    Hi guys, new to the forum and new to Ferrari ownership!

    I'm 26 years old and come from the UK. I'm a marine engineer and currently overseeing a dry docking in Dubai for 2 months, so the animal is at home locked away right now.
    I've always been a ferrari fan but have owned Porsches up until a few months ago. My last car was a Meteor Grey Carrera 4S 997 with a BIG old spec and I loved it. Sadly the power wasn't enough and since I love the exhaust note more than a turbo whine I had no choice but to stay N/A.

    Then one day whilst viewing an Audi R8 V10 I spotted this little beauty and didn't realise just how affordable modern Ferrari's really can be!

    I am now the proud owner of a 430 Spider in Nero Daytona with Crema and Bordeux stitching. This is by far the best car I've ever even sat in let alone owned, and the driving experience as I'm sure you'll all agree is second to none. Ferrari all the way for me from now on!

    I have uploaded some pictures a few days ago on another thread but will post some more if anybody is interested. I'm a keen ameteur photographer and this car lends itself beautifully to it so if anybody else has taken some good shots of theirs and would like to add a professional finish to them, just send them to me and I'll gladly have a tinker with them to bring the best out!

    Thanks guys,

    Aaron

    Great shot. Look forward to more. You must miss the car. Went for a drive today and it gets better and better. My M6 was beautiful; refined. The f430 is so raw and direct. I have no opportunity to miss the gadgets or stereo. I tried the Race and CST settings. Gotta respect those settings I've found.
