Great gal, great car.

Onno

P.S. Andrew - can you do something about these annoying thread prefixes? They serve no purpose and they're out of date.

That's exactly how I feel just driving down to the local market for a carton of milk!

Bummer she dislikes her job so much.

There is a new glass monochromatic top option - like the OTO.

The new sound from the upgraded exhaust sounds great

Review by Auto Express : ''rather than do a normal review, our film team captured the spirit of the car with this self-indulgent video.''

The December issue of UK Top Gear magazine.

As automotive objects of desire go, it’s hard to think of any car more likely to elicit the fizz – as James would put it – than the new Ferrari 458 Spider, preloaded with the requisite blonde. We send Tom Ford off to live the (annoyingly perfect) Italian petrolhead dream for our cover story.

Another example? In the UK, flashing blue lights in your mirror tend to be attached to a Volvo estate, but Italy opts for something a little more rakish. We dispatch Sam Philip to the passenger seat of a Carabinieri Lotus Evora S in Rome to track down Tom and his beautiful accomplice.

It’s the world’s most stylish police chase.

"our film team captured the spirit of the car with this self-indulgent video.''

I don't think I've ever "seen" a better review.

Thanx, Mike430. That is a refreshing review and I liked it very much. This looks like a wonderful Ferrari to have. Tempting, if I make the best use of it. Thanx. w/ smiles Jimmy
