599 improvement ?

Post by richkaz »

Not usually too keen about after market specialist companies ' improving' the original design concept with various expensive bolt on Halfords look a like extras which look dreadful ten years on. The Ferrari 599 is already a good looker but don't you think this might just be a subtle improvement ? 8)

Beeing f-car owner (and active in that "world"), those wheels are ruining such a nice car...

(plus tip; never buy Fezza with Kahn wheels, it has most likely been owned by footballer :lol: )

Wasn't meaning to be a smart 4rse - it's my favorite ferrari (closely followed by the 612 scaglietti) but if the only changes are some different wheeels then I prefer the standard wheels anyway.

Still a gorgeous car though - there was a silver/grey one at Goodwood which was beautiful

Project Kahn are just over the hill in Bradford and on any given day there is probably a million quids worth of motors being blinged up.

My issue with them is that they are just a bit too footballer/gangsta/MTV cribs for me

my neighbour's got a 599 ( with standard wheels!) - the best car I've ever driven - unbelieveable performance - when they drop to 100K - I'm having one !!!!

And when they drop to £ 5k so am I !! :P








Seriously though I am more of a Lambo nut having already owned two and
could still really fancy a silhouette as currently £30k buys a nice one

The Ferrari crowd that I've meet seem to take themselves a trifle seriously for my liking and I'm sure that the Kahn wheels are a no no but I would still have that 599 exactly as shown apart from the cream interior . I would order deep cognac to set off that dark gunmetal exterior.
Someone wake me up please :drunken:
