    I've posted my F430 Coupe in the Ferrarichat Classifieds. You can see it at:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/ferrariads/showproduct.php?product=2570

    I've decided to sell it as we are building a new house in a very rural area. The drive to the new place, once exiting the highway, is a few miles of dirt and rock roads with a fairly good crown in the road and lots of ruts and potholes. Not the best environment for an F430 to be driven on...if it would even make it without bottoming out. Please contact me directly if you're interested. Thanks.

    Steve

    P.S. I will probably look for a Challenge car for the track after this...we'll see what comes up!

    Nice car!!

    And, it's nice to see someone who provides disclosure about the condition and/or history of the car, no matter how small.

    Hmmmm...you're right...I didn't put the mileage in the listing. Thanks for catching that...it's in there now. 3,800 miles on the clock.

    I definitely plan to keep taking pictures...I'll have to move on to someone else's car now though!

    No way to really fix the drive in. The roads are dirt and are going to stay that way forever I suspect. It should be a nice shack. Big house, big garage, high-end observatory (with top of the top of the line telescope and mount), big barn on 190 acres in the middle of nowhere, USA. Actually, it is located near a small town on the AZ/NM border called Rodeo, NM (population 200). Most of the new toys are ranch and/or outdoors related. John Deere, two horses, three quads, Fleetwood Gearbox toy hauler, and Suzuki DRZ400S dirt bike. I've still got the Ducati 749R for the track. Thinking of either a Ferrari Challenge car, Ariel Atom, or Lotus Exige S as a track car. Probably hold off until we're settled in the new place though. (we're basically equidistant between Firebird Raceway in AZ and Arroyo Seco Raceway in NM)

    Sounds really good! Enjoy your new home. An Exige S is an amazing track car, sooo light.

    GL. On the pics you house looks very new. Why do you buying an other house? Ok my dad buy and buys and buys new houses and appartment. I have only one word for your car: amazing. It is the best F430 I have ever seen. The best color for that car. It looks amazing in the pics. Good luck for the sale. I think you get a good price.

    Do you like flying? Out there I would buy a Robinson R22 or R44 helicopter in a heartbeat.

    sh.t man, that's Porsche country. I lived in Sonoita up 3 miles of dirt and turbo's were great fun playing point and squirt in the mud, and always survived the washboard and crown. any knowledgeable ranch born tech could tell what part of Sonoita i was in [3 diffrent ranches] by the colour of the mud in the fenders

    Wow! such a beautiful car! Have you considered getting some sort of storage in town for your car? you could make the switch and drive till your hearts content and then come back and switch back to what you were driving and head home, up the gravel drive way!

    There is no "in town" where we're moving. Population 200. Mostly ranches. Good idea though.

    Steve, your car is gorgeous and I hope it finds a good home! I was the fellow with the Challenge Stradale near your booth at the Concorso Arizona. I have to ask, how will your get broadband data to the ranch? No cable, likely no nearby central office for easy DSL......

    I remember you and the car well...can't help but have good memories when you see a CS! Believe it or not, we actually have DSL out there. The area is full of amateur astronomers (I'll be one of them) and so high-speed Internet has been a priority for the development of the valley.

    Off-topic, but I was curious what telescope equipment are you using? I have recently been thinking about buying a scope, but will probably stick to the (relatively) cheaper LX-200 with an Atlas. Have you done any astrophotography?

    Just lowered my price on the F430 by $10K to $229,995...one of the best deals out there on a Ti/Blk '06.

    Peter5...you have a PM.
