    Hi guys, had a bit of help on here with spec so thanks for that and here is my new beastie. I guess they are still coming off the line but this must be one of the last few dozen I suppose. Went for a classic/elegant spec but sporty inside with lots of carbon. Sills, splitter and light buckets are also carbon.

    Absolutely love it so far, phenomenal machine and my first Ferrari. It was either this or a Speciale or 675LT and the F12 won the contest. The drivetrain is an utter masterpiece, the handling so benign and I adore the generously spaced GT style cabin.

    I drove straight to Munich and back the same week I got it so it's done 1800 miles already. Off to Croatia/Austria/Budapest next week for 10 days of proper driving with 8 other F-cars/Pork. Come mid June it will have done 5000 miles .... I obviously got it to use properly and enjoy as much as possible.

    Shame you can't post good quality pics inline ... some far better ones here: My F12

    Don't think I have seen an Argento F12 before, looks lovely. Really suits the colour.

    Looks beautiful, congratulations. Having just received my F12 this week, I totally agree with your comments, the drivetrain is immense, don't know if I can ever enjoy driving anything that isn't a V12 anymore. The silky smooth power delivery is something that has to be experienced to believe. Enjoy in good health.

    Love it! Congrats!

    The alcantara pack works so well. Adds a sporty but still classy contrast.

    I thought I was doing well with 1200 miles in 2 months! Enjoy!

    Lovely car - I had an Argento 355 and still one of my favorite colors

    If in Austria I can recommend the Nockalmstrasse. Depending on where you drive through Austria - if along the A10, you can pretty much do the entire distance Salzburg to Coritnthia on country an der mountain roads, which is quite nice

    Went down to Croatia in the FF last summer - very pretty down there - be careful on the highways, they have cameras before/after (can't remember) the tunnels quite regularly from what I remember
    Did not see cameras on the coastal roads, but did (unfortunately) not drive on those that much

    Congratulations very beautiful, discrete and classical and everything a Ferrari should be.
    You using the car the car the proper way a GT like the F12 should be used and I'm very jealous, in the good sense, because I've only done so far only one long trip with mine which I've enjoyed so much, and since that I haven't had the time to repeat the experience

    Enjoy as much as you can…...

    Thanks, we have done the Nok several times, Austria is my favourite. Over the years we have driven many of the feature routes around Europe and many of the roads that never get mentioned as well. In that area Turracher Hoe and the roads around Kleinzell are firm favourites. Cheers for the tip on Croatia.
