430 - Pick it up next weekend

[Jonny5]

Picking up a lhd yellow 430 next weekend, has nearly every extra including shields, ceramic brakes, f1, sport
seats, harnesses, challenge wheels - very much like the one at Joe Macaris which was sold.

Difference being - only a modest premium, nothing like the premiums some importers are after

Sounds exciting. Would be very interested to hear how the driving experience compares with a 360 Challenge Stradale if anyone can comment...

saw one last night, all I can say is you lucky lucky man.

I'm buying it completely blind, having never driver one.

Also haven't driven a 360CS, but am led to believe the 430 is like a 360CS but with a comfort pack

I doubt very much you're going to be disappointed... and even if you are, I'm sure there'll be a long list of buyers waiting.

Nice one Jonny, all you need to do now is bring it on the Sunday run and get some photo's done of it ;o) Oh hang on, I might just know the person....

Congrats...

Did you have second thoughts about the zonda then ?

Once again, concratulations on the F430 and happy driving.

Regards,

Louis

Ciao

Couldn't justify the cost of the Zonda and potential difficulty in resale.

nick: Sold the Gallardo i'm afraid

Will definately have the car out and about, full report to follow

Awesome Jonny!

I see you have found a novel way around the c-charge and scameras as well

Who said that driving a 430 is like driving a 360cs with a comfort pack?
Actually your not far wrong, As soon as our demo arrived(i work at a dealer/workshop side) i had to have a go and nothing compares to it, absolutely bloody awesome! the 360cs is a fantastic car but the 430 makes it look and feel tame, within 5 minutes of driving you feel supremely confident in the car abilty and handling.
Someone once said to be its just an updated 360 and i could have slapped them (obviously someone who hasnt driven one) one you have youll never go back! enjoy!

Fantastic purchase Johnny 5. Nice list of previously owned too.
Happy motoring.
