    Saw a red 430 Spider in Sydney this morning, driving up from Garden Island towards Potts Point. It had dealer plates and looked like two mechanics from Ferrari in it, obvioulsy from the dealer in Williams St.

    This must be one of the first if not the first in Australia? Looked awesome the front headlights really make a difference compared to the 360.

    Awesome!
    Wish i had of seen it. Ive yet to a 430 in the flesh.

    Is it me, or are there a few DB9's crusing around here at the moment. Apart from James Packer's one, ive seen 3 different ones. All different colors.

    I didnt think that they were here at the moment.

    I also saw the new Bentley Flying Spur and a CLS55 on the road over the weekend. The Bentley had English plates on. Oh and a black DB9 in Rushcutters Bay...

    Yep...there can only be one "first" and that's AHG. First 430, and first 430 coupe. NOT the first 430 spider though, obviously

    Glad to hear the real 'first' went to a real gentleman and someone who will really use it as intended - can't wait to see it on the track later in the year.
    Congrats AHG - hope you're having fun!

    Thanks kerrari.
    The 430 is a sensational car to drive.
    I am really enjoying it, especially the power and mid range torque. It makes a wicked sound.
    I love the CC brakes!
    Now finished running in, 2000km, and off to Phillip Island on 5th June with the Alfa Club, then Winton with FCA on 25th June.

    It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
    Your R rated tyres should give you a head start!

    if AHG can use the full rpm range he should just edge the 550 out on the track but I think on the open road the 550 would be an immensely superior high speed cruiser while the 430 would be slightly tiring at consistent high speed in comparison.


    oh yeah rock on .....sorry scud, can't help myself :D
