    Coming from the CS ... I keep reaching for the non-existant paddles; then my left foot wakes up, apologizes, and grudgingly finds the clutch pedal ;-)

    The driving position is a lot higher in the F430 with the daytonas .. .it feels almost like driving an SUV in comparison.... (well, almost, in much the same way that Britney Spears is "almost" smart ;-)

    The car itself is absolutely stunning. Congrats and enjoy!

    *It would look even better with pictures of the entire car, IMO. I hate the cropped off look of the photos. In one photo, it looks like the car has no wheels.

    I commend your choice to go without the shields. It is the right thing to do. (IMHO)

    Congratulations on a beautiful car. The interior is just perfect.

    Both piping and inserts - I rarely see that, and on your car it looks fantastic IMO. Well done, enjoy.

    ...and stitching. Even Rarier!

    I like the CF shift knob on the gated 6-speed. I always wondered if that was done when you order the CF driver's zone on the F430.

    I was starting to feel like the 6 speed is like the full sized spare tire, almost extinct. Its goood to see some people are still ordering the 6 speed. Very very nice, I approve.

    What a beautiful car. And that stitching/piping is amazing.
    Great class paul and perfect color combination.

    Congratulations and drive it in good health.

    Thanks Nasharty -- coming from you and your photography skills, well, that means a lot!

    I loved how the seats came out.. I was nervous that they'd look too "busy", but I just think they look awesome -- I'm really happy with them. Obviously not everyone's cup'o'tea, but I wanted to be a little different this time around.

    One thing I didn't take a picture of is the alcantara headliner in tan, which just looks killer! It's not like the alcantara in the CS, which is more of a "racing" (for lack of a better term) type ... in the F430 it's the softest suede like some Italian his missing his favorite suede jacket. Bella!


    The 1D is nice with its 1.3x crop factor which is great for wide-angle shots. Coupled with the 24-70 f2.8L it's capable of quite nice pics :)

    Thanks. Just trying to be "arty" -- I did take off the wheels for that shot ;-)
