    Hi All,
    My first Ferrari arrives next Friday, to say I am excited is a understatement.
    It's a2009 f430. Red/cream
    I live in Braintree, Essex.
    Just wondering if there is anybody else local.
    It would be good to have a ride out or a meet over the next few months.

    Kindest regards

    Dave

    Hope your having a blast and your first few days of ownership were as special as mine were.

    Im in Colchester so hope to see you out and about over the summer, post up some pics

    Saw quite a few 430s out on test drives in the last few weeks I expect around the A12 and roads leading to dealers in Colchester, was one of them you?

    Lovely looking car, that crème leather interior must be a bit scary to keep in shape!

    will probably end up going to a few of the pistonhead Essex Saturday morning car meets over the coming months, hope to see you there or a morning convoy down the A120/A12 at some point!

    Just bought my first Ferrari, a F430 Spider F1 ..........Love it. Looking forward to meeting a few local people, there is so much about driving it that I don't know.

    Well done - the best way to learn the car is to drive it (having read the manual !) and then look for queries that have been previously asked in the 430 section - and if all else fails just ask !
