How Do You Replace A Ferrari 430 Scuderia? Why I Sold Mine, And What's Replacing It

[@Pandamonium128]

Well I can't say I expected that. I think you've gone for a very left field choice here, it'll be interesting to see how different it is to the scud.

That whole opening segment was sublime and exactly the reason why I rate the channel so highly. Ignore the whinging dribblers mate, your channel and ever increasing popularity is proof that doing things the way YOU want to is working wonders 👍🏻

What whinging dribblers? His community is one of the most enthusiastic and supportive on KZbin!

[@JasonMilner]

Not usually a fan of carbon trim, but in this case, I'm happy to make an exception. Usually carbon trim (as opposed to a carbon tub) is all about the bling factor, but this is stealth carbon. It's a set of subtle details you don't even notice until you look a little closer, and I love that.

[@YrnehLrak]

Congratz on your new 430! You asked us to chime in so heres the opinion: it looks GREAT in black. I love how its carbon bits blend in. The original owner probably thought a ferrari were flashy enough, but here are these carbon bits that only people whos familiar with the car will notice and appreciate. The color matched stripes to the rims are perfect. No haste changing the look of this one Jayemm! Gratz again.

[@railb1rd]

I thought exactly the same. Hearing him say he wants golden rims on this literally felt painful. I would rather think about painting the break calibers also in grey.

[@goodfest007]

Totally agree - keep it original and sophisticated…the original owner had class…

[@lptomtom]

TBH nothing's flashy enough for him, no wonder he's a bit underwhelmed by such an elegant colour combination

[@Sean_Farmer]

I think you made great decisions with the cars you purchased and totally understand the reasoning behind each one. Having that diversity allows for different driving experiences and, in theory, will keep you interested in each one for quite some time. The fact that you got a replacement with all that extra carbon is a great bonus!

[@garycollard1981]

Ah, the word "diversity" in a positive way I can understand :)

[@johnnywalker9082]

Reasoning aka excuses. Aka James is a nightmare customer

[@drumpaul1347]

[@clivecato5923]

I am a fairly recent viewer (2 years or so) of your channel. I grew up reading what car. Car etc from 1974 as a teenager, and loved reading the tests. Scoops, and stories. To be Frank I find hyper cars occasionally interesting. ( 200 - 300 plus mph down a Air strip..... Little drama except great engine noise... Thank god for that !) I love that you give space to try all types of cars, but testing a car, and loving it for weeks. Months or a year you get to understand if it is for you or not long term we're servicing. Parts. Maybe even mods to improve reliability. Drivability. These are some things I am sure you have considered (I have not yet watched the video, but the thumb nail warranted a comment!) now on to the video (sorry.. Film !)

[@TheChugnut]

I love your candidness about some people's bizarre comments. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@richardcarter1000]

I still love the early F355. You're building a great collection there. I had a suspension rattle on mine for a few years, changed shocks, bushes etc. Turned out to be a gearbox mount.

Corvette c8 z51 in europe might have been interesting to consider possibly sometime in the future now that they come with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. Awesome new ferrari f430 though. Beautiful as is . Great video

[@ratty383]

I agree with a lot of the other comments on here,I think Its spec is very subtle, the carbon blends really well and the wheels are well matched to the grey stripes, The original owner did a great job. Gold wheels? Not for me but it ain’t my car !

[@jameskalas16]

Congrats James! Wasn’t expecting another Scud but completely get it. If I was lucky enough to be in a position to buy a car if that ilk, it would be either a Scud or a 997.2 GT3 👌🏻

[@scuddryvr8784]

James, I’ve owned both. Great taste in cars. The 997.2 is fantastic, and honestly I was worried the Scud could not top the driving experience. I was not able to properly drive the Scud on my test drive in a major city. I took a leap of faith. First time I hammered it on a back road back home my worries disappeared. The V8 scream tops the mezger howl and seeing the horse on the steering wheel is much more special. Reliability is the only thing I worry about. I knew the GT3 was gonna start every time with no warning lights. Scud is just a matter of time.

[@scuddryvr8784]

I have some videos on my channel.

Congratulations! Great car. I am on a second scooter of myself. My first one was a high mile Rosa Corsa, my current one is a 4300 mile GIALLO MODENA. I have tried to buy Speciale a few years back, but I was very disappointed by the size of a car as well as the lack of noise. Scooter is I just pure and raw. I am keeping this one as long as I can!

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Loved the intro, if we all acted on everything people left as critique in comments, would we ever get any great content. Having such content as yours away from mainstream as a private individual, for me is the pinnacle of information. Genuine, honest....do I agree with everything you say? perhaps not but that is not worth the effort of mentioning. I love cars, always have, as much as you I'd say, but could I put together the videos with the succinct comprehension, repeatedly in a way that people enjoy. I doubt it. Jay just keep doing what you are doing, being yourself. I have learnt and received so much great info from your content. As always thanks!

