Will do when it arrives, pretty sure it will be in the new year now.

Getting info out of Abarth seems to have almost a week turn around time and come bit-by-bit................

Not impressed with the service so far seems worse than a volume manufacturer never mind Abarth's aspirations for luxury brand status...........

Latest we have is they will e:mail us and deliver the car direct, i am half expecting a utility company style can you be in on the morning of..........

    hi  :wave:
    actually find it quite sexy that we have a 695 lady owner  ;D might take Rory for a day out in manchester  :whistle:
    as for the V12 older brother, is it from the same family in italy may I ask?
    anyway, massive congrats and enjoy, very very very very very lovely car, you will LURVE it  :thumb:
    Older brother is the last manual box Ferrari 456 modificato imported to the UK (1 of 33) very beautiful and IMHO one of pininfarina's finest. Husband is very tempted by new 458 but my 695 had to come first  ;D
    Very good taste ma'am. I have driven 456m both in manual and automatic and have to say it is one of the best looking Ferraris in modern times - pity it got replaced with 612 Scaglietti!
    Yeah even though it has grown better looking with time the 612 is still a bit of a 'minger' (relatively speaking). Replacement 2+2 is due next year so you never know, they may get back on form. 458 looks rteally great but as with all V8's they will build tens of thousands and so will be as exclusive as a Louis Vuitton bag :yawn: or an Audi R8 :thumbd:..........

    456M GTA? Mansell has one in red, or he certainly did late 90's we have a 512 TR in the stable, flat 12 ( 1 of 48 ), I know what your saying about the Dino, not exactly an everyday car!

    I think the 695 will prove you made an excellent choice, a real gem of a small car, has all the right ingredients to have that supercar feel! look forward to seeing the pics  :thumb:

    That's quite a contrast to what other have experienced from them, myself included

    No sure we need to descend to libel.

    My experience of them is in total contrast. Two cars - enormous smile.  :thumb:

    I'm afraid I'm going to wade in here with my Admin hat of bossiness on. We have the dealer feedback for a reason so people can post relevant information on their experiences with dealers and as I've said elsewhere do not slate a dealer you've had no personal experience with just because you've read of someone else’s problems.

    Tributo obviously hasn't had a good experience in the past with the dealership in question but others have had different experiences for better or worse, let’s just leave this subject now.

    First off its always nice to have a woman who knows about cars, and by the sounds of it with good taste in cars, on a forum, secondly alot of people just see the 695 just as a publicity excerise if so isnt the Focus RS500 just the same?

    Would I want onethese? yes, would I care what people think? No

    Look forward to seeing the 695 when it arrives hopefully with its older brother as well. Welcome to the club
