Brilliant, can't wait

I could've saved money and bought a 360 Spider, but with cambelts to change (the f430 is chain driven so doesn't need belts), possible problems with fledgling F1 boxes, etc... I just didn't see the point. And, the F430 is, IMO, a much nicer looking car.

Thanks.


Here's a pic of what the car achieved today. Carter (my son, 7) is quite a sensitive and mature little boy and we have a great time doing nothing and chilling out on most occasions. However, when the occasion suits (as it most certainly did today), the surprises I have in store are usually quite epic! This was taken 2 minutes after he'd seen the car for the first time. Daddy did good, apparently . Excuse the hats.

Perfect picture - says it all

Good to hear that Gary was on hand to help.

Gary - Bet you didn't need much arm twisting......

None whatsoever
It was great fun helping spring the big surprise for Carter and I'm sure Graham got more pleasure from Carter's excitement than he did from the car itself today.
Carter and Graham are both lucky lads
