We Drive a Manual F430, then get STRANDED by a FERRARI 456GTA

The week started out strong, with the completion of our manual converted F430, and delivery back to the client. Initially, things were still looking good with the 456 major, until the road test......... 👉 Want to see more from the world of Ferrari? Check out more videos here:    • The World of Ferrari   Our F430 manual conversion project comes to an end. I finish up all the loose ends and the additional work that the customer requested. Specifically, lowering the car. I ended up lowering the car 30mm and spent some time leveling out the ride height. Then, the moment we have all been waiting for, we get our gated 430 out on the road. After a successful road test, I was able to finalize all the work and deliver the car back to the client. With the 430 out of the shop, I was able to return to our 456 major service project. I had high hopes of finishing the car this week as well. I had it in my sights, I could taste it. That is, until I took the 456 out for its road test, then it all went south. Very south. What a terrible way to end the week. Enjoy as I bring you up to speed on the shop and take you through my work week. If you enjoyed the video, hit that thumbs up and drop a comment below.

I imagine my early exposure to this culture ignited a spark of interest in cars, which remains my passion. 🎓 I am a proud Alumni of Wyoming Technical Institute @WyoTechAutoMechanicSchool where I studied Automotive Technology, Performance Engine Building & Street Rod Fabrication. In addition to "WyoTech," I graduated from the BMW Service Technician Education Program, more commonly known as BMW S.T.E.P. 🏎️ I spent nearly ten years working in various BMW dealerships as a Master Technician. After a move back home to the PNW, I found myself no longer servicing German-made machines but now working with Italians. I spent nearly another ten years as a Ferrari Master Technician & Shop Foreman at a local Ferrari dealership. 🏆 Ferrari selected me as one of 12 technicians worldwide to compete in the "Ferrari Testa Rossa Awards" for four years consecutively. Finishing in 3rd place in 2016, & in 2019 I was able to place in 1st, winning the competition & earning the title of the "Top Ferrari Technician in the World!" 🚀 As my time with Ferrari came to an end, a new career path awaited me…. Aerospace. I am currently working at Blue Origin, helping to build & develop the BE-3PM and BE-3U rocket engines. With my new career path, I needed an outlet for my automotive passion, thus the reason for this channel… #f430 #ferrari #ferrariservice #seattle #mastertech #ferrari456 #ferrari430 #456 #fail
