As they say over on L/P, "this thread is worthless without pictures!"

:)

j/k, but it'd be nice to see some pics...

I like the 599 from a point of view of the pinnacle of Ferrari front engine
V12 Engineering and interior design. The styling isn't stellar, but superior
to the 612, and interesting....

Those dark colors do bring the best out of the 612 and as I can see with
your post the 599. Kudos in it being a 6 speed....can't belive it's the
FIRST one after all this time....how sad the market is these days.

Steve, is it weird that the 599 will give your F40 a run for the money on
the road and track?
