Sorry not sure what happened there... just shocked to see a motor like that around my neck of the woods... amazing vehicle, the sound, the look (of the car)..

the 430 you saw was probably wearing CS wheels. they are available on the F430 as an option (i think) i don't think there will be a CS version of the 430 for a little while yet!

Since moving to central London, I must admit that I forget how rare and special these cars are sometimes - back to reality when I see my friends in Peterborough and they gawp at a 911

I agree re: central London - unfortunately it takes the edge of gorgeous cars.

I live in Chelsea and parked my Aston AMV8 on the Old Brompton Road last week... when I returned, coincidentally there was a Gallardo parked in front, a 430 Spider parked behind and a 612 parked behind that.

Even 9 year-olds passing by didn't bat an eyelid...

P.S. I wasn't parked right outside either the Lamorghini or the Ferrari dealerships on the Old Brompton Road before anyone asks!

i went to london on the weekend and saw 2 f430 spiders, both in black parked side by side, then a mclaren slr just parked on the road, i parked my car in front of a gemalla 650 slr porsche cayenne with all these crappy scoops on the front, and nobody looks at these cars . I went to an underground car park and asked the attendants if i could look around the car park, they thought i was a professional car thief, and they thought i was weird looking at the cars, but in the car park was another enzo with arab number plates, a murcilago roadster, and a diablo vtt, with 6 exhaust pipes coming out! it made my porsche look like a crappy mondeo or something

355/360/430/550/612 common as muck around London.

Only ever saw one 348 though. In fact, seen more F50's than 348's.

WRN I see from you rprofile that your AMV8 has some 'reliability issues'. What problems have you had?
