Not a fan of Ferrari either. I prefer the fighting bull.

The only one I would have is the 458.

I love both the old 246 Dino and the 250 GT. Awesome styling.

I grew up the testerossa and the F40 - esp the latter which for me was the de facto ferrari.

But that F12 is my mdoern fave now!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

On the subject of black Ferrari's, a friend used to have a black Boxer but it was a bit uninspiring and he didn't keep it for long.

Another in the same group of very wealthy folks I sometimes used to hang out with in Chelsea back in the day is a Ferrari nut and had to go to Italy and meet the big man himself before he was allowed to buy his F40. I've been in a lot of Ferrari's due to my friendship with him but have now lost touch. I last saw him in 1999 at my son's funeral - I ought to track him down. I bet he is still running Ferrari's. He had a Daytona as well (and a Mercedes Brabus for town use).

Ferrari's tend to look best in either red or silver, imo of course.

Completely agree with silver - it's much more subtle but IMO looks awesome on some Ferraris.

Not a fan of the fighting Bull,  although I have have several weak-kneed moments whilst looking at the Miura  :drool: :drool: :drool:
