Default Just bought myself a Ferrari
OK OK
i know its not a REAL Ferrari (as some put it)
and i know the brakes will cook if i go on a track day with it
but its what i wanted
have not got any decent pics yet but below is the link to the dealer page!!

Its in the Best colour RED and is 100% standard
fulll history and belts service done 3 months ago

I could of afforded a F355 but there too wide for my garage
after driving both this 348 was the one for me...


I have no intention of changing the wheels or using spacers etc as i gamble on Ferrari knowing best

I thought the same m8 i thought long and hard about buying one and the dash etc is a bit 90s

but for the miles i do which is no more than 2k a year i decided it was a good purchase
And i recon its gonna be half the cost per year top run than my escort was

That looks stunning in gleaming red.

Dont know why, but the 348 seems to look so much more modern in red than it does in any other colour.

Have to agree on the brakes though, my mate used to cook his all the time on track.

Chris, I know this car and the previous owner. His name is Steve, from Salisbury (builder)..........

We both displayed our cars at the Beaulieu RS show about 4 years ago.

lovely car mate,i love ferrari's.my mate had one oof these and it was nice except he bought a left hooker(but when going down a high street people thought it was mine ) i hate red cars normally but i love red ferrari's except the 550/575m they have to be black or metallic grey imo.

one thing you have to remember as well,although you will be possibly cutting running costs on it,the re-sale value on a ferrari once it gets to a certain age only goes up

nice choice,nice car lucky man
