    Hey everyone, I just picked up my first Ferrari last week: it's a 2007 F430. It took about 2 months of searching before I found the right car. The car is in beautiful condition and has 13k miles on her. She has a great maintenance/service history and I have all the documentation. I'm looking forward to meeting some other local Ferrari owners and I plan to attend the next FoW event. Are local events usually posted here? Here are a couple pictures I took after Katie's Cars and Coffee on Saturday.

    Thanks Robert! Yes, I saw your response, haha. It's definitely true, the sound is intoxicating so I can't get enough of it right now.

    Hope to meet you at an event soon.

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend that day. I'll have to catch one in the spring.

    Congrats! Well done.

    This isn't the car previously owned by Mr Tire is it?

    Come out and join us at Annapolis City Dock on Sunday from 0800-noon. Checkout the Annapolis Cars and Coffee Facebook page (for info on alternative site during October Boat Shows).

    I also have a 430 - great car, as you well know. - Al

    Thanks for the welcome and for the calendar. I'll be sure to take a look at it and try to attend as my schedule allows, but just have a very busy Oct/Nov.


    Don't think it was owned by Mr. Tire? I bought the car from Ferrari of Atlanta. Thanks for the invite to C&C as well! Only been a week, but so far I'm in love with the car.

    Competezione had the Mr Tire 430 on consignment. FoA is a reputable dealer. Looking forward to seeing you Annapolis. We go through the winter, weather permitting.

    Ahhh ok. That one got sold before I could make a move. I may be mistaken, but I thought someone had posted in the 430 section about buying a car recently from Competizione. I'm assuming it was that one.

    Annapolis is about 60 miles from me, so I'll let you know when I'm able to make it out there. I usually stick to Katie's, Dulles Landing, or FoW since they are much closer. But will try to head to Annapolis and make a day trip of it. Thanks Al.

    I feel the same about the drive to FoW or Katie's. At least there isn't much traffic on Sunday mornings and we don't start nearly as early as Katie's.

    Great car Ahmed. We parked next to each other a few weeks ago at the Sterling event. I have the 360 spider. It was nice to meet you. I am sure I will see at future events that we have around here. FCA-Mid-Atlantic Region have some great events throughout the year as Ron mentioned. Happy driving!!

    Nice meeting you Kevin! I know the season is almost over this year, but I'll be around in the spring. I also realized I have a picture of your car from some other event in the past. If you shoot me a message, I can email it to you.
