Re: Can I join the club?
I suck at keeping secrets, so here it is. The car has 300km's on the odometer, basically brand new. It is one of six F430 coupe's in the country currently.
The only one in this colour, not sure what the exact name is though, it is slightly lighter than rosso corso - very bright in the sun, personally I like it more than the standard red.
It has the sports seats with rollbar (covered up in leather). Interior leather is cream with red stitching, dashboard is black. The rev gauge is red and the carpets are bordeax. The car has carbon ceramic brakes (one of 2 F430's with this option
) CF inserts on the interior and the Ferrari badge on the fenders. I can't remember what other options this car has but I'll post them as they come to mind.

Well guys, I pulled the trigger. Picked up an 06 F430 Coupe today, will take delivery tomorrow
Gotta get the suspense going haha!
I can't tell from the picture but Ferrari has a new color red which the CEO wanted. I believe it is called Monza.
Have you driven an F1 before?

Oh, forgot to mention, the car has F1 transmission. Drove the old 360's with F1 and the difference is huge! I can't wait, still not sure about the colour though. Will take some shots in the sun just so you can verify properly.

You seem to have to much money in your hans, care to share with me?
I love the interior. It looks a lot lighter than tan or sand beige. what color is it? And ir works pretty well with the red carpets.
I thought you were going for a spider to enjoy the beautiful weather you got in SA.
Congrats & Enjoy your new baby!!!
Mike, if you go on like this, it will be faster to tell people wich cars you don't own than to make a list of those you have in your garage.
Do all your cars fit in the garage anyway?

Sorry, I have no clue what colour the leather is, I didn't order this car, it was brought in by another dealer fully specced, hence the premium.
I still have my F430 spider on order from the Ferrari dealer, but who knows when that will arrive and I decided I'm not waiting for them. I can't cancel the order or I'll lose my deposit, so I decided to go on ahead and get the coupe. I test drove the 06 Gallardo that morning as well before I made my descision, the F430 is a much much better car.
