    Hey guys,

    The day has finally come and now sitting in my garage (quite tightly may I add) where my BMW M6 tire marks were, is an absolutely stunning 07 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider!! It's my first Ferrari and not sure why I didn't get one earlier, it's brilliant!

    Right so specs, it's Nero Black with Crema CF Racing Seats with Black stitching, CF Upper & Lower Zones, Sat-nav, Bluetooth (gosh that radio is hard work), Crema Roll Bars, Yellow Dials and Callipers, Scud Shields, Navtrak and the regular garnish I guess. It has done 7000 miles and has been looked after very well, paintwork still looks factory.

    I'm sure there will be tons of questions in the near future from me but just want to say this board is brilliant filled with so much information and answered endless amounts of my questions thus far. Thank you all very much!

    Now the pics... just a couple I took at the dealers. When the weather gets a little better I will post ones that do the car justice...

    Thanks for reading

    Jay

    Very nice, congrats! Much more fun to watch your pics and read your story than the mud-fight next door in Big Luke vs. Ricambi.

    Cheers for the comments!

    P.S. Here comes one of my first questions... When you have the Ferrari Trickle charge on do you have to turn off the battery (using the kill switch)? Just want to have it fully charged as it's been uncharged at the dealers for a bit...

    Cheers!

    If you use the kill switch the car will need to go through its initial "learning"/drive-cycle every time - it resets the OBDII "surveillance" - at least that is how the 360 is, and I would think the 430 is the same. On my 360 I never use the kill switch when I connect the battery tender. Anyway, the owners manual probably has specifics.

    The cream interior looks brilliant against the black horse. +1 on loving the seats. I never got the triple black people, but each to their own.

    You know a car looks fantastic when pics from a 1 megapixel Jurassic phone still look stunning!

    ...darn; lost my 458 posts count for this one...

    I don't think my engine compartment looked like that when I bought mine. It's like he plugged in his intake manifolds. Sharp.
