I didn't like the 612 when it debuted, but it looks really good in black, IMHO.

Looks like Lake Como. The Villa d'Este. Just around the corner from George Clooney's place.

Thanks!! I agree, it's hard to beat that look in the interior. Iconic "Sports Car" is written al over that.

As someone who has had a photo stolen and used -- uncredited -- in a TV show, I have some sympathy.

But in reality, only the good guys will react appropriately and remove images. Putting an image on the Internet is to lose control over it. so I only publish small, low-resolution or "stamped" images if I'm concerned about rights. It also allows me to not look like an a-hole because I don't have to chase down people this way. Unfortunately, as a copyright holder, if you do not chase people down, you lose control.

Incidentally, copying an image like that and putting it on another public forum can be considered "fair use."

considering how much i enjoyed looking at the photos, not to mention the vast amounts of money i have made off of those photos in the short hours they have been posted, i take solace in the fact that No ONE can take either away from me!!

ARrrrrr, now walk the plank you pasta lovers!

Very sorry, Wayne...was not my intent to bring unecessary heat for a few pictures. I neglected to catch kind Mr. Massini's copyright and (incorrectly) assumed they were free to post like so many other photos that make up this thread.

With that said, here are some new pics to replace the aformentioned images that I took, so we should be safe.
