After recently selling my beloved Aston Martin Vantage that I had owned for the previous two years (mainly because it wasn't being used) - I began to get the Ferrari itch that had to be scratched! So a week before Christmas a lifelong dream became a reality and I had a 458 Italia on the drive and I'm absolutely over the moon! smile

What a fabulous machine and just in a completely different league to the Vantage

What a beauty. It looks stunning.
PS. I have a severe case of garage envy. Spotless and with spotlights in the roof. I like your style!

Haha - thanks for the great coments guys, very much appreciated!

To be honest the garage isn't always that tidy - but I try to keep it clean!

Also I fitted a remote bypass controller for the exhaust valves from the states - brilliant mod and quite easy to fit! I can hear that v8 purr even at low revs now tongue out

Looks like a very nice spec...carbon wheel centre caps being a rare option.

Enjoy every mile.

Congratulations!

For mw - its about the thrill of the chase so.....

Next swap the Tricolore for a Desmosedici - and it looks like you have room for another car - a Lamborghini V12 will scratch that itch for you in a way that no Ferrari can ever!

Enjoy!

I always say coving helps finish a room off, but first time I've seen it in a garage!
Sharing the joy as my 458 Italia was delivered yesterday (bye bye 430)... Off to take some pics and to tidy the garage.....where's that coving cement!

The Forza Componenti one? Yes I fitted one to my F430 yesterday. Will be heading down to the Brooklands Museum New Year's Day meet tomorrow to try it out.

Congrats on the new ride. The 458 looks great in white.
