Thought I'd put up a few pictures up seeing as I'd mentioned it in my Corsa thread! Sadly it's my dad's and not mine but that doesn't matter, it's still great fun as a passenger!

It's all totally standard apart from the Tubi exhaust, which sounds very nice in comparison with the standard setup.

That is an amazing car. The F430 is still my favourite modern Ferrari by miles - I'd take an F430 Scuderia before pretty much any other Ferrari.

Lovely looking car, manual shift as well, I sometimes wish my scud had a manual box.

you can get a good F430 for around £70-80k

the running and servicing costs combined with depreciation sound terrifying though

Fantastic looking car! The mid engined V8 Ferrari's are always a bit of a slow burn with me. Definitely appreciate their styling more as the years tick past...

I see it has got a proper gearbox....

That beautiful slotted gate with that amazing gear lever. Surely that's what all Ferrari's should have?

Makes a great car even better by the speccing of that gearbox.

I normally prefer a manual in sports cars, but in cars like this I actually prefer the F1 'box. Just me?!

I like the F430 though. thumbup

IMO fair play to the OP for saying it's his dads (lush) car - loads have claimed "dad's fezza" as their own.
I've not internet stalked, but as long as that corsa doesn't have a 2010's era less tateless version of a dimma kit, this bloke will fit in here =)

Looks beautiful.

Does anyone else think the front wheel in photo 3 looks a bit odd? Bit small, not wide enough, almost lost in the arch. I know it's how they are, looks a bit of an odd design.

yes The 'clack' as the next ratio is engaged is just awesome, a part of the Ferrari experience which appears to be lost to the sands of time for shame.
