    Hello all and greetings from Oklahoma. My name is Nathan and I am the new owner of a black 512TR. The car is pure joy. I don't think I have driven a manuel transmission since I sold my '98 M3 back in 1999.

    Nice - We all know were that Mecum Black Euro ended up now :) (your side markers and the seller are a give away)

    Nathan, Welcome - enjoy the car and please drive it like an enthusiast and not just have it sitting around for the in-garage fantasy drive like most "so-called" Ferrari owners who muster only 2k mi after 5 years of ownership and have worn seats for no reason.

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Sherrillt, I will try and drive the car often. I have already put 80 miles on it and I have washed it once. Oengus I kept telling myself the same thing and finally i decided that perhaps sub 200k is going to sound cheap one day. So I pulled the trigger. Whether the market holds up only time will tell. In the meantime I have a 512TR in my garage....finally!!!

    WOW!! What a great car and a great home! I know you will love driving her often. I drove mine today for over a hundred miles. The 512TR is always the start of a party.

    Msdesignltd this is not the 1900 mile car. Same auction but that car was red and not a 512. This car is 20k miles black. Redflyer thank you for the kind words. Glad to hear you had yours out today.

    Gorgeous car, congrats!
    Still kicking myself for quitting the bidding on '94 Black/Black with 14k miles at last Amelia RM.
    That car sold for $130k.

    Very nice, congrats. Glad to see another flat 12 in Oklahoma! At least you have some winding roads up in Tulsa, everything in OKC is perpendicular-boring.
