      Do both you soft cock

      I've driven a friend's F430. They're an amazingly normal car to drive. You could have one as a daily. Personally I would see if they have a convertible so you can hear the engine noise better.

        +1 F430

        Am I the only person that thinks the 458 is ugly? Just has no aggression in the styling, all curves and arty shit but nothing nasty i reckon

          I am concerned with the amount of lane changing, appearing to be without blinkers and without checking your blind spot - In that video.

          PS. Cunt....

          PPS. Did you hire that from the model, Ferrari shop just down from the museum ?

            I came here thinking you were buying a Ferrari - I'd buy the 458.

            Seems you're asking where to drive one, the obvious answer is through the hills

                  www.pushstart.it is the website. I believe it is next door to, or very close to the Galleria.

                  I tend to agree with the blokes telling me to take the 430 to the hills for an hour. And I really really like that idea. I just don't want to regret not driving the 458 is all. Lambo is very tempting, but I think I would regret not driving a Ferrari.

                    Scuderia or 458 in the mountains or get the fuck out.

                      An hour in the mountains without a doubt, ultimately its unlikely you'll get to drive either of them within an inch of their lives so I doubt the 458 experience will be that much better. As someone else said, one day a 458 will be old news too, take the option you'll have the most fun with.

                        PS I spent 45 minutes in the passenger seat of a 308GTB once. It was too cramped, and not shockingly fast, but its still one of the great automotive experiences of my life. Whichever you decide to do, it'll be fantastic.

                          Could you see through the windscreen? I'm 6ft and I look directly into the top screen frame. Very disappointing. My Magnum PI dreams were shattered

                            Anyone else amused by the fact that a website that rents Italian cars is called push start?

                            I wish I knew about this when I was in Italy earlier this year.

                            PS - both. You'll regret not doing it later.