[@ethanthomas68]

I think the spec is beautiful! Normally I would say there is too much black, but in this case, the subtle color and material nuances on the exterior and interior make everything work.

[@beaches2mountains230]

HONESTLY I LOVE THE CARBON ON THE BLACK BC IT LOOKS ALL BLACK FROM AFAR BUT WHEN YOU GET CLOSE YOU SEE ALL TJE LOVELY DETAILS THATSKE FERRARI'S VERY SPECIAL. YOU DID GREAT! I THINK IF THE WHEELS WERE A DARKER SHADE OF GOLD LIKE OR PEWTER COLORED WOULD LOOK GORGEOUS JAMES !! HAPPY FOR YOU !

[@davidtucker5432]

I know that the cars you own partly support the channel, hut its interesting how a lot of KZbinrs spend huge amounts on cars, but dont have enough room to park most of them at their house! Have you considered a Car Guys style building? No need for storage fees then... it was staggering how much Shmee was paying for a few grotty spaces in London.

[@vwgolf9826]

I'd love to know how much a large KZbin channel returns? Running three Ferrari's the costs must be eye watering.

[@kieranblacker]

I know a few people with Fairly big channels, and they make good money. Mainly sponsorships. However also worth noting, if they run it as a business they can claim expenses etc. So bills and fuel get effectively 20% cheaper.

Bit of a different scale, but I have a Civic Type R FK8 and an Integra DC5, I think they compliment each other wonderfully so I get where you're coming from!

[@jessicabruno2820]

I have a lot of respect for you James, I like the channel and your general down-to-earth attitude. I'm definitely not usually the kind of person who will make criticisms on KZbin video comments but I find myself excessively triggered by your new Ferrari not having a front numberplate. It seems to me in general the purview of people who think they are better than everyone else and have lots of money so it doesn't matter if they get pulled over and fined. I don't think that's who you are. I certainly hope not. I always ran A front numberplate on my Celica even though I think it did nothing for the looks of the car. I hope you will too.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

There's actually an update coming about the front plate, in short I hate it when cars don't have one too!

[@Lou-f]

The black with carbon cool way to go, you only notice the cf when you get up close, and the black paint means you have to clean it before you take it out so it’ll always be pleasing to drive.

[@bobbykingma4109]

First of all, you are a great 'KZbinr', and secondly; "Your stories and thoughts are so clear and obvious". I can not name any other 'KZbinr' that is able to be this clear.

[@martinmoore7551]

James. As far as I am concerned your decision making is spot on. Great car, and with the plans you have will be very special. But, three Ferrari on the drive, what are you trying to do to all your fans ? We are already in awe at what you have achieved, and now you tell us you have a second channel, really??? We love you and and the journey you are taking us on, and wish you continued success and long life, but where do you find those shirts ?

[@venom5809]

Good choice getting another one, I love that car. My neighbor has a red 16M Spider and I have never gotten tired of seeing or hearing that car. You should definitely get a 355 also, my buddy has matching purple F430s and 355 Spiders and they are just gorgeous. Once the car market goes back to normal I will probably get a 430, I think the 458 is hideous and the 488 and onwards are uninteresting and all seem to blend together.

[@andyhammond32]

I'm with you on vehicles complementing each other. I have a similar, but different take. Driving experience and occasion. Therefore. in my garage. I have a white 2019 Maserati Ghibli SQ4 Gran Lusso. A red 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Convertible. And a 2021 Red Ducati Diavel 1260S. It helps that I live in a warm climate in Durham, North Carolina US. Not Durham by Newcastle. Although I once bought a Nissan Skyline R33 there ( Durham UK ) and imported it to Sweden where I lived at the time. Oh and I almost forgot. I also have a 2022 Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter for riding around the Raleigh/Durham area. Cheers // Chris ( a Swede in the US )

[@chriscooper3384]

Wise way of buying a Ferrari of this era. The options lists started to become extensive around the F430 and 599GTB meaning that cars MSRP’s could be wildly different in period. A really well spec’d F430 drives and looks very very different to a more standard car. The same goes for the 599. I always look at spec differences when looking at Ferrari’s.

Not what you want on your driveway (because its broken).James..if you *really* want some attention to this channel that will have people hanging out for each episode...have the new Scuderia converted to a manual box. I could almost guarantee there would be universal excitement over this. There are companies doing it now, very successfully and, it would make your Scud quite unique on KZbin. Why not run a poll on this channel for a month and let the vote results speak for themselves?

[@GM-fh5jp]

@Richard Harrold No intention of "demanding a binding result" however he *did* buy it with a main criteria of it being a business enhancing part of his fleet, not just a toy for him to enjoy in private.

Not to mention owning the *only* manual 430 Scuderia on YT. That's some pretty big bragging rights...
