    Based on my pics, i think Ferrari is way behind in sending them. 123 and my car was on the water on status 90 - based on some remarks from posters, I think my car is actually landing on the 16th but cannot get a confirmation. Your car looks great Larry !

    Larry, i am quite sure your car is done. I got pic #2 and #3 on the same day. On that note...congrats! Mine arrives on the ship this Thursday. Cant wait to see it in the flesh. Its been a long month waiting. If i were you, i would just stick to the regular shipping as well. Its not about the money as much as its not worth it. You won't save more than two weeks. They gave me the option, and were kind enough to explain that by the time they sort out the logistics, flight reservation/confirmation, etc... you will save a maximum of two weeks from the usual month long shipment. In the end, its a cost vs. benefit decision.

    Good Luck!!

    congrats, car looks amazing. you will love it. i have done 8,000 miles in my F12 in the first 4 months and it is in the shop right now getting the winter tires fitted. not sure if it's too late but i have the lifter and wouldn't be able to use the car as a daily driver without it. also very minor asthetic point, my car came with yellow shields and yellow calipers and yellow wheel centers and that's a lot of yellow plus the calipers and the shields clash because they are different yellows. so i would recommend a different caliper color and also while the car is being painted at the factory buy a second set of aerbridges with no shields they are relatively inexpensive (about 1 carbon cup holder!) and then you can switch to no shields if you get bored of them. I also like the carbon wheel caps.
    post more pics when you get them.

    Hey Buddy

    I live in Beirut, Lebanon. The ship left Italy about ten days ago. Should be here day after tomorrow. It usually takes about 12 days max of actual sailing (including the stops on the way) to reach the port of Beirut. The vessel's name is "Sonoma". Hope this helps...

    Cheers

    I feel certain the car is done also and I suspect the car will come via ship as the salesman never got back to me re flying despite discussing it twice.. albeit late in the game an while discussing another car (sale of my cali).. These pictures are very cool and make me feel a part of the program I think it is a great idea for a car like Ferrari...
    Re the spare bridge interesting idea ... I suspect it is far to late but maybe through parts..
    Also regarding the center caps in that I am getting the dark 20 inch forged I may get the dealer to install the CF center caps as I think they would look good.

    Looks Great Larry!!!

    Now the worst part...knowing its done and waiting for it to reach you! My car should finish port clearance today. Then goes on a flatbed straight to the dealer for PDI.

    Expecting to take delivery at the showroom either thursday or Friday this week!!! These last couple days are agony!

    Larry you will be amazed at this car. I traded my 458 for the F12. The acceleration and handling are outstanding. I have had mine for several months (2015) and just put the horses away for the winter (sad day, but I get to start the experience all over again in the spring)

    Enjoy every moment.

    I thought the PDI was only done by FNA in New Jersey and then to the dealer ?

    Thanks for the nice comments ,... I was able to speak to the dealer today and the car is at status 70 .. I have been told we should see the car in 20 days (air shipping)...SO if that works that would be around the 10th or so of November...
    I got to say I have ordered other Ferraris in the past but I think the pictures although very nice really pump up the excitement...
    We will see..
    I do believe this will be one fine car..

    Larry- Quite different from an HGTC 575M, no?

    She looks beautiful. Would love that drivetrain in my 575M, but doubt it would fit.

    I live in Beirut, Lebanon. Moved here from SoCal in 2004. Grew up there...miss it :(

    Thanks Larry. Car didn't clear customs yesterday. Fingers crossed for today. There are 13 F12's in Lebanon. 10 red, 2 black, and 1 grigio. They are so excited to receive mine (Giallo). Dealer wants to throw me a delivery event at the showroom and invite a bunch of friends and clients. Should be fine :)
