Grigio Silverstone F430 Coupe Photos Request

Hi all,

I've been an avid lurker for years who's been obsessing over F430s since they came out back when I was in middle school.

I've loved all things with wheels and a motor since before I could talk and grew up going to local shows with my dad in his Vettes.

I was ~12 years old and knew nothing of Ferrari when on one summer day, standing in the parking lot of a local Vette rally, a 430 pulled in. I was standing on an island in the middle of the parking lot - as I looked to my right, the car, low and wide, rumbled in. As it circled the island and pulled into the spot directly adjacent to me, I drooled over its coupe lines, grigio silverstone paintwork and red calipers. As the door flung open revealing its rosso interior, my jaw dropped. It was at that point that my nearly lifelong dream was born, solidified by a 2-hour drive to Wayne Carini's shop where my father and I followed that car in our Vette - will never forget seeing and hearing that car roll down the road.

Been a long journey but getting ready to take the plunge into F-car ownership. Not rushing but keeping an eye out for the right car - goes without saying but must be grigio silverstone, ideally red, bordeaux or black interior, and importantly, higher mileage (25-40k would be great). Been a long time coming so I plan on driving it, a lot!

My question to the F-chat community: I love looking at pics of the car but am getting tired of looking at the same pics and videos over and over again - any current owners with this spec out there who mind sharing high-res pics or videos? Could use the eye candy as motivation to find the right one. Goes without saying but if you know of one for sale, would love to hear about it.

Here's a few of my favorite videos that I've found over the years (there's not many):






Many thanks.
