Watching my F430 being driven away to be prep’d for sale, was quite emotional this morning. The car looked more appealing than ever; probably psychological knowing that I’ll not be driving it again, makes me want it more.

Not entirely sure why I’m selling. I need to move into something that I can take the family around it, for day trips and family visists etc, but I guess I’m just a bit miffed that I haven’t been using it much recently. So to spite myself, and teach me a lesson, I’m selling it.

Will perhaps look at getting a California. Test drove a 997 Turbo Cab and DB9 Volante recently, but I think I might just see out the winter and get back in the game in the spring.

A DB9 Volante could certainly soften the blow?!!?!?!?

I don't think any of these cars have rear seats big enough for humans. I parked my BMW 650i cab next to a California at Meridien the other day. My rear seats are cramped even for children, but they looked positively spacious compared to what the Cali had to offer. I have the same problem, but the only thing I've seen from Ferrari with rear legroom comes with a V12.

Get yourself a Granturismo S. I can attest that it will swallow 2 kids including baby and booster seats and will take a pram in the boot (a Bugaboo will fit) bits and bobs.

Sorry to hear the 430's going Ewan, you should get an XKR for the family runaround wink
