    Hi there,

    I post this thread to share the best moment we (=me and my wife) had untill now with Ferrari's.
    We started out 6 years ago in a 328 and drove 53,000 km's without a sweat. During this time we met so many people and made a lot of fun. Some events are famous (Deil-meeting 2010, Italytrips during Mille Miglia 2008/2009/2010/2011 ect.)
    Anyhow the time was there (read: deal was to sweet) to step up to a beautiful F430 with the right specs:

    CS rims, keramic breakes, special interior (look at the wall behind the seats) "daytona" style seats, out of range paint colour and BRAND NEW!!!

    After test drive (see: http://youtu.be/Q7VuSKuBSRI ) the deal was made. This was 3 weeks ago just before our departure to Italy (Mille Miglia 2012). We requested the dealer (Kroymans) to deliver the car before our annual trip. They did, last week. In the proces we came up with the idea to invite all people we have met & stayed in contact with during the Ferrari years of the 328 to say goodbye to it and greet the F430. This ended up in an exciting day with only Ferrari'sti.

    Friends, Emotions and Ferrari's is the best!

    Thx all! It is very special to collect with friends/ferraristi I can reccomend it to everybody!
    Also afterwards to go on the road in a line-up is special to do and see.

    Next stop (wednesday) tech-check of Mille Miglia Italy and Thursday night: Start of Mille Miglia. :)

    It is already at the lowest. Clearance tire/wing front=25mm back=35mm (standard F=60mm B=75mm)

    Thx. As I have told many friends. I did not expect to meet and find so many (new) friends by buying a ferrari. In my personal opinion the friends you get is a greater "gift" then the car itself.... Do I make sense?
    After 6 years driving the 328 it was important for me to share the next chapter, the F430. I was stunned by the warmth and compagnionship we both received that day (almost like a first born) don't forget the number of people 58! we all met by the 328...

    As one of my friends told me that day: a ferrari can have a dent, real friendship can't...

    Today we depart for the next event in Italy, the world famous Mille Miglia. We will participate with 10 ferrari's/20 friends. I am looking forward to not only the driving as you can understand ;)

    A clip (we make every year together with a 1 hour film) you can see at: http://youtu.be/PLEH521jXPg

    well, a Z06 or lp560 can casually roll down ramps at my condo that the F430 require a spotter to make it down. Even then you risk smoke from the clutch of the Ferrari to go up said ramp...

    These are fun, but fragile, cars.

    To the OP, your car is absolutely gorgeous. Unbelievable set of options.
