    Just a silly little curiosity question regarding removal of horse emblem (sorry if it has a proper name and I'm not using it!, someone educate me?) and mounting the rego plate..

    Was it pretty straightforward and no permanent "hacks" needed? or?

    Thanks - I'll go do a search on it and find out more then!

    I'm literally about to head out on my own "Prancing Horse" (just 1.00 HP though and he only adds methane to the atmosphere when running lol)

    In short. NO. :)

    All jokes aside have a safe trip mate. Where are you going? That will determine what you can do. North or South.

    I love the Bay of Islands. If I ever make enough money, that's where I'd moor my boat. :) Make sure you take the day trip out to Cape Brett. You go through the hole in the rock. Neat experience.

    The car has travelled 1650 km and is going in tomorrow for an oil change.

    I thought these Ferraris were supposed to be temperamental - I can't find any warranty items to complain about. :eek:

    It's insanely good. I'm used to the weird turn signal buttons now and have just about mastered the screen menus. All the bits that matter - performance, handling, braking, steering, comfort, sound, general road feel etc - are just sublime.

    I'd better touch some wood. :)
