Interesting direction taken by this thread . A friend of mine in her 80s told me a story of her uncle who didn't think, the brand new technology...
Starting this thread makes me realize there are alot of thoughtful and intelligent individuals who own Ferraris. Interesting points made. Any of...

The F430 is the last Ferrari designed by PininFarina. Yes the 456 has the PininFarina badge but the design was brought in house. I have an F430...
Ha,ha, bloody funny. Magazine is sitting on my coffee table.: :D
Personal I would not touch a converted car. Long term I feel the value of converted cars will drop below the unmolested F1. Look at the auction...
Why not turn it into a 16M? Or at least a pretender. :D

Interesting posts. Makes me appreciate being 15 miles from the shop that works on my car.
Well, we in US and Canada can ship all our high mileage exotics to Europe and you can send the low mile cars to us. You are happy and we are...
Never taken any of my cars to a car show nor do I have any interest in doing that.
@Alwaysworkn : All good advice by others. I would point out the car has 50,000 miles and parts wear out. Be prepared on a higher maintenance cost...
@iheartf430s : Both are wonderful cars. Had I bought the 360 it would have been gated. For the F430 I chose the F1 transmission. I picked the...
