    I just returned from my visit to Maranello and the Ferrari Atelier. It was a wonderful experience, and my host Anna was extremely gracious. We went through the design process in a professional and unhurried manor. When I was curious about a color, a panel was brought up and when I wanted to see the color on a car, the solution was to walk next door to the V8 assembly line and take a look directly. After my spec was completed we took a tour of the classic car restoration section, where I saw some rare gems that were breath taking. Overall it was an amazing experience and if given the opportunity I would do it again for each of my future allocations. I hope all of you guys get the opportunity to experience the same!

    Love the gold wheels but I really don't get why they keep bringing up the Daytona seats, could have been nice for some past models but now look dated IMO. Strangely enough, I love diamond patterns in most modern interiors.

    Anna helped us spec our car, including some really good suggestions for how we wanted to personalise it. Collected the car in May and absolutely love our Speciale. Brilliant experience all round.

    Back at Ferrari in a week for another Atelier with Anna!

    Fortunate to do two in one year.

    Oh yes and this will be part of a story in a magazine.

    I like the Daytona pattern... originally I wanted the Daytona racing seats but changed them out for the regular seats. I also really enjoy the diamond pattern... maybe for the spider!

    Black and Gold - reminds me of the John Player Special livery on F1 cars before the tobacco advertising ban!
