It's a great thread from start to finish. As many say on the thread the op doesn't sugar coat the cars design failures / successes because he has one but is honest about the good and bad points.
Where else will I ever see the oily bits of a 430 as well!
V-e-r-y interesting. I knew that Fezzas are not daily drives, and that running costs are high, but that comment about some guys "mint low mileage" 430 costing him 8k in "maintenance" in 18months ... f kin' 'ell.
Edit: I just read the bit about the clear lack of maintenance on an apparent full fezza service history. I never really hankered after a Ferrari & I sure as hell don't now. O_O
