    Don't like the look of it. I know it's supposedly better for around the track for whatever reason (is it lighter? grippier?).
    Apparently it's the "enthusiasts" choice.

    But give me a leather interior any day. Much nicer.

    I like the Alcantra feel and look personally , mostly because it stops all of the glare so that there are no distractions when you're trying hard .... I suffer boredom going down the straights and start looking around the cockpit :)

    I'd like to put Alcantra through Satan just to give it a refresh

    Fair enough. I can't explain why, but to me it cheapens the look of the interior. I'd never pay a premium for a car with it.
    In fact it would be a turn off, unless it was something like an F40.

    You do realise that if your car wasn't limited to 5000rpm you'd find the straights much more exciting...

    While I was high as a kite in hospital last night I did have a look on carsales and saw not one 458 for sale!
    Or maybe it was no 458 Spiders. Not shore, but it’s been a long time since numbers have been anything like that.

    I suspect it's because I'm beginning to look more seriously at 458/488 (gunna).
    They are now guaranteed to become harder to find and go up in price by at least 50%

    No, Gizz. I’ve only just made this decision. I’ll enjoy this summer / autumn with it, fix up the last little few things to make it perfect and then put it out there to see what I might get. I’ll have had it for ten years then. I absolutely love it, but I now want something more modern.
    If I can get a decent price for it I’ve got a couple of things I want to do with the money so will probably be without a Ferrari for 12 months or so, but would jump back in with a 458 / 488.

    That’s the plan anyway. We’ll see what happens! :)

    Breast implants are the most expensive part of gender transition. I hope it goes well for you :)

    Don’t get a Camry. You’re not old enough for that yet!

    I highly recommend a Golf R wagon. :D

    That procedure requires knowledge of two things you're not familiar with: a scalpel, and female anatomy.
