    Hi all,

    We are from Paris and here is our 6-speed manual F430 Coupe :)

    The car is from 2005 and currently has 45 000 km (28k miles) on the clock.

    Rosso Corsa / Charcoal leather. Steel brakes, red calipers, red rev-counter, carbon pack, Scuderia shields. The car has been lowered a little bit.

    Such an amazing car to drive with the 6-speed manual transmission... :D

    Cheers,
    Armen

    I can't imagine how much fun that must be touring the French countryside in a 430 with three pedals! Enjoy!

    Beautiful car!

    I will be fortunate to visit Paris this summer for the first time in early July. Staying at the Pullman Paris Eiffel Tower.

    Any words of advice, restaurants or brasseries to check out near this area? Any hints are helpful. We are hitting the Louvre and the Tower but are flexible for other ideas.

    Thanks.

    Just flew out of Paris and still waiting in KL on transit

    Great place and saw a few ferraris.. But can't imagine it's that great driving through the city. It's traffic is horrendous sorry. But the country side is painfully beautiful. Enjoy!!

    Driving in Paris absolutely blows. I would hate to subject and exotic/sports car to that. The French country side, the Alps and the French Riveria are a different story!!!

    I don't think I have seen a red F430 with such an aggressive tint job. It looks marvelous!

    Armen,

    Great car !!! I lived in Paris for 6+ years and hope to return soon. I remember going to Ferrari / Maserati Dealer behind Arc de Triomphe... I lived in 8eme arrondissement.. Few of my friends from my country club had Ferraris and we drove together roaming around at odd hours... Hahaha...

    Bon chances avec ta nouvelle voiture.. Quelle Combination des couleurs!!!

    Salut...

    Brian

    Thank you very much for all your kind words :)

    @brian : nice to hear you lived in Paris for more than 6 years, great ! :D


    Guys, if anyone can confirm me something.
    I thought our car had been lowered but in fact I read on FerrariChat that early production F430 (end of 2004 and 2005) were, from factory, lower than the next model-years.

    Here is the press photo of the F430 in 2004, our car has the exact ride height.

    And here is an other picture of an F430 which seats higher, I presume a post 2006 car.
