cheers for the kind words chaps,it appears i'm in the majority where i prefer a ball on a stick to video game-esque flappy jobs!

benjy....uncanny! what are the odds of me and your old man going silver then rosso??as for flappy paddles....i'm a nostalgic,spit and sawdust type of fella so ball on a stick was the only option for me once again.


as for it being the last donkey with a manual box......i have heard rumours that there are literally one or two californias around with a manual box but they were special factory orders,not official cars

didn't realize they were the last manual Ferrari's. Lovely car and excellent choice, moreover due said manual. Love it being in the typical red and creme color scheme. Personally I liike the styling of the 430 more than the 458, somehow more square and masculin.

Which makes me think, being one of the last manual Ferrari's (within the last 1%?), in the desired colour scheme... I can only see this appreciate? Hold on tight!

i think,certainly in the mid to long term,you're bang on the money there.as is evident in this thread and my other one in the ferrari section there are A LOT of people who love a rosso/crema manual 430!!

i think 1 in 10 430's were manual so not exactly a common sight on british roads i would think!
