The highest price I've seen so far, in Europe. Nice car, asking price is a bit insane though. Then again, it might be correct in a couple of months.... FERRARI F40 F 40 ORIGINAL LOW MILEAGE SUPERCAR 1560 MILES FROM NEW | eBay Onno

I have been having a few problems with my 430. One that has always been there since I got it I have noticed allot of people have the same issue. Sometimes while shifting it will go into neutral or just skip from like 2 second to 5th. Sometime, I will even get stuck in neutral and cant go into first. I get the amber slow down at the same time. Seems to be worse on hotter days for some reason. Anyway, now today for some reason I noticed I smelled coolant, and I see it coming out of my car. Noticed it was running pretty hot. Not even a hot day. My car has had some Novitec upgrades, including cat bypass. So I know that is causing some issues, most likely thinking its overheating even though I don't even had cats. I am thinking maybe all the issues are connected but not sure. Ok here is the weird one though. I noticed some weird residue on one side of my engine. Looks almost like a buildup of fiberglass? Other side is perfectly clean, so is entire engine bay other than that one spot. Anyway, at the moment I am charging my battery all night. I will turn it off in the morning for 30 minutes and hopefully restart the system after I put in some new coolant. In case my cats or something else just caused some issues while I was racing my friends GTR the other day. I also noticed something unplugged, im thinking its something for the cat bypass, here is a pic. Anyone have any clues about any of my issues or pics? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi All - My shop used Valvoline (synth) 20w50 during my last fluid service a few weeks ago. After driving it 2,000 miles (not a typo) since the fluid service, I figured I better check to see if she had burned off a quart (or more). After a 30 minute drive, I checked the oil with the engine idling and I was very surprised to see the dipstick covered in coffee colored foam. :yikes: I normally use Redline (synth) 10w40 and the shop agreed to change the oil out to see if that cures the foaming. What causes the oil to foam? 1) Over-filling with engine oil. Possible (nobody's perfect). 2) Condensation from disuse. Not possible in my case. 3) Contaminants in the system. Possible. 4) Wrong engine oil weight/viscosity for the conditions. Possible. 5) Other? The first 3 I'm fairly certain of...it's #4 that I'm wondering about (hence the post). Could 20w50 be THAT different from 10w40 and cause foaming? PS Temps and pressures throughout the 2,000 miles were spot on. Car drove normally and did not seem to be down on power. Fingers crossed it wasn't 'foaming' the entire drive but I have no way of knowing for sure.

The first CEL gremlin has appeared on my 2003 360 spider 3 pedal. The slow down lights comes on inconsistently. I could drive for 40 minutes and not see it. Some rides it comes on, some rides not at all. It usually pops up in bumper to bumper traffic, idle, or when I pull into my driveway just before I turn it off (in neutral). If it does come on while I'm driving I just take up the revs and the speed and it goes off. It never stays on when I'm highway driving. It blinks but sometimes it flickers like a bad light bulb. The car runs great - no loss of power. The longest it has ever stayed on for is about 5 minutes. Maybe 3 or 4 miles. Could it be a loose ground wire? Why does it only appear when revs are low or when I'm in neutral or when I get home to my garage and start putting the top up? Why on some drives but not on others? Could it be a false positive? I'm taking it in this week but if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Father's Day - How appropriate: My daughter (18) was called into work early. Given she's 18, and work was supposed to be at 10:30am, she didn't wake up until 9:30, which is when the phone rang asking her to arrive at 10:00am. My wife is preparing for her Birthday party (today/tomorrow with 10-kids at our summer home) and Graduation Party (this coming Sunday). Needless to say, Father's Day was a quick "let's open gifts and get on with our days" kind of morning. That's was sort of OK with me, since I just got the F430 Spyder (2008) this past Tuesday, and Chicago weather has been quite rainy ever since. I'm a member at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL. It's a private club, much like a golf club, but with a 21-turn, 3.5mile road-course instead of links. I had no plans to visit on Father's Day, but opportunity knocked. Don't worry guys, it was merely a destination. I had/have no plans to track this car, not to mention 1-week after taking delivery of it. It's only about 35-miles to the track from my house, but with the top down, and the sun shining, it was glorious. I have owned a lot of sports cars, but this was a 'best' first drive, hands down. I've read here about the looks, stares and comments while driving our cars, and I take them all as complimentary. The drive to the track had plenty of those. It was the drive back that was surreal. I was at the track for about 2-hours, and just before leaving saw a buddy who lives in my neighborhood. He too was leaving, and his choice of car that day was a nearly identical 'Silverstone Grey' Audi R8. He hadn't seen, nor did he know I had bought the F430, so we had some time to go over the car before we both took off for home. The next 35-miles, with our two cars running tandem, lane changing, and weaving through light highway traffic was a blast. The 'thumbs up' were everywhere (no middle fingers), and the sounds our two cars were making was just music to my ears. Once we got off the expressway, and hit a few lights, the comments began. Mostly, "hey, nice car". There's one that stood out, and I was warned here on the forum. It's a first for me, but I chose to take the advice of someone here . . . "hey, what do you do for a living" was the question. I'm 47, and work my tail off everyday. I haven't taken off more than 5-days in a row in nearly 20-years, and will likely work until I'm 60+. I like what I do, but it's not a doctor, lawyer, or other profession that someone would recognize . . . so I lied . . . , I responded "I don't work anymore". The car full of 20-somethings laughed, said "awesome", and we drove off in separate directions. The F430 is back on the top spot of the lift in my home garage, and we're leaving for a couple of days to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday. I'm looking forward to my next drive, and expect it will be filled with similar experiences to share. Life is Grand!

Just got back from Paris after dropping my QP of for service and new tires. I saw one Ferrari the whole time I was there mostly just Peugot and Citroen which were boring. Finally saw a red 430 spider. I got back picked up my QP and saw a Mondial, 328, and 355 without the engine sitting in my mechanics shop (Josh ECS) I have been thinking about the 328, 348, 355 and Mondial. Dumping the QP opens up options like 550, 575, 360 even a Testarossa. But the QP is so practical! This is good indecisiveness with a tinge of agony. Comments?
