You just need to know the right people Just kidding, I've been a client of theirs for a couple years now, you build up relationships with these people. They let me drive anything they have on their showroom floor. If they don't have it, they'll find it

awesome ferrari by the way,saw my first 430 about 2 months ago in cape town and it blew me away.Enjoy it in good health
Nice to see another South African on the forum. I believe mine is one of 6 F430 coupe's in the country and the only one in this colour.

@meanmachine: s2kSA is correct. They are manufactures by High Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth.

This is why, the Noble is so much fun No driver aids and it lets do what ever you want!

Yes, there is only one Aston dealership in the country so far that I know of. So it has to be in Joburg. Sure, when ever you're up here let me know. We're organise something.

Yes, all those cars are in my signature. I still have an ML63 & F430 Spider on order. The roads here are really terrible and I hate sedans, so only SUV's for daily beaters, thank you!
