Here is a picture of my titanium beast. I took delivery over a week ago and often it is still like seeing the car for the first time. Pictures don't do the car justice. Light plays on the silver forms and angles creating beautiful effects.
Beautifull car and fantastic land

Re: POst f430 pics here
Very nice! Quite similar to my July production 430 coupe, except I went with yellow calipers. I much prefer the Challenge wheels, the stock ones are fine but I feel like I see them (or a very similar design) on many, many other cars out there. I seriously considered black interior but finally went with Bordeaux.

thanks for the pics easyrider! i'm totally crazy about the black interior/red stitching in picture 1! I think i'm going to change my order to that exact same finishing!
Mike,
That's the combo I have now in my Ferrari CS. It's the way I'm ordering my next F-Car. Not so great in a Porsche but in an F-Car it's my favorite.
Re: POst f430 pics here
Nick,
Thanks for the feedback on my car.
Drive? Alas, I have been cursed from DAY 1 with the "N" word. I believe it is the same problem that zzboba reported here three weeks ago. . . . the F1 shifts into Neutral rather than upshifts, when the car is up to temp and I shift at higher RPM's. It has happened in Auto mode too. One time it even went to N instead of downshifting. A couple times (trying to get home) the car even stalled and would not start until after several minute rests.
No problems when the car is warming up and I keep RPM's lower.
I quit trying to isolate the problem and quit driving when I twice noticed a pool of red fluid under the right rear defuser after the car had stopped. (See my reply to Gauss, just before this, and the 2nd and 3rd from last of his pix. I don't know if his car is droping fluid, but mine has, probably a good quart of what looks like e-diff and / or gearbox fluid). My factory contact believes the "N" problem is fixed by replacing a defective electronic valve for the e- diff/ gearbox. And that is what zzboba's dealer did to fix his car. He did not report fluid loss. My car is in for repair.

yes, that's the cause as i was told. a valve from the E-diff was malfunctioning -- and since E-diff and gear box are nearly one unit, this defect valve affects the shifting somehow.
it took nearly three weeks to get the spare part from maranello, but my car is fixed now and everything seems fine (although i didn't perform any high-revving testing on the autobahn yet
)from what i've heard between the lines, this E-diff valve doesn't like heavy rain/wet conditions too much (so no need to worry about your F430, nick
)btw: awesome car, yavapai. excellent color choice

This is what I hate about new cars or new developments: there are too many bugs they have to fix. It's a shame, now that the F1 is superb and works faultlessly, they are getting problems with the new E-diff. Crazy.
And it simply can't be, that you are not allowed to drive in the wet, Ferrari should change that problem quickly!

Rossi,
Are you getting a 430 ? If so, about when ?
Hopefully this problem will be fixed for all cars leaving the factory.

That's why I love the Gallardo more than the F430 : no e-diff, just old school double wishbone suspensions all around..
What is the market like for the Gallardo now ? Last time I was at a dealer they were willing to knock $10k off the msrp. What do used ones go for vs. new ?
(I'm not trying to knock the car, I think it's a great machine I'm just curious)

I still have a couple of months, after some trouble with my dealer (couldn't get it right, so I decided for MY06).
I really hope all bugs will be fixed until then.
