’t like the guy, probably the most through video on the car yet.

    Thanks for posting. That’s the first proper wide angle shot I’ve seen of the car and it looks really good. The launch spec is growing on me also.

    Something I forgot to do when I sat in the reveal was to look in the rear view mirror, LOL! Not much to see, but does it really matter?

    And just found out I can get an allocation for 2022 (probably late). Someone dare me, lol!
