Argh, Easter Weekend, I've just taxed the F430 (2009 F1 Spyder) and now it won't ruddy start - the first time ever this has happened. Here's some back story: The car is stored offsite and had been left for 4-5 weeks with no trickle charger attached. When I started it, some of the dashboard...

Does anyone know when HR Owen Berkeley Square will be open for business? I'd quite like an invite to the opening shindig TBH

Hi, I'm looking again for a Capristo exhaust bracket after a previous seller pulled out on me. New or used I don't mind so long as it's in good serviceable condition. Many thanks.

I had an 'interesting' journey home last night; the battery light on my 550 was flashing on & off which is pretty unusual but made a welcome to change to the regular 'Slow Down' warning. It seemed at first that if I kept to 3k revs / 70mph it was ok for a couple of minutes but then the flashing...

So we're now in to 2019 and I'm still dreaming of a California T. It would make sense for me to sell one or both of my cars to buy one; it'd sort my storage problems out and free up some cash, but is selling an F430 Spyder and/or a 550 Maranello for a California T the right trade? I mean...

My 550 wouldn't start [again] Saturday so I called The AA and booked the fitting of a new battery for Sunday morning, stressing that a performance car would need a suitable battery. The fitter was prompt and, after having to move the expansion tank out of the way, soon had the old battery out ...

I've always used RH Specialist Insurance and have been happy with the price & service. I'm in no way affiliated but I do appear on their website!

Any opinions on which are the best wheels you've seen on a California T? I've started to look at these cars again and one in particular has come up but has basic pauper-spec wheels (IMO). Any thoughts?

I've left this too late but I'm after some fitted luggage for a 430. The Hillsalive set I have for the 550 has been perfect so I'm after a similar set for my '09 F430 Spyder. It looks like Hillsalive no longer supply direct to the public but I have seen them on morethanpolish or cheaper on...

I'm getting ever closer to full re-spray time on my 1997 Grigio Titanio 550 Maranello and I'm considering replacing all the glasswork (except the windscreen which looks fairly new and has very little road-rash or scratching) I've just priced up on Eurospares the glass and gaskets etc and I'm...

I'm just after some buying advice please for the F430 Spyder - early versus late model Currently on my radar is a 2006 model, but some owners have said do not buy pre-2008 Are the early models really that bad / different / to be avoided ? I appreciate this may put the cat among the pigeons...

I’m looking to buy an F430 Spyder, focusing on later models with mileage in the teens and [ideally] the following spec: Exterior – Black Interior – Cream Dash – Yellow & Carbon Wheels – Standard 2x5 Spoke in Silver Brakes – Standard or CCB Brake Calipers – Yellow I’d pay a little more for...

It's the FOC GB AGM this weekend, is anyone going? Has anyone posed any questions they'd like raised on the day? (I'm not volunteering BTW!)

Has anyone heard of SBD Porsche in London? Are they any good? 41 Google Reviewers have marked them as 5-Stars which I find more suspicious than reassuring! Thanks.
