Default Decidedly UN-RATTY car

This beautiful 612 was parked openly on a street in Paris, not far from a 599 in the same color. Barbara nearly swooned, and decided that her 612 (dream!) would be better in this color than in red.

"Retail red" seldom looks right on the larger Ferrari, gunmetal or titanium brings out all the curves and metallic blue looks really classy.

I agree Pete. Stunning car. For those that know Paris and those with a love of beautiful cars, that kind of photograph upsets me! In a nice way. It upsets me because I would never have the balls to drive anything exotic in Paris!

Though I forget the district, it was south and east of the Grand Palais on an east-west street as we were walking towards the Russian Orthodox church.

Default AW: Decidedly UN-RATTY car

I like the 599. The 612 is not my thing. I like the "sharp" design better...
By the way, you mixed up the numbers. The first two pictures are of the 599, but you know that.

Never stop dreamin'!
Maybe someday, that's what I say...(But I'd buy a Porsche 356 first;-P .....ok it's a lot more expensive)

Regards,
David

David -

Thank you both for the comment and the correction. They are both wonderful examples of kinetic sculpture.

I saw pictures of a 430Scuderia the other day. It doesnt have floor carpets and no radio. Car enough to make you cry....I would be dead or broken or in gaol license suspended I reckon within an hour of hopping in to one of those things. I wouldnt even notice the colour...Id drive it pink.

One can hire a 430 by the day, weekend and week over here. No mention yet of Scuderias available for hire, yet. The price of hiring a 360 is half that of the 430.
