I personally don't want to do track days anymore. They break the car, wear out the car and it gets boring to pay out all the money. Last one I did sandblasted the front of the car from all the grit thrown up by cars in front a 100 mph. I just want to do long distance trips around Europe and travel and the California is perfect for that. If it attracts girls who want a ride that's even better.....
Sorry if I offended the track guys but really I'm over the whole track thing personally. Just an expensive c**k waving exercise in the end....
Regards Britt in the UK Sent from my iPhone The California is a girl car It was Ferraris meager attempt at making a car for the softer side What ever that is Just like the 355 spyder was Pure and simple If you like wearing pink shirts and lime green shorts and mauve handkerchiefs You've arrived In your Ferrari no less You will never see a California at a track event Ever! Sorry if I offended anyone But it is what it is !
I wouldn't be surprised if the car doesn't have a baby seat option ! I mean really !
In victory you deserve Champagne In defeat you need it!
Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
If you follow all the rules You miss all the fun!
If you have no enemies, you have no character !

It's not surprising that the lead time is that quick, because the California is an old model - been in production since 2008 and probably is the bulk of production at the factory. Everybody is tripping over themselves to get into a 488 NOW. I wouldn't be surprised if the lead time on a regular F12 is also quick too.The options is where the factory makes their profit. It's atrocious what they charge for some of the items. Kudos to your friend for skipping all of the carbon trinkets. I drove a California when they first came out. I like the car as it's a great all-rounder. Performance on the STREET is mind-blowing, the comfort of a hard-top when you need it and still a proper convertible. Roomy, comfortable. The latest styling is the best out of the series.

Some good friends of mine here in the Midlands who are long term members of the FOC and the area group I run were looking for another Ferrari. They race a 308 and use to race a 355 in the club hill climb championship so they know their cars and know how to drive. Since they own everything from the Ferraris to a Triumph TR8, a Macan and a special you would never have heard of, they were thinking "Grand Tourer" and "California". Now if you haven't driven a California, it really is a great practical GT and really is fast as hell. Wanting something new they were looking for a 2-3 year old California at the Ferrari Dealership in Birmingham (Greypauls). Brian actually wanted a base car with just shields and adjustable suspension but all the used cars at Greypauls were loaded with tons of options £30,000 wasn't unusual. Brian found the asking prices for these cars much to high and the salesman at Greypaul asked if they had considered a new Ferrrai?Well who wouldn't like to own a factory new Ferrari just once in your life? Basically Brian ordered a new California and was quoted an 8 week delivery time. It arrived this week right on time. The car is a base California with only the two options plus constructing seat stitching. The cost of the new car was far less than the used models loaded with carbon fibre at the same dealer.Obviously this is a RHD UK market car but I was surprised the lead time was less than for the new 5 series I ordered from BMW (10 weeks)! The lead time for the 488 is still 2+ years here in the UK for what it's worth.....At our next FOC meeting we will toast Brian's new California. I suspect it will do around 10k per year despite all the other cars he owns. For travels to Le Mans and the Continent it's going to be a great option.....RegardsBR in the UKSent from my iPad_________________________________________________________________To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options, please visit:http://lists.ferrarilist.com/mailman/options/ferrari/dino308gt4%40hotmail.comSponsored by BooyahMedia.comand F1 Headlineshttp://www.F1Headlines.com/_________________________________________________________________To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options, please visit:http://lists.ferrarilist.com/mailman/options/ferrari/clyderomerof4%40gmail.comSponsored by BooyahMedia.comand F1 Headlineshttp://www.F1Headlines.com/
