    my friend in Munich has a F12 we take it out and go 330kph sustained with out a care in the world(except passing people who are going 120kph).

    Its the first Ferrari I have ever been impressed with as far as power goes, My Enzo got weak at 175mph-very disappointing. Great car otherwise.

    Thanks :))

    Great to be back, was a long road. My back got so bad i sold my Enzo because i couldn't walk to the garage to see it let alone drive it. I got depressed and sold it-stupid.

    I'm pretty good now considering 5 operations and 4-5 years of recovery after. A couple years ago I bought a Aventador-drove it 200 miles in ~2 years, i never saw more plastic in my life. the seat belts in my Jetta are nicer(they are better quality nylon). Pretty bad IMO.


    My friend in Munich has always had a Ferrari or 2, He got a F12 about 16 months ago, i was there when it was delivered to a restaurant one night. He asked if I wanted to drive it home, I drove the X5. I drove the F12 a couple days later. Wow!!


    We were driving between Augsburg and Munich-straight shot, no traffic at night. I'm sold. Done with plastic cars. I'm keeping my Lambos(not plastic) and at some point adding a F12 to the line up.


    hope everyone is well.


    best

    Great to hear you're doing better. Wish you luck with your F12! Still have the Diablo GTR's?

    Yes I have both GTR's and the SE 30, I kept them and sold the Enzo(not my best move). I kept 1 of the 2 Countach's(another bad move). overall i'm god but made a couple mistakes along the way. Still have the Aventador so 5 Lambos all together. I just dont like the plastic construction now, and the new $$ people walk blindly into that junk and love it, sure they are super fast, comfortable-everything a Lambo shouldn't be. Not my bag. :-(( twice...


    A F12 is a good plan, ive been driving my 97 S600 Benz the 2 door big coupe the past 2 years. I dont drive much maybe 1000 miles a year in Beverly Hills(i live here full time, left Vegas). I have a Rolls Drophead that i drive 300 miles/year. i'm tired of the Benz, Rols is not a plan for a daily car, Jetta was lemoned so a F12 makes sense ;-) I might drive more.

    actually i've been spending lots of time in Europe and that's a great spot for a F12. I'm not sure if i'm buying one there or America. That's the real question.

    i go to Munchen 2-3X a year, i had all my back operations there, along the way i made many friends there since 06. i'm very happy to meet up with anyone next trip. I stay at my friends flat at Munich Pasing or Hauptbahnhof in Sofitel-which is a disaster now, thats another topic ugh!!!

    i will be there in March, i am going to Asia for 2-3 months starting in Oct, I'm not going to Hong Kong/Tokyo/Manila with a car.

    I mention this because i'm not sure of my F12 plan, i can wait for a new one, found one i like now that a great price(late 14 with 1000 miles on it in America) or could grab one in Europe for a hair less. I'm going to drive the car a lot and am not looking for a garage queen or concourse car. I dont like used cars but can stand a 1K mile car. any thoughts i'm keen to hear, thanks in advance.

    What about the Bayrischer Hof or Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski?

    If you are looking for a F12 in Munich I would recommend the Ferrari dealer Saggio München: Saggio München - Autohaus Saggio München | Würzburg

    Thanks I will check with them, i'm 50/50 on where to buy a car. I'm going to Asia so if i buy one today it gets parked for 2-3 months in 3 weeks. i want one for spring/summer in Europe next year, i need to sort it out.

    From what i seen Europe seem a little cheaper than America for F12's. I dont care about a american car-makes zero difference to me. i'd like to own a car in Europe.

    Hotel talk:


    I just spent almost 2 weeks at Kempinski in Budapest the are great properties. The one in Munchen is not my favorite location. Maximilianstraße is great but its a walk to anything late at night, sometimes i stay up late for biz and like to walk over to a train station(instead of room service all the time).

    Bayrischer Hof is great I stay there sometimes. I usually dont keep a car in Munchen so i like to be in walking distance of a few things. When i do keep a car then don't matter where i stay. the hotels i stay at have car rental with in walking distance. easy to pick up and leave.


    Best

    Eric
