    Mike, you have a nice balance between your cars. The 997S cab augments the 430 well. Enjoy them and continue to live BIG!

    Thanks for the reply Mike. You are absolutely correct about the 430, those Ferraris are a real work of art! Music, sculpture, and engineering that would make the Romans envious

    Thanks Gary! I didn't bother to ask the guy when I picked up the car lol! By the way, would you mind me asking what is the mileage on your 430 so far? I think I've driven my 430 more this weekend than most do in a months...

    Re: For a long drive this Saturday (F430, 997 C2S Cab & Vipe

    Hi BC999J,

    I have been thinking about the 997 GT3, the 996 GT3 doesn't do it for me IMO. It was just short of that extra bit of power which the 997 now has

    I would only get the GT3 if I was to sell the Noble, no point of having 2 track toys, I can only go to the track so much. I also don't want to own 3 Porsches, I like variety, 2 is the most I will buy from a single marque.

    I was refering to the 997 Model... I'm considering upgrading myself although not anytime soon though . Have to see how the finances work out and all that jazz ...

    Your new Ferrari is awesome Mike ... Sounds cool too but I just cannot see myself buying a Ferrari. Only Ferrari I'd consider getting is a 575 or 599.

    Your have an AWESOME car nonetheless

    I'm sure you're right! We've had like two solid months of rain here in the Bay Area, and I only have 2000 mi on the car after 6 months of ownership.

    I have 2700 miles and I took delivery Dec. 3, 2005. The newer Ferrari's are meant to be driven. Do not deprive yourself.

    Mike, at least for me, it really is hard to turn the ignition off. As Gary indicated, our weather in CA has not been the best for spirited driving or runs to Starbucks.

    It's not so very hard really, Nick.

    Just try to remember: Off is anticlockwise.

    LOL! I remember when you got your F430 coupe, the first photos you posted of it was in front of the Starbucks

    Speaking of which, do you have any new pictures of your Spider nick? I would love to see a photo of that car with some scenic backgrounds(other than Starbucks' entrance )

    That would be great Nick. Although I did see a yellow one on the way to Key Biscayne the other day, I don't see many of those spiders around here.

    Amazing pics. You're right, the contrast between the African cenery and the red beauty is just wonderful.
    The color Combo on the 997 Cab is the best, those beige interiors combined with the exterior black is to die for.

    Great cars you have their, and good taste too have fun with them and post as much pics as you can
