    Just got a 2008 blue ponzi with curio interior - no glass roof but every other option - bose - hgt2 - ball polished wheels etc - drove it yesterday for the first time - awesome - this is my 5th Ferrari and totally different then any of the others(which were all mid engine - 360, CS, 430, and Scud which I am keeping for the track. My wife and I love it - it is truly cruising in style - only 4600 miles on it and it is flawless. Tried to upload pics but my wife had the camera set with too many pixels so will reshoot some today and post - if you find a good one - grab it. I also have a 2009 Mas GTS with the 599 super fast F1 and the 612 is totally different. You realize that these heavily optioned 612 were basically selling for Rolls Royce prices so you should expect something great from them.

    I did not want the glass roof because i spent most of my life in the Florida Keys in the sun and personally darker is better

    Yes, CC rotors, back up camera, which is the coolest one I have ever seen, the Bose is the best stereo system in any car i have ever had which is really saying a lot - still work on pics

    Very nice! One of the last non-OTO cars. I really like the diamond stitching on the seats.

    My wife and I are retired (I call it fully retarded) and when she has had enough of me hanging around the house she tells me to go to the garage and talk to the cars - so I take my dog, a little bourbon and do just that - we live on a ridge line in the Smoky Mnts and the view from the 2nd floor of the garage is awesome - so you are right it is a happy place

    Love it :D The garage projects that atmosphere, and I fully expected exactly that view, really. I guess being a Virginian, I just by default imagined an Appalachian backdrop.

    Great photos, beautiful Man Cave :)

    The 612 in TDF on tan is the nicest combo.

    Congrats and enjoy.

    Why thank you! I too think the color of my 612 is also the nicest combo! The car above would be my second choice with blue ponzi with curio interior.
