Pickup from Brum probably around 1pm so will be around you maybe 4pm? Would be great to catch up.

May be able to make it work....Will see if I can get away from work ..... Although you'll drive right past my work as I'm in Gloucester .... 1 mile off junction 11a on M5. Will let you know if I can get home in time. As you say it would be great to meet.

Certainly looks fast and I hope you enjoy Iain. A bit too Battleship Gallactica inside for me though. I must be getting old.

Luckily I don’t have that type of cash, otherwise I’d never be able to pick a car ....for fun.

I loved that show!
I do need the carbon and red stitching and Yellow for me personally. I am not sure about the red seatbelts yet but it’s very ferrari.
I can understand how it wouldn’t be to everyone’s tastes.

Maybe it's an age thing. I always wanted a red one, but when I could actually manage, it was Blue or Black I wanted.

I agree. I think a Red Ferrari is just that bit 'too' much, if you want to use it more than once a year. Black, Grey and Blue are a bit more under that radar. If that is possible with a 458 or 430...

I'd have a metallic dark grey Strad or any Ferrari in the same colour. You can certainly get the 430 in that colour. Voicey has one doesn't he?

Think I agree...The standard flat Ferari red isn't that nice. I think your black really suits the 458. Much better and something menicing about it. I like.

Thanks Andy. I agree re the flat red- there is a nicer deep red- but that’s rare as hens teeth on a 458... my wife likes that and gun metal grey so it would have been a safer bet. For me it has to be black with yellow accents. I couldn’t help it. I will try and break the trend in the next car in 2019...

Maybe. But I would like my first one to be red. But that's not to say I would discount other colours. The Blue they do the 430 in is gorgeous.
