Not a bad little run around for a science teacher.

Makes a change most of my old science teachers were poor alcoholics on the verge of a breakdown

I bought the car in Nov. from Top 555 at Oakham, 2010 car but only done 9,000 miles. Looked at several cars but most that were in budget were a bit rough! It's LHD as that also brought the price down to a more acceptable level. I'd had quite a lot of experience driving 458s as I work for a Supercar Experience company that uses the 458 on track and the exhaust sound and stunning lines were major factors in buying one.
After I'd got the car I contacted Steve Bisel in the States who manufactures an exhaust valve controller which allows you to open the valve in the exhaust system from an electronic key fob in the car, this improves the exhaust note considerably. I also looked at buying a carbon fibre airbox to improve the engine bay but most were about £1600, in the end I got an aqua dipping company called Garnish based in Exeter to carbon dip the airbox which turned out really well,( and was a fifth of the price).
