    Hi all

    Thanks for those who shared there thoughts on my previous questions, finally picking my first F car up which is a 2011 458 in Rosso corsa, diamond cut wheels, black interior with red stitching, carbon wheel/driving zone/centre bridge, racing seats, lifting gear etc.

    Had a sleepless night last night like a child on Xmas eve!
    Unfortunately Storm Barbera is due today so looks like I will be driving it home in WET mode and also in the dark, will take some getting use to after driving a 2008 transit van for the past 12 months.

    No doubt I will be back on here soon with some more questions!

    Many Thanks
    Baz

    From inspection to collection in one easy week - congratulations

    Initial use of wet mode is very sensible not just due to any rain but also lower temperature tyre grip

    Congrats. I couldn't sleep at all leading up to picking up my car. Don't think I'll ever forget buying my first one.

    First impressions is WOW what a machine! Done just under 100 miles today, temperature has been below 10 degrees C and also been showers all day, Dirty already! Not had it out of Wet mode yet but still have had a few twitchy moments in the wet.

    Do any of you guys have the Navtrak with the key fobs? I done quite get what I need to do with them in order for it not to trigger the tracker?

    Baz - you need to keep the Navtrak fob with you when you drive the car, but remember to take it out of the car when finished. If you're doing this and Navtrak are calling you, then the battery will be flat in the fob. Simple job to replace.
    Congrats by the way!!
