Thanks for sharing your giant day out, seriously expensive kit there..

We also went to the Ferrari garage, here’s the new Testarossa in topical “construction plant yellow”😁
Needless to say I love the boxy styling, it’s almost Lego like!

Round the side they also sell some non Ferrari cars in an associated dealership, one of the last trad roadsters had pride of place.

Oh that yellaun is tasty a bit chunky like a Mars bar..

There’s plenty yellow about at the woods today, not really the right car for the job.😊

You may have mentioned it elsewhere but has the 296(?) replaced the 488 and if so, what are your thoughts?

There was a gap between cars, Ferrari Edinburgh asked to buy the 488 at a good price shortly after the Italian road trip I did in ‘24, they’ve actually risen in value even more since. It was an amazing car but life took a turn and I lost interest in cars for a while.
I had a superb drive home from Edinburgh yesterday, over Glenhee to Braemar then across to the Tomintoul road, then Rhynie, Huntly, Turriff and Crichie. No traffic and a million corners, burned a whole tank in 150 miles!
It’s incredibly powerful, sounds amazing and pin sharp, alway exciting. This one is the Assetto Fiarano version with titanium springs instead of the standard, a must if you want to actually drive the thing rather than cruise the high street looking at yourself in shop windows 😂
It’s better in every way than the previous models I’ve had except for depreciation, I’ll likely lose a fair bit on this one, it had less than 1k miles when I bought it and it’s already at 4K, I’ll be doing another Italian euro trip soon too so it’ll double again shortly.
To be honest I’m smitten again with Ferrari, I’d take any of the current line up, the back catalogue is good too but not at inflated prices.
You need to try the 12 cylinder cars as well, brilliant things especially the Purosague bonkers fast and handles like a rally car.

Thanks Ewan, appreciate the rundown!

I've lost track of the latest Ferrari numbers but have read a bit about the hybrid systems and the performance seems pretty astounding.

The 'no traffic' route with a million corners must have been an ideal run in the right car. I haven't been to Scotland in quite a few years but the plan is to change that either in the autumn or next Spring; therefore, I may be asking for some advice on recommended routes!

As for the Purosague, I haven't driven one but I have driven a few performance SUVs (I know Ferrari don't want that term used!) and the way they bend physics is nothing short of magic!

Nice car Ewan 👍 and a great driving road to take it on, there's an uphill stretch between Lumsden and Rhynie with around 15/20 of the corners you mention in quick succession that I love.
Another favourite is the A95 Keith to Mulben, flatter, wider and faster but with the same flowing right and left handers.

Forgot to mention the suicide rear doors on the Purosague, they’re the best I’ve seen and serve a purpose with the roofline.

You’re spot on Gordon, Rhynie is driving heaven, the only vehicle I overtook was an ice cream van of all things, who on earth needs an ice cream cone on a Saturday evening in the middle of the countryside ?😁
