Seeing the Cali and the Italia together, i change my mind about the Cali...Prefer the Italia...!And the Stradale of course!

I will say the Gran Turismo didn't turn my head as much as I thought it would when we were there....Not sure why...perhaps it was because it was parked up with all the other exotic....Don't get me wrong I love it and yes Adam the red Stradale would do me.....

Thanks for the photo's Adam, well the later ones anyway. :D

I have to say the current stable of Prancing Horses is leaving me increasingly cold. The Cali' looks like a small dog continually looking for approval.. "like me. please like me. I'm lovely once you get to know me". I raved about the 458 when it first came out, but it's the first car that, in my eyes, has gotten worse with familiarity. The FF, well what were they thinking? Since when was a Fezza practical? SO WRONG! and the 599 / (pretend) GTO? - crass beyond belief.

I can genuinely say that with a lottery win I wouldn't buy any of them. A Scud, yes, An MC Stradale, yes, the 250 SWB, **** yes, but after that I'd be seeking out a different showroom.

With you on this one Miles..........(apart from the FF for some starnge reason I like).........The range just doesn't grab me.........I looked at the 458 at DL and tried to love it and from certain angles it looks stunning but others it just doesn't...The front looks like someone has taken a big can opener to it and tried to open her up.........Then I looked at the 355 by the side of the 458 and realised what a beautiful Ferrai looks like. I think this is why I like the Mclaren more..This car has grown on me with it understated looks (or though some would say boring looks) and its uncluttered interior............But then we are all different which is a good thing.

It certainly is Andy. Come the revolution I'm having a 458 and you can have as many FFs as you want!

Nice pics Adam, the focus on the Porsche ones is great - I need to get a decent camera and learn to do shots like that.

What camera do you have?

Re the cars, having seen Traxx driving through London in his 599 GTO, is have one for the sound alone! Sublime.

You will need a DSLR camera if you want to take arty farty shots, i use a Canon EOS 350D, not in production any more but still a very good camera for £220. As for outdoor shots, to block the sunlight and get a "crispness" to the picture, you need a polariser for the lens, this basically reduces the light intensity and allows the camera to produce a sharper and clearer photo, you can get a good Polariser on Amazon for £20.

Now you're talking, lovely pictures, lovely cars, makes you're mouth water. Shame about the poor german car with no wheels, probably best for it though in the long run?
