its getting close to that time for my 612 =(........

i been driving my OTO 612 lately, despite the goodness of my 458, Scud badness, brutal 599, or the utilitarian 430s, i always love the 612 the most.

I dont know if its the elegant yet beautiful lines or the serene feeling when driving it, but IT IS still my favorite fcar to drive around. Its got the best stereo, low profile looks, the all leather interior, much better built quality then 599 or 430s, and majestic pose, yet its a bada$$ mofo when u wanna go juvenile.

its been months since i need to make space for the incoming 458. The 458 arrived and still im driving the 612 around, cant seem to let it go, but recently i have several offerings, maybe i need to think about it more, since the new 612 is coming.

i didnt got to the factory invite to see the new one, but i seen all the pictures and sh!t, it is really a HUGE disappointment to me so far. I Hate the cali like interior and the sports back everybody's been talking about, im sure it will have great performance, but i dont think it can surpass the current one's beauty.

i wish that next time when i come on here, i would still have my 612, but here are some pics from the day of delivery, i couldnt believe i actually brought home a 612!!!!
Its only been a year and a half since new but i have lots of great memories in it! Thanks to all who share my great passion with this car.

pics :

It's so nice to see another person that loves the 612. I have always liked the car, your spec is beautiful btw, but it never got the love I thought it deserved.

dont need other people to tell u what u like.
everybody loves the 458, scud, 430, 599, whatever, thats easy. i dont like easy but i got them.
able to get a 612 is already over the moon, i think mine stickered at US$500K+, highest of them all, luckily it still is my favorite one to take out.
I might take the others if im going to do some twisties, but driving the 612 doesnt require a route plan, it can do whatever.

I was always a fan of the 612, especially the OTO and the heavily optioned cars are truly exquisite. I would put this as the perfect DD along with a Bentley SS GT.

I've always liked the 612 for some odd reason and yours is one of my favorites, John. It's just so clean!

My advice would be to hang onto it for as long as you can, especially if you don't like the looks of the new car and you still love yours.

612 is a great car, 599 is better looking IMO ...the others are totally different cars.

I haven't thought about it, but the 612 must be a very nice car to DD! How does the OTO model differ from the normal one? Haven't heard about that.

Btw, it's a very nice color and the wheels look awesome on your car! Goes along perfectly with those smooth curves it got

thanks, but with almost 6k miles its the most ever in a fcar for me, i thought i would get tired of it but surprised im not. i got rid of the 430s much sooner than that.
i finally got used to the po-going around town feel of the tranny and its been very pleasant, it used to be the biggest complaint for this car.
