    WOW...It was great meeting Rob (Treviso) fellow F chatter...I saw his car for sale on F chat and Brought my Trailer up to Michigan, from Louisiana, to pick it up in Person...Rob's a Great guy and I wish we could have visited more...but I had to Shake and Bake back home.

    The Color is incredible ....I have a Red and tan 328 and I thought I wanted a Red/Tan 430, but I really like this color!!....The Car was Flawless....My daughters smile says it all :D ....She's never driven a Stick Shift...What a great Car to learn on :D ....it will make a good story for her grand kids one day :D ....

    My wife is from Texas...She knows how to handle a Stick!!...:D I think she likes it...:D :D The car still smells new with only 4700 miles on it.....

    How long does it take before I quit going out to the Garage and look at it every hour? :D .....I don't know why I waited so long to get the 430...I've been thinking of one for 2 years....I may or may not sell the 328, its been such a good dependable car...tough decision. Anyway...just checking in....

    Very nice. The first F430 I drove was that colour. I ended up with a nero/nero coupe.
