F430
Re: F430
didnt for me! Had just picked the f*cker up from the garage as well! 
Its now back there thanks to the AA. They were superb, as were the police and the road sign traffic incident blokes. Fortunately I avoided making the traffic news!!
Car suddenly wouldnt get a gear, and up the hill i coasted willing the f*cker towards the chevrons on the entrance slip road, as there is no hard shoulder. A friendly plod in an unmarked Disco put his lights on and jumped out to help me push it out of the inside lane, and on to the chevrons between entry sliproad & 2 lanes of bypass. 40 minutes later, and thanks to the AA actually accepting on the phone the car couldnt be started & needed a low loader I was on my way... the fact it was a Ferrari was definately helping, as i dont think they fancied trying to sort it!
The warning signs chaps arrived and did there best to try and protect me & the car, while sheilding it from rubber neckers as best they could, so it didnt cause utter chaos.
Hydraulic fluid from the Ediff/F1 shift system on the ground, and it had just had an e-diff soleniod replaced - so fingers crossed something simple!
Fortunately I didnt have to go with the car, and MarkM rescued me
Had just been enjoying the acoustic of that exhaust

Re: F430
Yeah hopefully not a big deal.
On the upside, it looks cracking and will no doubt be tearing the road up again in no time.
Actually just back from dinner with a pal with a 360. They really are awesome cars and I'm sure the odd wee niggle doesn't dampen the ownership too much!

Sounds like someone forgot to tighten something at the garage..... I suspect someone's something will be tightening at the garage today!

Is there anyone on this site who can give advice on either?

Andy,
I think you inadvertently called me from a phone in your pocket...I answered to the sound of thundering HGV's and maybe a rant at the AA.
I get that alot being the top of many peoples phone books.
