Default Took a look @ a few exotics today

I stopped by my buddies Exotic Car dealership today. He currently has a 2001 Diablo 6.0 VT, 1998 Diablo Roadster, and a 2006 F430. I was supposed to drive the 6.0 but it was getting detailed today. Here are a few pictures.

Sure can....if you removed our boots and were able to see the internals of ours they are basically the same. I drove a older Ferrari 328 years ago, and it made the coolest "click, click" when you change gears.


Love the F430 Spider, and its got a manual, no F1....which is rare and damn cool.

F430 spyder is bad ***, that car in black is the sickest thing to over roll out of their door.

PM me what you are looking for and I'll see what he can do or just call the number on the side of the trailer in the first picture. He more specializes in Lamborghini or Ferrari but the worst he could say is no.
