    Eccentric ? Interesting, I'll have to take another look.

    The 360 is one of my favorite F cars; however, I'm not very drawn to the 'box' between the driver and passenger foot wells.

    Notice there's a small slope - the 599 is in the higher end of the slope, so it cheats a bit ;)

    It's a Gamin navi unit I'm trying. Not sure what I think yet.

    Hey, that looks like a Nüvi! How do you like it?

    I got one last winter and love it.

    (EDIT: I so wish I could say the same thing about the car...)

    Pure sex. I am officially now a fan of the way the 599 looks thanks to you.
    Hint: Posting more pics in this situation, is never a bad thing. ;)

    Absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations.

    If I was in your place, though, I would get the manual.

    Is that nasty panel damage on your F430 there joker.......:eek:
    P.S-I know its probably the reflection from the 599. ;)
    Also, which do you enjoy to drive more joker? The 599 or 430? Hard question, because they are both different animals. But is the 599 your fav now? And is it much quicker/handle better than the F430? Cheers for your pics and writeup. I have yet to even see a 599 in person, let alone chat to a guy that owns one. So all your comments are much appreciated buddy. :)

    Good to hear. :) Who's 599 was it? Did you drive the car and were you faster than all the 430's out on the track? :)

    Managed to miss this thread. Nice cars Joker, im guessing you live some where nice within the UK.

    You must be liked by Ferrari GB or Maranello, as you seem to have some of the first cars, and 06 599GTB and a 54 F430, not often you see them that early. :)

    Enjoy them, might see you around!

    Your car is stunning, Joker. Great job! Could you post a picture of the headliner and sun visors so we can see how the colors are done there? Also, is your color scheme on the interior the Ferrari standard or did you request a different placement of color?

    Can you turn the steeing wheels lights off or dim them? The 599 looks alot more civilized IMO. Nice job!
