Serg, I was going to come over and say hello, but you'd just put money in the system! It wasn't me in the red one though. I think I've seen you there before so we'll likely meet again.

Funny about the red f430, do all Ferrari owners wear caps and glasses?

It occurred to me to come over and help you dry your car with my fresh new towels, but I was shy! LOL, maybe next time . Btw I go round the corner to the truck wash bit to avoid the spray from the other guys washing, depending on wind direction.

Had a chance to drive a f430 two weeks ago at East Fortune with ExperienceLimits, the queue for that was too big so I opted for R8, GT3 and Elise Race car. Wish I had waited for the f430 with F1 shift, coz my boring "instructor" kept her hand on the gearnob in 3rd the whole time.... grrrr.

There is a couple of me in the GT3, GF arrived later. I was not in the mood for photos because I was rather disappointed that what they meant by "East Fortune" was actually a bit of disused runway and some cones, instead of the proper race track just on the other side of the trees... double grrrrr...

Damn I'm slow today... the R8's nob! She robbed me of the climax. The "instructors" in the GT3 and elise race car were awesome though and somewhat made up for the other disappointment... no no thats not what I mean...

One thing that was very noticeable was how the F430 sounds so much better than anything else there.

Maranello's car of the week - FROM THE DARK SIDE

997 C4S Cab Tiptronic.

At least it is the correct colour.

Half as cool and and a porker, no matter how good, is nowhere near as special as Fezza.

IMO!
