The visit will be in May and I cannot wait for it to happen!
What a great gift. And, several days in Italy, as well. Best I could do was the model of the FXX K I gave my grandson.

Wife and I did the Factory tour last year in May; surprisingly, the wife really enjoyed it. She like it so much that she is making plans for us to go back again this May and then go to Monaco for the GP. Last year the only problem was that Ferrari was very late in issuing tour dates so it was a scramble to reschedule travel and lodging reservations. With a "special" tour, that may not be an issue.

Have fun!!!

Steve

Thanks I'm secretly hoping that she'll like it so much that she will let me get one next. I've been lusting after a 599...

I'll be honest in that so far it brews coffee so strong that I'm still tweaking how much coffee grounds to place in the maker.


This is an awesome coffee maker. Only one I can find that keeps the temp right all the way through the brew cycle. It’s that increased temp all the way through that is making your coffee stronger. Play with the amount (use a scale, not a scoop) and you’ll never look back.
