...and i´m really excited! Thanks a lot to the board for all the infos and great threads. I came from the aircooled 911 section with some bigger 964 and 993 projects and for years i have the F355, 360 and F430 in my head. Finally i pick up my F430 tomorrow. The beautifull F355 fit not very well with my long legs, the 360 ist great too, but my last car was a lightweight 993tt with 520 PS and 1.300 Kg and so my choice was the strongest from the 3 cars. Tomorrow i will post some data and pics. Greetings Christian
Thank you for supporting the demand side of the supply/demand equation! You will not be sorry. Having someone take some semi-professional pics of your delivery, first drive, etc will win over this crowd. Its all we have... Welcome to F world! You have chosen well my friend.
Congrats...we look forward to the pictures! An F430 is a great car and an awesome start into the world of Ferrari's!!!
Yes, i love that 156/250LM retro thing in the exterior design and i love the interior and last but not least the F430 is really a great car to drive and the sound is sooo nice. @all: Thanks a lot for the kind words! Greetings Christian
What a day! It start a little bit boring with waiting because in the minute where we arrived at the shop, Schumis dad and his girlfriend arrived to bring a car cover for their F430 Spider they sold. So we sit down and had a coffee and the staff run around the Schumis. But then my car came from washing and drove in the showroom. WOOOWWW, blast my mind, what a beauty, i fell in love the second time. Then some paperwork and a nice talk to really nice people from the staff and i drove home, the first time in my first Ferrari and i will never forget this special moment. I drive a lot of Porsche and a lot other cars but a horse is a horse, of course... Here are some pics and i will post more the next day from detailing and some little upgrades. @all: Thanks a lot again for the kind words! And the car data: F430 F1, daytona black, 1 owner, 11.000 km, 2008, ceramic brakes with yellow calipers, Scuderia shields, Daytona style seats all black with tone in tone stiching, Soundsystem, carbon interior at the dashboard. In all points exactly the car i´m searched for. Ok, i look forward to get a pair of racing seats. While waiting for the car the last two weeks, i bought a Scuderia wheel set and a Titanium wheel bolt set and the shop lowered the car. So that was the first upgrade and in my eyes it looks great. Greetings Christian
