I absolutely loved it, such a great car, electrical gremlins aside. Best V8 sound ever (sport exhaust option), wife never really cared for it, do not know why.

So I have been contemplating what to move on/in to.. Had my mind set on a Ferrari F430 low mileage, had found one, but then a good looking F430 Spider appeared, also black… Now the price started rising. So went to the dealer, and ending up signing for a 458 Italia 2011 Black w 11000 km…

Wife is going to kill me when she comes home from vacation, the son will love me..  Will pick the car up Friday. Cant wait..

Guys, I want to thank you all, really great forum, have learnt so much and always positive feedback, really appreciated.. Best of luck to all of you…

This is my other favorite car...but the one I couldn't afford to track. Will it be replacing your Type R for track duty? Maybe once in a while?

Wonderful to be able to sample many great cars. Good luck and enjoy!

So I guess I am back to driving outdoor gocarts.. Huge outdoor track just around the corner..

And, yes, it is such a joy to be able to sample so many cars.. But I will not be driving this 458 on track, the skid pad for sure, but no real track action..... for now.....
