    Hi, folks,

    This is Ethan. I won my first BaT bidding and just bought the new-to-me 2008 599 GTB (grigio ferro) recently. While the car is still in-transit, I would like to post here and just say hi. Looking forward to learning from your ownership experience!

    Thanks! I have been stalking this subforum way before I bid for this car. I found a lot of good resource here (about common issues, maintenance, MT swap, etc)

    Very similar. I guess I’ll find out exactly how it looks in person in a few weeks
