Good choice. I have a feeling this car will be the new benchmark in the quarter million dollar class.

I'm afraid the macca dealer still has my deposit although I have been having more than a few thoughts about bailing out. They had an event with the car and a screening of the movie Senna last week and upon seeing the 12C in the flesh for the second time it confirmed the fact that I just can't get excited about its looks. They say you don't see the outside when you are inside driving it, but that is pretty lame excuse. At those prices a machine needs to be the whole package! I am waiting for a few more press reviews and comparos to come out in May/June before determining.

In the meantime though the weather was good over the past few days and I did 200 miles on the CGT with the new super sport tires I had installed. It was EPIC. That seems to be working consistently for me as a medicine to cure any lingering thoughts of other cars. As ferris bueller said: highly recommended if you have the means.
