    Hi Guys,

    I saw Franco's new F430 drive by my house this morning! B-E-A-U-TIFUL! He was going by too fast to snap any pics, but if I can get some later I'll post.

    Later,

    Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but;

    Does this mean there's an F430 in New Orleans?!?! :) I'll have to keep my eyes peeled!

    Glad to see someone else wants a stick shift rather then the playstation paddles.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.... :)

    Agreed 100%... not too many stick 430's around. And I know Franco has been waiting for this car for quite some time, Im sure he is pleased!

    Time to run over to his shop and get the unedited reaction from him!

    His original 360 has been gone for quite some time. Back to Risi, who re-sold it.
    Then the 360 Challenge car has been out of his hands for a few months.

    So now that Franco is back in his own new Fcar I am sure he is a happy camper!

    Thanks John
    I figured he sold the 360 when the F430 arrived
    That Challenge car sounded Great!!!

    No prob, the original 360 went to Risi for cosmetic repairs after an incident and was subsequently sold off after the minor repairs where done. And as for the challenge car, it sure did sound mean! It had a little extra ummmff due to some motor work!

    FWIW, the second 360 is back in NO with a different owner.

    Hey Dave

    I had a total brain fart and missed the F1 race because for some reason I thought the replay wasn't until 11pm, lol.

    Hope you and Becky like that bottle of Cabernet I brought over to the house a couple weeks ago, talk to you soon.

    I just saw his car the other day in front of the shop on Royal while I was on vacation. It had the coolest child seat that I had ever seen.

    Yes, Franco had it custom made to match the Ferrari's Interior and it has his son's name (Maximo) embroidered on the seat! Sweet! Maybe he'll adopt me! :p
