    Lovely car drdre. Any chance you can convince your dad's friend you can take it for a spin? :D

    I'm not too impressed with the reg tweak tbh. A plain 07-D-430 would be more classy. That 7 doubling as an F is a bit boy racer imho

    I have already driven a f430,lambo,bentley and a m5 in the uk. All these and im only 22.Now thats a dream come true.My cousin's own these in the uk i had pics up already in the heres what i saw thread.
    I donot think my dads friend will let me drive hi f430 as its his baby.:)

    TheF doesnt look boyracer i think it looks class.Also the reg really makes the car stand out.

    I agree it does. It makes the car unique and instantly recognisable. It's just something I would not do :)

    Does the fact that its a black '07 Ferrari in Ireland not make it stand out enough already? :D

    I agree with Unkel, the 7/F in the reg looks a bit skanky.

    I'd have to second that, it makes it look as though the driver craves every last ounce of attention. Super car, all the same.:)

    See that's the problem, anything that is "class" "unreal" or "deadly" is very boyracer. :)

    TBH, I don't the the 7 looks anything like an F, it looks like a crooked 7. What ever floats your boat I suppose. Lovely car though.

    Yeah you said it whatever floats the boat,As everyones choices are different and he might like that.I think it looks nice but it would still look class with just the 7:D

    Does your dads friend know you posted his car and reg number on an open forum??? Not smart imho! Wouldnt do it with a 5k car never mind a 2-300k one!

    Reg looks tack-tastic, but his car not mine. Presonalised reg's only look good if they are simply the model number or of they have a UK reg!

    Yep he knows about it, whats the problem with posting a car picture online.He has enough security features on it to steer theif's away from it. :)
    I donot think its a big issue posting up pictures online.

    Putting number plates on pictures online is generally not a good idea - the reg could be used to make a stolen clone for example - though I can't see importing a stolen ferrari into Ireland being that commonplace, or easy...

    No body is going to clone a plate on a ferrari as theres only around 10 f430's in ireland.But yeah you are right it doe happen in ireland.

    Im sure he gave you the thumbs up at 00:19 as you posted it! lol! :rolleyes:

    My concerns were as said above! Wouldnt post my reg up knowingly or anyone elses i know! If somebody wanted it, no matter what security a car has, they'd get it! It only takes 2 mins to blur a reg mate!

    ooh the naiveity, do you really believe that if someone really wanted to steal it they wouldn't take it?:rolleyes: for every advance in car security, there is a way around or passed it for criminals
    that said I hope he never has the misfortune of it happening

    Wow what a line-up of Ferrari's.....

    reminds me of my greatest moment on the road, when i overtook 2 355s, a testarossa, and 2 911s all kitted out for the track (racing decals etc),
    and me in a humble golf VR6... ok, so they were in convoy slowing down to pull into a petrol station, but i got to overtake 'em all ;)
    this was driving thru belgium a good few years back, no doubt they were on their way to Spa for a track day, but still....

    Man the only way it can be robbed is if its put on a truck and taken away.Its got afew k worth of security.it can even be driven very far as its got tracker systems and other gadgets.I know what they are but not going to mention them.And good luck to anyone that wants to rob it as he/she wonot get far and it will be a waste of time :)
