Did I see you yesterday driving out of Chelford after the hail storm?

If so looked stunning.
Yes, that was me. Not the best weather for my first drive but it didn't spoil anything! It was certainly everything i hoped it would be.

I remember seeing this at Stratstone last year, really cool it has got Vettel's signature on the sill and a very bright clean looking car, very well priced too due to lack of inertia seatbelts.

Lovely car sir!
Thank you, Yes, the seatbelts will take a bit of getting used to but they do make it more of an event. Stratstone were fantastic to work with, gave me a reasonable return on my 488 spider nd we closed the dea very quickly. I am from London so have never dealt with them before but i would certainly travel up to Manchester again to work with them again.

The signatures on the drives side are actually Seb Vettel and Charles Leclerc. I am a massive F1 fan so that is really special for me too.

Now my target is to make this the highest mile Pista in the country over the next few years!

Looks wonderful in that colour combo,You could say im a little bias,as mines Argento as well.(launch spec)

I must admit,personally, id rather have 4 points than the inertia belts in my car and im surprised to hear it reduces its desireability ,i thought it would have been the opposite.

I was at the launch, and i was blown away then. Ive been driving her all day today and i cant wait to take her out tomorrow. It still hasn’t sunk in that shes mine.

Anyone think these will reach the 458 Speciale desirability levels? I think they will do even though an F8 has the same amount of power the Pista has more of an event to it being a special run...
