spoke to Dave. His has 10k more miles and is more money....

I had red leather before. I liked it alot... probably more than black.

but this came with 2 sets of wheels and black leather easily to sell on


This was CHEAP car for 16k with such few miles and as you know its VERY straight car.


Chip! Poke it! I'm pleased with it. Is fine for those odd occasions when I want a 4 seater or I dont wanna leave the Ferrari or 911 parked somewhere.

bet it will go around Ring ok too and I can get Tan at same time

Surely if he has only just got it then he will be wanting to drive it for a bit as its a new toy, so you'd be better off trying to borrow the F430, he must be bored of that by now after all?

You've driven the F430.... do you reckon you could get bored of it?

Only when I had to pay for a service

Fair play for using it on track, SO few owners of a car like that use it properly!
I wish I'd worked as hard as you and ended up with the means to find out like yourself! You've got more equity in that car than I have in my house I suspect
