Even if he had imported a manual 599 from Germany, it would have doubled in value. To bad chris didn't, if he did, he would have owned two cars that actually gain value over time, GT3 RS 4.0 and manual 599.

I also have the same problem as Chris, I love to drive it and have put on 14000 k's in 2 and a half years but I don't care, I would drive it every day but then it would add 25000k's per year and yes, cost a fortune in petrol.

Gorgeous video once again Chris. And i like how the sense of speed was portrayed here and how the colour balances in the clip went with that of the vehicle. Nice touches all over.

I like his last comment, he wants to experience many different cars. I think that's a great disposition, and a satisfying one. It's not all about having a more valuable car. It ultimately comes down to the experience. Great review

Love your reviews Chris. No car pushing here. Honesty and what I see as wise perspective on car ownership in general and a careful distaste for overt tech nonsense of newer cars. If ferrari doesn't let you drive their cars anymore, it might have something to do with that and your praises for some of their older models especially. Consider it a compliment. I'm sure Enzo would be proud :) Cheers

when you're the best at what you do, you reap the rewards

Congratulations on buying a Ferrari Chris. I was never really sure about the 599 but then I saw how fast it was on a track and my mind changed. Great car

Chris is just amazing.his commenting skills are the only matched by his equally impressive driving !!

its funny how chris harris drives so smoothly that when you speed up the film it just looks like hes superhuman behind the wheel

It’s been 8 year since the f12 came out? Damn I feel like it was 3 years ago

Great decision buying the 599GTB! Your right. Great value now. Great looking car.

2:09 Look how fast! Through turns! WOW

the 8 cylinder ferrari's get all the attention, but this car is badass, the f12 looks awesome too.

Had Chris been able to hold onto both cars for another year or two he woulda had nearly half a mill in the bank haha! In fact include the testarossa in there and he probably would hit that mark! Bonkers cars!

I totally hear you about the lack of the driving experience missing with many of these modern sports cars lacking a traditional clutch.

Now THAT is a classy daily driver Ferrari! The lines on this car scream "gentleman" and it's the best color apart from dark jade green (I know I may be weird). I don't usually comment but wow, congratulations and well done, very very tasteful! I love your videos buddy!!

Love the Slayer T-shirt :)

One word to describe his videos : Captivating. He allows all of us to feel what he feels, through his emotions and proper use of the English dictionary :)

Watch his Joe Rogan podcast, he couldn't afford the 4.0's £1000 a month payments anymore so he had to sell it. Then a few months later he suddenly had the money from new jobs and thought he had always wanted the 599 so why not. He said he was annoyed with how the 4.0's price had shot up but he still made a good profit. He also said he views cars as experiences to own, so he's done the 4.0 and it was all about what was next.

It is a sad reflection of the Ferrari owners of today that nobody bought a manual in the UK.

The manual versions today are so rare they fetch £500k plus.LOL!

In Italy where the car is made it's not seen as such. Typically you'll see the older gray haired man cruising through the countryside. Let's not let the punks who buy the cars to compensate for any insecurities ruin the cars, because it's not the manufacturer's fault and not in their control who buys the cars. I'm well travelled and have family in Germany and Italy, having spent considerable amounts of time in both countries. You don't see many spoiled rich kids in either country driving these cars as commonly as it is seen in America. I've been in the US for many years now. To some, the ones who are quick to judge and criticize, the young man or any many for that matter with a Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, and the like are seen as rich spoiled snobs who are just insecure. Yes there are owners like that but that shouldn't ruin the reputation of the respective makers or the drivers who legitimately drive the cars for the amazing experience they offer and can appreciate them for what they are. As it's said, let's not let a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. In this video Chris is enjoying the car the way it should be. He has acknowledged on multiple occasions the car is not practical for use in say London for example. But at the end of the day it's his money, his preference, and ultimately his choice. He and nobody else who makes purchases is not the least bit hurting any one of us. I think we have more important matters in society that are worthy of bitching about.

Chris deserves a Ferrari - love his reviews and delivery - feels like your talking to a real person rather than some marketing geek who has to review a car

I love how you have changed from a track racing monster to a much more subtle GT car,personally not the Ferrari of my choice but a mighty fine GT car by any means Chris, also never saw this car in Grigio Silverstone before and i do agree it looks fantastic and suits the 599 better than I could have imagined :)
