Well finally gave in and accepted the loan of a 595 for the day his coming Saturday. If the OH likes it then I guess I'll be putting my order in for 2013 delivery. Quite like the Record Grey but will probably choose the BNW (sorry, I mean Gara white) with Red embellishments same as we have now.
The A500 still drives beautifully but now that you can get the MTA box in a tin top I think it needs to be tested. The old Competizione box in the 500c felt sluggish but apparently the software has been optimised which speeds up shifts, similar to the 695 and makes the paddles more fun to use.
The dealer asked me how many miles on the car and was surprised when I said, "only 14000".
