    If you want, you can invite me over...

    If you're getting the F430, than go for the SL65. You're not gonna have the 360 and 430 at the same time. It's like a portfolio, you got to diversify.

    So you've got a 997s convertible, a SL55 (soon a SL65 and you're gonna get the F430. I'm so jalous...

    Mike, What about these colors for the F430 spider? [image]

    my 430 is the traditional red rosso corsa(i think that's the name of the colour, don't want a ferrari in any other colour) and it has the same black interior with the red stitching in your 1st picture of the f430 with the carbon fibre interior

    i'm just waiting for delivery of the f430 spider ha but the dealer says only next year things work slow here in SA, but i thought i might as well change my 55 after i saw the 65

    Re: One very happy man ;)

    It would have definitly been cheaper to just change the "5" to a "6" ( probably $6 instead of the $140.000)

    Are you married? If so does she knows wbout cars? I'm mentionning it because if she does not, she's going to wonder where the 140K went. As you said, you can barely see the difference.

    Mike, Congrats on your new car! I love the rims. Are they paint in body color?
