    Ferrari lovers, its your big day.
    Ferrari has just revealed a convertible version of its 458 Italia and it's got a tin top for a change!
    And this is what it looks like:

    Cool. Off topic, how's your Puma?

    Its running fine, thanks for asking.
    Drove around 700miles in it last month on a weekend trip to Kerry and didn't give a single problem throughout. Its just around 400miles short of hitting the 80k miles mark (was around 69k miles when I got it last year). I'ld say it should be good for another 10k miles easily. So as it keeps going longer without disintegration, I'm pretty pleased with it. I didn't think it'ld last this long when I first got it but the little Puma keeps going.

    Only problem is you've got to start it atleast once a week or something drains out the battery so if you don't start the car in a week, the battery goes completely flat and you'll then need to jump start it. Its pretty much its only problem. Also got to keep topping up the oil every 700-800 miles. Which is an improvement cuz before it used to run out of oil after just 500-600miles. Maybe the cheap Halfords oil is doing the trick!

    Looks good
    I wonder how many of them will caught fire though...

    I'd buy that one, much quicker to get out when it catches on fire.

    Another poser mobile imo. And you can no longer see the V8 through a glass screen!!

    The hard top on the other hand is sublime. By far the best car I've ever had the pleasure to drive.

    I have to agree, im not a fan of it. Much prefer the regular 458.

    So silly to put a heavy metal roof on what is supposed to be a performance car.

    Its only 50kg heavier than the coupé not too much of a compromise.
