Hi all,
I've had a Porker Turbo now for just over a year and although i love it I do miss the drama of my old motor, Noble GTO-3. I think i've done one to many runs where Fezza's have been present as I've really got an F430 itch that i need to scratch. I've fallen in love with the looks and especially the sound
I've probably go about 12 mths before I'm ready to get serious about looking for the next car, but I can hear the PCP option calling and i think the F430 is the way I want to go. So for those that have any experience of this sexy machine, what's it like to live with? Does it feel quick over country roads and what's the reliability like?
My current car is a toy (Got a shed for the weekly drives) but still covers around 7k per year on Runs and weekend jaunts. Would the F430 be good for this sort of thing.
I know i've got a while before I look at buying but I always like to get everything straight in my head. My heart is saying F430 all the way so i don't think anything will put me off at the mo, lol.
Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,
I've had my 430 F1 for 9 months now and have covered 10k miles in it. I absolutely love it, it's the most amazing car I've ever owned. In the 9 months I've had it the only cost other than fuel has been that I had to replace the exhaust silencer which was pumping out white dust and wasn't covered under warranty, the cost 600 quid. I recently did a roadtrip to the Factory in Maranello and then down to Monaco and it was brilliant, didn't miss a beat, and I even hit 165Mph on the Autobahn or Awesomebahn as I like to call it now.
It's amazing on country roads, very very quick, amazing on any road in fact, drives nicely when tootling along and is amazing when pressing on.
Did I mention that I absolutely love it and it's amazing!
If you're interested you can check out my blog that's all about my experiences with the car

Hi Jim
I've got a 430 Spider, manual in grey with black. It's an 08 car with ceramics as well. I love it to pieces.
I haven't had any problems with it and I love everything about it, don't worry it's certainly not lacking grunt and is a very easy car to lve with. You could easily run it as a daily but it's more fun in my opinion to leave it for high days etc.
Good luck and happy hunting. Love the noble by the way, had one myself.

Thanks for the replies fellas's. Makes me want one even more!!!! Think i'm going to have to look at way of getting one sooner, lol. I agree with keeping it for the high day's as that's what I do now. To be honest I couldn't even consider it due to the area I work in. It would be keyed within 5 mins.
John that is a serious bit of blogging you've got going on. Fantastic little vid you've done. I've saved it to my fav's so thanks for sharing mate.
Thanks again
Jim
