Gareth it does have them on but not in those photos.

Do You know you are responsable for me buying this car As i have been a F car fan since i was 5 and have every book and vid on them but could never fine a fourm for Ferraris that is untill you posted a link on here the other day to Ferrari Chat .com now i have talked to 348 owners and take the plunge and brought one So that you very much

I had my hart set on a 355 from what books i have read but could not aford one for a few more years and was aways told the 348 was a poor second so dismised it until i drove 1 and and 355 and there is not much in it well not Ł20 K difrence. So i see it as 1 run on the F car ladder.

glad i helped dude.. there seams some tidy people on there
i like reading the ferrar 288gto, f40 f50 and f60 topic lists,,,,, someone was saying that a guy should put a jap boost controller on a f40

the last couple of months im getting very intrested in a ferrari (more than just liking them)

are you going to service the 348 yourself? i got a contact who sells (not a friend so not cheap ) he sells workshop manuals,,, rare as hell (got the 360 manuals already,,, f40 next )

gareth

Just for you Gareth

I don't know about the serviceing i can do it myself ( i have the skills) But i think it can mess up the Re- sale Value. Can you find out what a service/ Workshop maual would cost me?

Guy at work had a 348 TB. No. PLate was 348 TB Blew the box whilst touring in europe, luckily they were visiting marenello at the time. It cost a grand to fix at the factory, and was done within a day. Not bad if you ask me.

I think they look far better in the flesh.

Cool, i never knew that!! Dont think ill be telling my customers that tho!! Most of the newer cars' workshop manuals come in various sections, or are on CD rom.

Paul,
DON'T DO IT!

The 348 is the worst handling Ferrari EVER produced . If you're buying it to just pootal around in and pose, then fair enough, but if you start to push it on, it has the most evil snap over-steer of any car known to man .

Save your money for a 355, they are SO much better than the 348, that it is like comparing chalk with cheese.
