    I wanted to share my experience with the guys at Auto Bugatti in Montreal.
    This Friday I was at Calabogie Motorsports with the Ottawa Ferrari Fest track guys. I had a problem with the fuel delivery on the Testarossa.
    As soon as Benny Criniti from Auto Bugatti heard of my problem he dropped everything (it looked like a nice sandwich he was eating too) and came over, introduced himself and started diagnosing the problem. He was very friendly, experienced, polite and a true gentleman.
    Within 15min he had the car back out on the track and kept checking in on how the car was running. It ran great for the rest of the weekend.
    It was amazing that with all the responsibilities Benny, Joe and the Auto Bugatti Team had that day, that they would spend the time on a strangers car.
    On top of everything, they invited me and my wife to the Auto Bugatti tent for snacks and refreshments.
    You will be a very lucky Ferrari owner to have Benny Criniti work on your car. Like I said before, a true gentleman and he knows his Ferrari's inside out and a great guy to have an espresso with after as well!

    Just don't drop off your f430 with a perfectly fine clutch... you may get it back fully burned.

    Obviously some people don't know what a perfect clutch is. The SD3 does not lie!! Clutch wear is clutch wear on an 05 430 F1 with high mileage.

    Whenever I have visited there I have been treated well, answered my questions and always made to feel welcome even if I will only ever be a tire kicker!

    Cheers!

    12k = high mileage? I'm just sayin I dropped it off the clutch was fine... when I came back to pick it up... you told me the clutch was about to go... and to drive it easy...and the whole speech about how "you can burn a clutch out going around the block" (at the time I was wondering WTF you were talking about).... I didn't get a block down the street before it jumped gears... prior to the F1 line going, I drove it for 2 days straight with zero problems... something wasn't right about the whole situation.... or maybe during the test drive it just happened to let go? Yes that's possible... and if that's what happened I can accept it... but only the person who "test drove" it actually knows.
    I actually retract my first post ... I don't know what the wear was prior to dropping it off... I just know there were no obvious problems in 2 days of driving just prior.
