    I've been a lifelong car lover, and yes I remember when the 250 GTO, the 300SL and DB4 Zagato were introduced. I've had a number of wonderful vehicles, both two and four wheeled, over the years, but my lifelong dream has always been to own a Ferrari. That dream came true last week, it was lust at first sight soon followed by love. She is a very well optioned 2009 F430 F1 Berlinetta in near perfect condition with 39,000 Kms. on the clock. Here she is in all of her glory!

    Very nice! 430s are great cars, the last of the raw V8 Ferraris according to some. Did you buy it in France?
