    ordered my 430

    after long and hard time for deciding...between the gallardo and 430, I finally ordered a 430 daytona black... and manual gearbox.....
    I drove both... and I like both. Both are great cars... is impossible for me to decide which one is the best car... more cart feeling fot the g., and more exiting conventional sportcar feeling the 430.

    The F430 is indeed exciting!
    Cheers

    Re: ordered my 430

    Bravoooo!!

    Re: ordered my 430

    Congratulations Alex.. And with a manual gearbox I think you'll enjoy it even more.

    Re: ordered my 430

    What is the lead time in your neck of the woods? Japan is down to 16 months now.

    Re: ordered my 430

    normaly 12-15 momths... with special contacts' 10..... ciao

    Re: ordered my 430

    Both great cars and good choice!

    BTW, the wait time from a factory accepted order to delivery is usually four months in the US. In Italy it would be considerably shorter.

    Re: ordered my 430

    Congrats Alexis! Hope the wait will feel short!

    Well, it is kind of like Timbuktu. It's small and nobody quite knows which continent to put it on .

    'Is', not 'was' , she is 88 years old but still is strong and healthy. She still drives a car. Uses her bicycle everyday. Slovenians are a tough breed and since I look a lot like her I hope to do as she.
    BTW , we still have many relatives in Slovenia but unfortunately I do not speak the language. However, I have fond memories of Slovenia from when I was a kid.

    Dealers are experiencing problems reselling Ferrai's that are manual.

    I know it is difficult for traditionalist to accept the fact that manual is old, ineffective and uncomfortable technology. One must look ahead and not live in the past.

    Re: ordered my 430

    One should never buy a car thinking how much its worth when its time to sell it (unless its an investment).. Also one should not deprive himself from experiencing the enjoyment of a manual gearbox specially with a super car.

    That's not all I'm waiting for But I'm not all that worried about the arrival of the Spider - who knows, will probably be next year!

    I heard Slovenia has very beautiful women

    I know where Timbuktu is (suppose living in Africa helps) - it's in Mali, Africa.

    Yeah, the women are quite beautiful. One of the better reasons to stay .

    Might as well admit my location: it's Irian-Jaya .
