An excerpt…To test the Ferrari FF’s versatility, last fall we drove one across rural northern New England, from the Maine coast over New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains into the foothills of New York’s Adirondacks. Terry Allen, photographer extraordinaire, had arrived at my house in Maine with a couple of carry-on bags, a two-gun alloy case, and one of those oversize double-decker duffle bags that was—as they say in the hills of Vermont—“heavier’n a dead minister.” Yet, along with my own (much more modest) kit, everything fit under the FF’s liftgate, with some spillover onto the back seats. Our destination was Pheasant Ridge, a small private estate in Greenwich, New York, near Saratoga Springs, where proprietor Virginia Mallon has hosted a jewel of a continental pheasant shoot for more than 20 years.
