Annual sevice time - I decided to stick with Lovetts, they came down a little in price after forwarding them Carrs quote (Carrs still around £150-00 cheaper) but since I'm stamped up with DL since ownership, I've stayed with them.
Collected on their truck today, all being well I'm going to...
What are people paying?
Just got a quote from Lovetts for the first annual I have to pay for, seems expensive at £1200.
I did ask if there were any offers on labour rates, someone mentioned on here a new scheme ferrari have put in place 'specialista'?, but Lovetts said it only applies to 430...
I have 2 x front seats which I believe are from a Fiesta SI for sale if you are interested? I can arrange delivery. Good condition except for a small part of reclining wheel broken on one of the seats. e-mail: swnyradar@yahoo.co.uk

We're having a change this year - Geoff (ewolg) has kindly made up some stick on Vinyls for us:
A lack of maintenance jobs required on the 458 got my attention turned to finding something else to keep me in the garage over the winter, so decided to kill some dead space and add lots of extra house storage by filling one wall with cupboards.
I got the units from Argos and had my first go at...
Got around to fitting the forza exhaust valve controller over the New Year.
Some info. for anyone fitting to a 458 Italia -
I managed to do it without removing the rear bumper, by accessing the 2 x controlling solenoids by removing the air box cover and rear diffuser only (If you have very...
Don’t do facebook or the like, which I suppose is how most pass this message on these days, so wanted to give my season greetings to my CS buddies.

He's a 'bordernese' which is a border collie cross bernese mountain dog and is proving to be a lovely family dog.

Looking to fit titanium hex wheel bolts to the 458. Had them on the 430 and think they look ace. Should have swapped for standards before px:cry3:
