    I just flew to Maranello to pick up my brand new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Drove back through Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Belgium and France again into England. The experience of a lifetime, as this is my first Ferrari! Here are a few pics...

    Note: The first picture is the view of the Mediterranean sea you can see from the Mirabeau corner in the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, which supposedly gave its name to the Blu Mirabeau color of my car, so you can judge if Ferrari got it right.

    Hate to bring everbody down, but you've got a huge problem. Looks like those crazy Italians put your steering wheel on the wrong side. I hope you didn't pay full boat for that thing. I'm assuming you were so excited when you picked up the car you didn't notice. sorry to break the news.... I have no idea if that's something the dealer can fix.

    Wow, your eye is sharp... Yes, sorry, I collected a lot of bugs as I drove through Germany, and didn't have time to have them cleaned before taking the pictures.

    I think that car is meant to be driven down under. It is logical that cars in Australia must have the steering wheel on the other side, just consider the geometry of our planet. And they only use Ferraris there because some huge downforce is needed to prevent the car from falling off the Earth :cool:
