So, the numbers have come up trumps, which would you choose?

Lets assume you like black, these have similar mileage, similar years and are similarly priced,
If you only had a choice between these two, which would it be?

Very close call for me...I would hope for both!! but that's being greedy :no:

Aye, same. Not as 'common' as 430. Toy would be more extreme if the big one landed.

I was at lancasters in Colchester a few weeks back...spent a few minutes sitting in the cockpit of a 612...I'm still grinning!

I would go for the F430 as the 612 although nice enough deos not really say Ferrari as well as the 430 and yeh they may be "common" but not that common at nearly £100k for a used one.
still a lovely car.
But lottery numbers up and its into a lambo with a grancabriolet as me everyday car.

never liked the 612 Spaghetti, so it would have to be the brash, noisy thug for me.

with you on that one, my friend (that guy i brought to ace with the lambo pjs) has got a f430 spyder in grey with red leather, its just beautiful, if you all want a gents car the f430 is not it but the 599 is
612 wont have that classic appeal in few years esp when its already 80k 5 years on from £180k, a good 599 is still £130k

Why would you swap a F430 for an R8, even if it is a V10 model, it is still quite a boring car, only Italy make exciting cars.

I have driven an R8 round the Dubai Autodrome, and yes, its very good, but it was no better than the GS, the Audi does have a very sophisticated traction control system that we were not aloud to turn off. I have been in an F430 and its a completely different animal, no contest.
