THE perfect spec to my eyes. Well done. She is a beauty.

I drove a hire car in that spec for a long weekend back in November. It was a fantastic experience, not the best commuter car for central London though.

Enjoy it.

It was resolved to my satisfaction and a brand new clutch. Now only have to wait through the 7 sleeps until I can collect it......

That is absolutely gorgeous. You must be picking it up tomorrow?

Hopefully the weekend weather is nice.

I also moved from a tvr to an f430, although mine was a very special Cerbera

Anyhow, different league is all I will say! enjoy

So what do you reckon then....?

The first Crema interior I have liked, the red stitching really completes it.

[GG33]

Absolutely awesome. Surprising how comfortable and easy to drive at 'normal speed' and how rapid when you give it some beans (and I've only given it a small portion so far). Absolutely delighted I chose it over the Aston, even though a V12V appeared on the radar at the 11th hour and 59th minute. It,s almost show standard and I'm going to love keeping it that way.

I found that when I had the hire car, drove it in Central London loads and was really surprised at how well behaved it was in traffic. Pretty easy to reverse park too as the mirrors are decent.

Enjoy the polishing but don't forget that it's primary purpose is to put a massive smile on your face. ;-)
