My coop has the plesure of sharing a car park with my bosses beatiful Ferrari F430 (in black). Looking at the two of them together I can't help feeling like the Ferrari looks like the coops big brother. Will try and get some pics when the boss isn't looking  It is a good sight

One of the directors at my company treated himself to a 430, I've been promised a drive in it but haven't claimed it yet. And, as luck would have it a manager at my old work had one too, he showed me round it. Lovely Clicky

The other week I had my coupe parked next to my bosses Evo FQ-360 one one side and his bosses Lambo Gallardo on the other side  Didnt have my camera with me unfortunately, but the coupe didnt look out of place at all.

I personnaly think that the coop fits in nicely with that sort of crowd, it can handle itself.

Yeah - They're in IT - and some other stuff... Other directors got a DB9, a Murcielago AND a F430 Spider! Makes me slightly sick. Mind you one of their mob phone bills this month is twice what I earn last month.......likes to use his phone in spain.  Heres a question - whats the cheapest car you can buy that looks better than a good standard LE (in whatever colour you like) For me I reckon its probably a second hand F355! (prob around £40,000 at a guess) I really can't think of anything else... I really hope no-one suggests the Audi TT  - although being fair the new one is more of a contender I suppose.

IT bores the arse off me on a daily basis But all depends on the job obviously. Never taught IT but used to teach drums full time. That was never boring! But you're never gonna buy an F430 like that (not that I will doing IT support thou either)

Nope, I certainly will never have a ferrari on Trainers wages, but it is an excellent stepping stone to other careers!

Being in IT means about as much as saying I work in a hospital. You could be anything foma janitor to a brain surgeon. How many times has someone asked you to fix their computer because you work in IT. That's like saying to someone who works in a hospital to sort out your ingrowing toe nail My boss has a 599 btw. Got a photo of my coupe next to it somewhere

I'm an IT Manager (worked up from IT Technician over a couple of jobs).
Looks like working in IT is possibly the most common profession amongst Coupe owners....I wonder why?

Wasn't it Gino's mate who had an F430 - and brought it along to the North Weald airfield thing. It sounded  (but was silver, and should surely be red).

Yeah Nobby! Why would anyone buy a Ferrari in anything but red?? I just can't understand it. OK maybe if its a 550 or 575 or 599 - a grand tourer and you want it to be discreet.......but still! - you could have a red one!! I can understand Yellow - still a traditional Ferrari colour - and the 360 did look amazing in it. I ACTCUALLY saw a beige 360 Modena in Norwich last year! And that is not a lie. Who the fccuk! decides on a ferrari and then decides beige! - Schizophrenic or what! I shouted pleanty abuse out of my car window at him.
