    Picked up my 458 Spider today after the annual service was completed. Plus baby got new shoes...Mich Pilot SS (again...love em).

    They had a customer's newly delivered rosso corsa (?) 458S with Blue/white stripes. the car looks better in person than in pics. the engine is gorgeous...a work of art indeed.

    they also had a yellow customer F12 on the lift. (yellow is not my favorite color and for me it just doesn't work on the F12...IMVHO).

    The first New Cali Ts will be arriving in Sept/Oct.

    BTW I really had fun driving the Spider home over Indy Pass...several waterfalls. Not a cloud in the sky and missed the Twin Tunnels construction...by a half hour. :)

    I have been driving the Spider so much (14K+ to date) that the only thing they found was a dirty air filter that needed to be replaced. Too soon to be covered by the free maintenance. Brake fluid, oil etc was done and covered.

    Best car I have ever owned.

    Do you know if the Speciale will be there for sometime?
    I want to see the F12 too, because it's giallo modena ;)

    I presume the F12 will be delivered to the customer ASAP. If I had an F12 I would want my car the sooner the better. I am sure FoD will do their best to accomodate.

    A friend had an Italia come in and FoD busted their a$$ to ger his car ready for the FCA Fall Foiliage Tour...I believe it was a day.

    Ronnie, the F12 was delivered yesterday but I'd assume you'll get your chance to see it at the FCA picnic.

    As for the Speciale, it's being serviced right now and should be delivered on Saturday.

    I heard he's a young very rich, Harvard graduate Russian, with an even richer father?
    can anybody confirm?
    that's what I was told.

    I don't think that rumors or innuendo belong here.

    I think this is a proper spot to voice opinions and rumors about new owners of dealerships. I heard he is dragging down the staff at either FOD or Alger Philadelphia and several employees have quit already !!! I hope this is not a new trend.

    Yes, Viktor Vekselberg is the guys father. Aleks is the son's name( http://thishousewillexist.org/aleksandervekselberg.php ) his father and Putin were buddies but are on the outs from what I have been told (semi reliable 3rd party). If anyone here has ever done business in Russia it is different than you are accustomed to here in the states.... I myself have spent time in Moscow and .. Anyway I am just happy Mark and Derek are still there working away since they are who we deal with on a daily basis.
