    Well, from the reaction of the photographer and his remark, I am sure it was an impressive maneuver driving into that bend :D. Really glad you are enjoying her.
    The car also just sounds great at that speed. What was your speed driving into that bend and did it feel comfortable with the steering, braking and control of the car at that moment?
    I see you're not wasting time with the running in ;) and that is the way it should be.
    Do you already have bra on her?
    My F430 has been slightly delayed. Got a note that she should be arriving on March 19th. Hopefully!!

    think we were going ~ 150 on the straight, I went into the corner at ~90

    The strange thing is that I'm so used to driving the Gallardo on the track and for some reason (probably the higher seat position) the 430 feels slower at the same speed.
    The Carbon brakes are just fantastic - wont ever buy another sports car without them
    I had all the protective film put on the car before I got it

    So the car is 7 days old and has done:
    4 return trips to the office in central London
    1 track event
    4 photo shoots
    900 miles

    there are lots of other track pictures here: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?t=367967&f=63&h=0&p=2

    Some serious driving Douglas :).
    I guess you should consider getting into the Ferrari Challenge race ;).

    Just went through all your pictures @ pistonheads. Fantastic day, great pictures.
